What This Window Opens On

Electron spectroscopy: a new window opens.

Organogenesis of kidney and endocrine pancreas: the window opens.

Growing new organs in situ by implanting developing animal organ primordia (organogenesis) represents a novel solution to the problem of limited supply for human donor organs that offers advantages relative to transplanting embryonic stem (ES) cells or xenotransplantation of developed organs. Successful transplantation of organ primordia depends on obtaining them at defined windows during embry...

Erectile dysfunction and coronary artery disease: the cardiac window opens.

There is now a large body of evidence linking erectile dysfunction (ED) and coronary artery disease (CAD) (1). The common pathophysiology is endothelial dysfunction and with ED being recognised as a predominantly vascular disease the recognition that ED may present 2–5 years before cardiac symptoms has opened the window of opportunity to use ED as a marker of silent CAD and a means, therefore, ...
