I have 1 concern related to the second function that remains to be addressed: how best to convey those comments to the end-users, program directors, and their residency selection committees.

This " universality " sugg...

متن کاملGene therapy for common acquired diseases of the heart : the Sirens' song.
The prospect of using genes as therapeutic agents presents myriad opportunities. No physician could fail to appreciate the power of this approach: why not abandon the shackles of the limited pharmacological and device repertoire and focus instead on reengineering the culprit tissue by somatic gene transfer?
