Abstract Liver transplantation is one of the most commonly performed surgical procedures for the treatment of end-stage liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma. Post-transplantation complications include vascular, nonvascular, and biliary. Common imaging techniques used to evaluate the hepatic graft are ultrasonography (US), CT, MR imaging, cholangiography, angiography, and scintigraphy. The purposes of this pictorial review are to review imaging findings of complications of...

PangAbstractInvadosomes are invasive protrusions generated by cells which can secrete matrix metalloproteinases for focal digestion of extracellular matrix. They also aid invasive cancer cells in their transmigration through vascular endothelium. However, how the physical and chemical cues in a three-dimensional (3D) system signal the spatial localization...

Abstract In this study, we systemically investigated the positions and orientations of matrix attachment regions (MARs) in expression vectors to fully explore the mechanism for improving transgene expression. We constructed 14 vectors that incorporated human β-globin MARs into pIRES-eGFP backbone vectors. The MARs flanked the eGFP expression cassette or promoter in a forward/reverse orientation. After stable transfection into CHO-K1 cells with these vectors, eGFP expression levels...
