GENE TRANSFER AND GENOME EDITING FOR FAMILIAL HYPERCHOLESTEROLEMIA

Gene transfer and genome editing for familial hypercholesterolemia

Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease characterized by high circulating low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.High circulating LDL cholesterol in FH is due to dysfunctional LDL receptors, and is mainly expressed by hepatocytes.Affected patients rapidly develop atherosclerosis, potentially leading to myoca

Broadband Circularly Polarized Filtering Antennas

This paper consists of two parts.The first part presents a review of the recent development in broadband circularly polarized filtering antennas.The second part presents a novel design of broadband integrated filtering antenna based on eighth-mode SIW (EMSIW) resonators for rectenna applications.This work has three main novel contributions.First, b

Towards new educational potentialities: Review and commentary of the Preliminary draft Act on higher education

The Higher Education Act is a long-awaited legal act.A number of uncompleted attempts to prepare it have been undertaken in the course of the last three years.So far without success.Having been and still being a matter of highest social priority, the renewed effort to create and subsequently to enact this act is welcome as a worthwhile and a highly

Double parton correlations in Light-Front constituent quark models

Double parton distribution functions (dPDF) represent a tool to explore the 3D proton structure.They can be measured in high energy proton-proton and proton nucleus collisions and encode information on how Bike Units - Adventure partons inside a proton are correlated among each other.dPFDs are studied here in the valence quark region, by means of a
