Perinatal stem cells revisited: directions and indications at the crossroads between tissue regeneration and repair.
2013
Perinatal stem cells research attracted great interest worldwide in recent years. Foetus-associated tissues contain various populations of stem cells, most of which are comprised within the category of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). This special issue collects both reviews and original reports on all the perinatal stem cell types which are currently under investigation. These cells have multiple promising features: differentiative capacity towards mature cell types of all the three germ layers, hypoimmunogenicity in vitro and in vivo, ease of sourcing, ex vivo culture and stor- age. In particular, immune modulation is viewed as a prom- ising feature of many MSCs populations, since these cel…
Bērnu un jauniešu mirstības tendences saistībā ar makroekonomiskajiem faktoriem Baltijas valstīs (2008 – 2018)
2020
Ievads: Bērnu mirstība Latvijā un Lietuvā vēsturiski ir bijusi ļoti augsta, ņemot vērā Eiropas Savienības standartu. Iepriekšējie pētījumi liecina par to, ka iespējams tas ir saistīts ar ekonomiskiem faktoriem. Šī pētījuma galvenais mērķis ir izpētīt sakarību starp bērnu mirstību dažadās vecumu grupās; perinatālā, jaundzimušā, zīdaiņu, jaunāki par pieciem gadiem un jauniešu (5-14), un starp Baltijas valstīm; Latviju, Igauniju un Lietuvu, sakarā ar makroekonomiskajiem faktoriem. Ņemot vērā neseno ekonomijas vēsturi, tika analizēti laika posmi no 2008 – 2018 gadam. Tas ļāva apskatīt to, vai globālajai finanšu krīzei bija efekts uz bērnu mirstību šajā reģionā. Metodes: Statistiskie dati par bē…
Age-dependent epileptic encephalopathy associated with an unusual co-occurrence of ZEB2 and SCN1A variants.
2020
Mowat-Wilson syndrome is a genetic disorder associated with a variable phenotype including peculiar facial features associated with intellectual disability, epilepsy, language impairment, and multiple congenital anomalies caused by heterozygous mutation of the ZEB2 gene. The ZEB2 protein is a complex transcription factor that encompasses multiple functional domains that interact with the regulatory regions of target genes including those involved in brain development. Recently, it has been documented that ZEB2 regulates the differentiation of interneuron progenitors migrating from the medial ganglionic eminence to cortical layers by repression of the Nkx2-1 homeobox transcription factor. It…

Congenital anomalies from a physics perspective. The key role of "manufacturing" volatility
2020
Genetic and environmental factors are traditionally seen as the sole causes of congenital anomalies. In this paper we introduce a third possible cause, namely random "manufacturing" discrepancies with respect to ``design'' values. A clear way to demonstrate the existence of this component is to ``shut'' the two others and to see whether or not there is remaining variability. Perfect clones raised under well controlled laboratory conditions fulfill the conditions for such a test. Carried out for four different species, the test reveals a variability remainder of the order of 10%-20% in terms of coefficient of variation. As an example, the CV of the volume of E.coli bacteria immediately after…
