Abstract
In Wistar rats, specific inhibitor UPS lactacystin induced degeneration of 24% of the dopaminergic neurons in the black substance. The work shows that a moderate weakening of the UPS function is characterized by an enhanced activity of the shaperon system. This process seems to resto...

Abstract
The ongoing evolution of transcatheter valve technology is impressive. Mitral valve regurgitation is the most common type of heart valve insufficiency and mitral valve surgery is, next to aortic valve surgery, the second leading valvular surgical procedure in the western world. However, there is a l...
