We have read with interest the article recently pub-lished by Zanetto et al. inLiver Transplantationregarding the effect on radiologic progression of hepa-tocellular carcinoma (HCC) after the treatment withdirect-acting ...
Schwann cell precursors in health and disease.
(Wiley, 2017-11-10)
Schwann cell precursors (SCPs) are frequently regarded as neural crest-derived cells (NCDCs) found in contact with axons during nerve formation. Nevertheless, cells with SCPs properties can be found up to the adulthood. ...
Predictive models for recurrence risk of hepatocellular carcinoma after liver transplantation: Still an unmet need.
(Wiley, 2017-05-01)
