Impact of biobanks on research outcomes in rare diseases: a systematic review

This review made the important observation that registries with biobanks had the function of both stand-alone registries and stand-alone rare disease biobanks

Research

PI3K activation in neural stem cells drives tumorigenesis which can be ameliorated by targeting the cAMP response element binding protein

Our findings present a novel mouse model for glioma demonstrating that the PI3K pathway is important for initiation of tumorigenesis

Research

Midwives’ attitudes, beliefs and concerns about childhood vaccination: A review of the global literature

The majority of midwives supported vaccination, although a spectrum of beliefs and concerns emerged

Research

Exposure to chorioamnionitis alters the monocyte transcriptional response to the neonatal pathogen Staphylococcus epidermidis

Our findings suggest that prenatal exposure to inflammation may alter the risk of sepsis in preterm infants partly by modulation of monocyte responses to pathogens
