Cell migration in dense microenvironments by de Freitas Nader, Guilherme Pedreira, García-Arcos, Juan Manuel

“…The nucleus has been viewed as a passenger during cell migration that functions merely to protect the genome. However, increasing evidence shows that the nucleus is an active organelle, constantly sensing the surrounding environment and translating extracellular mechanical inputs into intracellular signaling. …”

Chorioamnionitis and Lung Injury in Preterm Newborns by Gustavo Rocha

“…Genetic susceptibility to BPD is an evolving area of research and several studies have directly related the risk of BPD to genomic variants. There is a substantial heterogeneity across the studies in the magnitude of the association between chorioamnionitis and BPD, and whether or not the association is statistically significant. …”
