Impact of hyperbaric oxygenation therapy (HBOT) on renal function in human by Solveig Kanowski, Yuanhao Shen, Till Klein, Marcus J. Moeller, Andreas Koch, Franziska Theilig

“…Although HBOT is frequently used in man, knowledge about effects of HBOT on kidney function is still lacking in humans. The aim of this pilot study was to monitor changes in renal function parameters, including hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) and erythropoietin and employing urinary EV´s to document renal alterations. …”

Identification of functional non-coding variants associated with orofacial cleft by Priyanka Kumari, Ryan Z. Friedman, Sarah W. Curtis, Lira Pi, Kitt Paraiso, Axel Visel, Lindsey Rhea, Martine Dunnwald, Anjali P. Patni, Daniel Mar, Karol Bomsztyk, Julie Mathieu, Hannele Ruohola-Baker, Elizabeth J. Leslie-Clarkson, Michael A. White, Barak A. Cohen, Robert A. Cornell

“…For two SNPs near IRF6 and one near FOXE1, we engineer the genome of induced pluripotent stem cells, differentiate the cells into embryonic oral epithelium, and discover allele-specific effects on the levels of effector gene expression, and, in two cases, the binding affinity of transcription factors FOXE1 or ETS2. Conditional analyses of GWAS data suggest the two functional SNPs near IRF6 account for the majority of risk for CL/P at this locus. …”

Testing silicone digit extensions as a way to suppress natural sensation to evaluate supplementary tactile feedback. by Leonard F Engels, Leonardo Cappello, Anke Fischer, Christian Cipriani

“…However, few studies on supplementary tactile feedback for hand prostheses demonstrated a functional benefit. We suggest that confounding factors impede accurate assessment of feedback, e.g., testing non-amputee participants that inevitably focus intently on learning EMG control, the EMG's susceptibility to noise and delays, and the limited dexterity of hand prostheses. …”
