Background: Physiological focal radiopharmaceutical uptake in the head and uncinate process of the pancreas may be seen on somatostatin receptor-based PET/CT and might lead to false-positive results for neuroendocrine tumours (NETs). We aimed to perform a systematic review and a meta-analysis about the prevalence of this finding. Methods: We performed a comprehensive computer literature search...

The human Descemet's membrane and lens capsule : protein composition and biomechanical properties

Halfter, Willi ; Moes, Suzette ; Halfter, Kathrin ; Schoenenberger, Monica S. ; Monnier, Christophe A. ; Kalita, Joanna ; Asgeirsson, Daphne ; Binggeli, Tatjana ; Jenoe, Paul ; Scholl, Hendrik P.N. ; Henrich, Paul Bernhard

The Descemet's membrane (DM) and the lens capsule (LC) are two ocular basement membranes (BMs) that are essential in maintaining stability and structure of the cornea and lens. In this study, we investigated the proteomes and biomechanical properties of these two materials to uncover common and unique properties. We also screened for possible protein changes during diabetes. LC-MS/MS was used...

Thèse de doctorat : Università della Svizzera italiana, 2020 ; 2020INFO018.

The immune system has a critical role in diseases of primary importance such as infections and cancer. Hence, it represents a target for novel therapeutic strategies. However, the immune system relies on a complex network of cell-to-cell interactions which remains largely unknown, or difficult to be interpreted. The combination of experimental data with computational methods is of paramount...
