Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the quality of life (QoL) of children with a chronic illness treated in a tertiary multidisciplinary pediatric department in comparison with the general population.
Study Design: A cross-sectional study was conducted in the tertiary multidisciplinary (nephrology, hepatogastroenterology, endocrinology, diabetology, transplantation) pediatric department of Timone Hospital in Marseille, France. Patients 8-17 years of age with a chronic disease were included during regular follow-up appointments.
Current super-resolution microscopy (SRM) methods suffer from an intrinsic complexity that might curtail their routine use in cell biology. We describe here random illumination microscopy (RIM) for live-cell imaging at super-resolutions matching that of 3D structured illumination microscopy, in a robust fashion. Based on speckled illumination and statistical image reconstruction, easy to implement and user-friendly, RIM is unaffected by optical aberrations on the excitation side, linear to brightness, and compatible with multicolor live-cell imaging over extended periods of time.

Because several inflammatory cytokines contribute to psoriasis pathogenesis, inhibiting the simultaneous production of these cytokines in T17 cells may be beneficial in psoriasis. We found that Ca1.

- Epithelial tissue remodeling is crucial for organ shaping and relies on a precise sequence of gene expression and mechanical forces.
- Despite the presence of disturbances in their environment, studies on Drosophila developing legs show that certain mechanical biases help maintain consistency in morphogenesis.
- The protein Arpc5 affects the direction of tissue folds without interfering with overall force patterns, while specialized myosin II positioning enhances force transmission, safeguarding the tissue from mechanical disruptions.
The epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) converts coherent epithelial structures into single cells. EMT is a dynamic cellular process that is not systematically completed (not all EMTs lead to single cells) and reversible (cells can re-epithelialize). EMT is orchestrated at multiple levels from transcription, to posttranslational modifications, to protein turnover.
