Background: Exploring the expression of X linked disorders like haemophilia A (HA) in females involves understanding the balance achieved through X chromosome inactivation (XCI). Skewed XCI (SXCI) may be involved in symptomatic HA carriers. We aimed to develop an approach for dissecting the specific cause of SXCI and verify its value in HA.

Wound-infiltrated monocytes/macrophages are more pro-inflammatory at early time points, while showing anti-inflammatory/pro-reparative phenotypes at later phases, with highly dynamic switching depending on the wound environment. Chronic wounds are often arrested in the inflammatory phase with hampered inflammatory/repair phenotype transition.

The sound-induced seizures exhibit a short latency (7-9 s), which implies innate protein disturbances in the IC as a basis for seizure susceptibility and generation. Here, we aim to study the protein profile in the GASH/Sal IC in comparison to controls.
