ISO 15190:2003 is a new standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization to address the safety aspects of medical laboratories. It is directly linked to the ISO 15189:2003, the standard for quality and competence. It provides a framework for a safety program based upon the principles of quality management, including designation of responsibilities and authorities, regular audits, and continuous improvement.

Sorting nexins (SNXs) as the key regulators of sorting cargo proteins are involved in diverse diseases. SNXs can form the specific reverse vesicle transport complex (SNXs-retromer) with vacuolar protein sortings (VPSs) to sort and modulate recovery and degradation of cargo proteins. Our previous study has shown that SNX3-retromer promotes both STAT3 activation and nuclear translocation in cardiomyocytes, suggesting that SNX3 might be a critical regulator in the heart.
