MESOANGIOBLASTS FROM FACIOSCAPULOHUMERAL MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY DISPLAY IN VIVO A VARIABLE MYOGENIC ABILITY PREDICTABLE BY THEIR IN VITRO BEHAVIOR

Mesoangioblasts from Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy Display in Vivo a Variable Myogenic Ability Predictable by their in Vitro Behavior

Facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy (FSHD) is the third most frequent inherited myopathy.We previously demonstrated that mesoangioblasts can be efficiently isolated from FSHD muscles, although their differentiation ability into skeletal muscle was variably impaired.This correlates with overall disease severity and degree of histopathologic abnor

Identifying Centres of Plant Biodiversity in South Australia.

We aimed to identify regional centres of plant biodiversity in South Australia, a sub-continental land area of 983,482 km2, by mapping a suite of metrics.Broad-brush conservation issues associated with the centres were mapped, specifically climate sensitivity, exposure to habitat fragmentation, introduced species and altered fire regimes.We compile
