Ancient Greek aÂma [haima] = blood a·matow [haimatos] = of blood lÒgow [logos]= reasoning Scientific Latin haematologicus (adjective) = related to blood Scientific Latin haematologica (adjective, plural and neuter, used as a noun) = hematological subjects Modern English the hematology journal 2009 JCR® Impact Factor = 6.416 Haematologica/The Hematology Journal, as the official organ of the European Hematology Association (EHA), aims not only to serve the scientific community, but also to promote European cultural identity. haematologica— Vol. 95 supplement n. 4 — October 2010 — p.

One of the cell cycle genes targeted by the miR-17 seed family C001 was CDKN1A coding for the p21 protein. We showed that CDKN1A is a valid target for this miRNA seed family although the effects on both FROM HIGH DIMENSIONAL DATA TO DISEASE MECHANISMS – NOTCH SIGNALLING protein and mRNA levels were limited.

We conclude that NOTCH signalling is aberrantly activated in a cell the B-cell program in CHL, and might provide a basis for the autonomous manner in cHL. This is mediated by high-level expression immunophenotypic alterations seen in MGZL. Thus, we performed a of the essential NOTCH coactivator MAML2, a protein that is only large scale DNA methylation array of MGZL, CHLNS, PMBL as well as weakly expressed in B cells from healthy donors.

MGZL showed van den Berg A, Ping Tan L, Gibcus J, Kluiver J, Slezack-Prochzka I, great overlap with CHLNS (49 common targets) and PMBL (50 common Halsema N, de Jong D, Kroesen B-J, Poppema S targets).
