Maize Thymidine Kinase Activity Is Present throughout Plant Development and Its Heterologous Expression Confers Tolerance to an Organellar DNA-Damaging Agent

Thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) phosphorylates thymidine nucleosides to generate thymidine monophosphate.This reaction belongs to the pyrimidine salvage route that is phylogenetically conserved.In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, TK activity contributes to Large Plate maintain nuclear and organellar genome integrity by providing deoxythymidine-tripho

A Prospective Non-Randomised Interventional Study of Goal-Directed Ultrafiltration Compared With Clinical Dry-Weight Assessment in Achieving Euvolemic Status of Patients on Maintenance Hemodialysis

An accurate assessment of intravascular volume status in hemodialysis (HD) TREATMENT SHAMPOO patients presents a significant challenge.Current clinical practices to determine dry weight is flawed due to interobserver variability and nonreproducibility.This miscalculation results in either chronic hypervolemia or hypovolemia with intra or interdialy
