PROCESS ATTRIBUTES IN BIO-ONTOLOGIES

Process attributes in bio-ontologies

Abstract Background Biomedical processes can provide essential information about the (mal-) functioning of an organism and are thus frequently represented in biomedical terminologies and ontologies, including the GO Biological Process branch.These TOOTHPASTE SPEARMINT processes often need to be described and categorised in terms of their attributes

Synaptotagmin 7 switches short-term synaptic plasticity from depression to facilitation by suppressing synaptic transmission

Abstract Short-term synaptic plasticity is a fast and robust modification in neuronal presynaptic output that can enhance release strength to drive facilitation or diminish it to promote depression.The mechanisms that determine whether neurons display short-term facilitation or depression are still unclear.Here we show that the Ca2+-binding protein

Interstitial brachytherapy for liver metastases and assessment of response by positron emission tomography: a case report

For liver metastases (LM), image guided percutaneous ablative procedures such as radiofrequency ablation (RFA), laser induced thermal therapy (LITT) and trans-arterial Outerwear chemo-embolisation (TACE) are increasingly being used because they are relatively safer, less invasive and equally effective.CT scan guided interstitial brachytherapy (IBT)
