Forensic Context

A study in mice demonstrated that the TSPAN18 is a migrasome-related gene allocated to a kinetic pattern associated with lysosome and autophagy functions, showing decreasing expression along macrophage pseudo-time in cardiac Cd45+ cells from AMI-induced models [Zhu et al. DOI:10.3390/biomedicines12071626].
