    • Apoptosis of leukocytes: Basic concepts and implications in uremia 

      Jaber, Bertrand L. [UNIFESP]; Cendoroglo Neto, Miguel [UNIFESP]; Balakrishnan, Vaidyanathapuram S.; Perianayagam, Mary C.; King, Andrew J.; Pereira, Brian JG (Blackwell Science Inc, 2001-02-01)
      Circulating blood leukocytes have short life expectancies and end their lives by committing programmed cell death or apoptosis. Apoptosis is an active form of cell death that is initiated by a number of stimuli and is ...

    • Associations between cytokine gene polymorphisms and recurrent pregnancy loss 

      Daher, S.; Shulzhenko, N.; Morgun, A.; Mattar, Rosiane [UNIFESP]; Rampim, G. F.; Camano, L.; DeLima, M. G. (Elsevier B.V., 2003-02-01)
