TL;DR: There is promising evidence that in spite of the lack of standardized protocols regarding the use of miRNA in current clinical practice, they constitute a reliable tool for future use, and it is anticipated that miRNAs will become a routine approach in the development of personalized patient profiles, thus permitting more specific therapeutic interventions.

TL;DR: ARFI elastography had very good accuracy for the assessment of liver fibrosis and was superior to other noninvasive methods (APRI Index, FibroMax) for staging liver Fibrosis.

TL;DR: A special type of cell in the human and rat exocrine pancreas that has phenotypic characteristics of the enteric interstitial cells of Cajal (pICC) is shown, and two‐dimensional reconstructions from serial photos suggest a network‐like spatial distribution of pICC.

TL;DR: A Cajal‐like type of tubal interstitial cells (t‐ICC), resembling the archetypal enteric ICC, is described here ‐ presumably for the first time’.

TL;DR: There is a great urge for a conceptual framework that could allow a better understanding, from a functional point of view, as the ICLC processes are the longest cellular prolongations (except neurons).
