Abstract

Our experimental study in dogs suggests that laser-activated detachable coil devices show promise in the embolization of carotid aneurysms, allowing the interventionalist greater control than possible with nonretractable coil systems and permitting detachment of the coil from the wire in seconds.

Cajal Bodies & Gems

Cajal bodies or coiled bodies are dense foci of coilin protein. Gemini of Cajal bodies, or gems, are microscopically similar to Cajal bodies. It is believed that Cajal bodies play important roles in RNA processing while gems assist the Cajal bodies. Find the latest research on Cajal bodies and gems here.
