Purpose.: We investigated the potential of human parthenogenetic embryonic stem cells (hPESCs) to differentiate into RPE cells, and identified development-regulating microRNAs (miRNAs). Methods.: were derived from hPESCs. The expression markers miRNA profiles during differentiation studied by immunocytochemistry, real-time RT-PCR, array at three time points. Human fetal (hfRPE) also analyzed. target genes candidate miRNAs then validated. Results.: hPESC-derived exhibited similar morphology...

Summary. A recent genome‐wide association study discovered that two polymorphisms, interferon (IFN) alpha receptor 2 (IFNAR‐2) F8S and interleukin 10 (IL10RB) K47E, were associated with susceptibility to hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection in Africa. Here, we reevaluate the effects of polymorphisms on HBV Chinese Han population, extended look at their IFN response chronic (CHB). We included 341 patients CHB unrelated controls presenting asymptotic self‐limited infection, who well matched age...
