«Det er provoserende når psykologspesialist Bente Sommerfeldt snakker om spiseforstyrrelser som en mestringsstrategi og overopptatthet av kropp og mat», skriver Mona Berg Hansen i dette innlegget. GENETISK: «Ingen ønsker å påføre pasienter eller pårørende mer lidelse gjennom uheldig språkbruk», skriver Mona Berg Hansen. Dette er en ytring. Den gir uttrykk for skribentens meninger.

Abstract Foxi1 is a master regulator of ionocytes (ISCs / INCs) across species and organs. Two subtypes of ISCs exist, and both α- and α-ISCs regulate pH- and ion-homeostasis in epithelia. Gain and loss of FOXI1 function are associated with human diseases, including Pendred syndrome, male infertility, renal acidosis and cancers. Foxi1 functions were predominantly studied in the context of ISC specification, however, reports indicate additional functions in early and ectodermal development.
