GM-CSF is important in regulating acute, persistent neutrophilic inflammation in certain settings, including lung injury. Ligand binding induces rapid internalization of the GM-CSF receptor (GM-CSFRα) complex, a process...
Macrophages play a central role in intestinal immunity, but inappropriate macrophage activation is associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Here, we identify granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) as...
Subversion of the host immune system by viruses is often mediated by molecular decoys that sequester host proteins pivotal to mounting effective immune responses. The widespread mammalian pathogen parapox Orf virus deploys GIF...
Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (DASH) is an emerging solution that aims to standardize existing proprietary streaming systems. DASH specification defines the media presentation description (MPD), which describes a list of...
BACKGROUND: Granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and dysregulated myeloid cell responses are implicated in the pathophysiology and severity of COVID-19. METHODS: In this randomised, sequential, multicentre...
There is a gap in understanding the relationships between the transformation of agricultural landscapes, ecosystem services and human well-being in the peri-urban fringe of major cities worldwide. In this paper, we use...
Charcot neuroarthropathy is a rare but serious complication of diabetes, causing progressive destruction of the bones and joints of the foot leading to deformity, altered biomechanics and an increased risk of ulceration....
This 28 page thesis reports the synthesis of poly (4-vinylpyridine) by cationic and free radical initiators, concentrated sulfuric acid and benzoylperoxide, respectively. The molecular weights of the various samples were...

Abstract: Background: Structural brain changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) can occur decades before the onset of symptoms. The Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Aging, and Dementia (CAIDE) score has been suggested to be...
BACKGROUND: Structural brain changes associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD) can occur decades before the onset of symptoms. The Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Aging, and Dementia (CAIDE) score has been suggested to be associated...
In this note, I have studied a varying-coefficient model under cross-sectional dependence. The technique of Robinson (2011) is employed to mimic the dependence among cross-sectional data sets. The asymptotic normality is...
The win nets the Eagles an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. Senior Mantoris Robinson scored 14 points, and on defense kept Coastal's Joseph Harris to three points and one field goal.
The COVID-19 pandemic is a global public health crisis, with considerable mortality and morbidity exerting pressure on health-care resources, including critical care. An excessive host inflammatory response in a subgroup of...
Neutrophil apoptosis is essential for the resolution of inflammation but is delayed by several inflammatory mediators. In such terminally differentiated cells it has been uncertain whether these agents can inhibit apoptosis...
In this note, I have studied a varying-coefficient model under cross-sectional dependence. The technique of Robinson (2011) is employed to mimic the dependence among cross-sectional data sets. The asymptotic normality is...
Abstract: Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are the main structural cell of blood vessels, and VSMC apoptosis occurs in vascular disease, after injury, and in vessel remodeling during development. Although VSMC apoptosis is...
Neuroinflammation is increasingly recognized as playing a key pathogenetic role in Alzheimer's disease (AD). We examined the relationship between in vivo neuroinflammation and gray matter (GM) changes. Twenty-eight subjects with...
Higher socio-economic status (SES) has been proposed to have facilitating and protective effects on brain and cognition. We ask whether relationships between SES, brain volumes and cognitive ability differ across cohorts, by age...
Abstract: Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are the main structural cell of blood vessels, and VSMC apoptosis occurs in vascular disease, after injury, and in vessel remodeling during development. Although VSMC apoptosis is...
Routing mechanisms in Ultra-Dense Network (UDNs) are expected to be flexible, scalable, and robust in nature and the establishment of the shortest path between the source and destination pairs will always be a critical...
The developmental origin of dendritic cells, a specialized system of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class II-rich antigen-presenting cells for T-cell immunity and tolerance, is not well characterized....
