Soluble products from antigen stimulated Trypanosoma cruzi-immune spleen cells enhanced the expression of Ia antigens on proteose-peptone-elicited mouse peritoneal macrophages (Mphi). Acquisition of Ia paralleled Mphi...
Red cells from LK sheep represent an important paradigm for control of KCl cotransport activity, as well as being important to sheep erythroid function. A previous report (Godart et al., 1997) suggested that autologous plasma...
AN OIL SKETCH by Louis Laguerre in the Victoria and Albert Museum, London (Fig.15), has long been assumed to depict The marriage of Cupid and Psyche for the decora- tion of the staircase ceiling commissioned by Thomas Os- borne...
Gravitational waves provide us with a new window into our Universe, and have
already been used to place strong constrains on the existence of light scalar
fields, which are a common feature in many alternative theories of...
Aposematic animals advertise their toxicity or unpalatability with bright warning coloration. However, acquiring and maintaining chemical defenses can be energetically costly, and consequent associations with other important...
CTL are held to be an important host defense mechanism in persistent herpes-virus infections. We have therefore studied the nature and specificity of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)-specific CTL in normal persistently infected...
AbstractThe dozens of compact object mergers detected by LIGO/Virgo raise a key theoretical question: how do initially wide binaries shrink sufficiently quickly that they are able...
Religious affiliation is an important identifying characteristic for many individuals and relates to numerous life outcomes including health, well-being, policy positions, and cognitive style. Using methods from computational...
Slowing is a common feature of ageing, yet a direct relationship between neural slowing and brain atrophy is yet to be established in healthy humans. We combine magnetoencephalographic (MEG) measures of neural processing speed...
The Maslach Burnout Inventory for healthcare professionals (MBI-HSS) and its abbreviated version (aMBI), are the most common tools to detect burnout in clinicians. A wide range in burnout prevalence is reported in...
Chemical defences against predators underlie the evolution of aposematic coloration and mimicry, which are classic examples of adaptive evolution. Surprisingly little is known about the roles of ecological and evolutionary...
