Vibration suppression is an important topic for many engineering applications. There are different techniques, typically involving passive and active controllers. However, it can alternatively be obtained by designing ...

Olfactory chemotransduction involves a signaling cascade. In addition to triggering transduction, odors suppress ion conductances. By stimulating with brief odorant pulses, we observed a current associated with odor-induced ...

In this study, various sets of somatic cell hybrids, generated by the fusion of epithelial cell lines with B-lymphoblastoid cell lines, were analyzed for the expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class ...

γδ T cells have been shown to stimulate the recruitment and activation of neutrophils through the release of a range of cytokines and chemokines. Here, we investigated the reverse relationship, showing that human neutrophils ...

It has been shown that HLA class I molecules play a significant role in the regulation of the proliferation of T cells activated by mitogens and antigens. We evaluated the ability of mAb to a framework determinant of HLA ...

Rodent models of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have been used over decades to study the immunopathogenesis of the disease and to explore intervention strategies. Nevertheless, mouse models of RA reach their limit when it comes ...

Vertebrate olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs) exhibit odor-induced increases in action potential firing rate due to an excitatory cAMP-dependent current. Fish and amphibian ORNs also give inhibitory odor responses, manifested ...

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a cancerous lesion with high incidence worldwide. The immunoregulatory events leading to OSCC persistence remain to be elucidated. Our hypothesis is that regulatory T cells (Tregs) ...
