Infectious diseases are major causes, with malignancies, of morbidity and mortality in the
elderly. Increased susceptibility to infections may result from underlying dysfunction of an aged …

The repertoire of autoantibodies found in cancer patients partly overlaps with that typical of
patients with autoimmune diseases. Beside the biochemical and immunological properties of …

Chromatin modifications regulate many nuclear processes. Recent studies on the
phosphorylation of a histone 2A variant have revealed that this chromatin modification is a …

DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair by nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) requires the
assembly of several proteins on DNA ends. Although biochemical studies have elucidated …

… The cone calorimeter exposes a small square horizontal test specimen (100×100×25 mm)
to a preset heat flux (in our case 50 kW/m 2 ), in the presence of an air flow (24 l/s), ignited by …

Single-molecule manipulation studies have revealed that double-stranded DNA undergoes
a structural transition when subjected to tension. At forces that depend on the attachment …

Repair of interstrand crosslinks (ICLs) requires multiple‐strand incisions to separate the two
covalently attached strands of DNA. It is unclear how these incisions are generated. DNA …

Constitutive exocytosis delivers newly synthesized proteins, lipids, and other molecules from
the Golgi apparatus to the cell surface. This process is mediated by vesicles, which bud off …

Objective. The aims of this study were to describe the clinical presentation of primary SS (pSS)
in a large cohort of patients by assessing the prevalence of the patient subgroups at high …

This work focuses on the influence of processing conditions on the nanocomposites
structure, ie intercalated or exfoliated, and on the enhancement of mechanical properties of …
