Background Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in ANCA-associated vasculitis
(AAV). An expansion of CD4 + CD28 null T cells is seen mainly in cytomegalovirus (CMV)…

FcγRIIb is the sole inhibitory FcR for IgG in humans and mice, where it is involved in the
negative regulation of Ab production and cellular activation. FcγRIIb-deficient mice show …

Ultrasonic backscatter techniques are being developed to detect changes in bone caused by
osteoporosis. The present study introduces a new technique that measures the exponential …

Objective. Age is a risk factor for organ damage, adverse events, and mortality in microscopic
polyangiitis (MPA) and granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA). However, the relationship …

Fcgamma receptor 2b (Fcgr2b) is the only inhibitory Fcgamma receptor in both humans and
mice, and is implicated in both antibody production and effector responses to antibody …

Fas ligand is a well-known inducer of apoptosis in cells expressing its receptor Fas; it also
prevents autoimmunity by inducing apoptosis of activated T cells. However, Fas ligand also …

Introduction Synthetic cannabinoids (SC), designed to mimic delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol,
the natural component of cannabis, have seen a rapid increase in popularity since 2008. …

We propose a high-statistics measurement of few body nuclear structure and short range
correlations in quasi-elastic scattering at 6.6 GeV from 2H, 3He and 3H targets in Hall B with …

Synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists (SCRA) share minimal structural similarities to
tetrahydrocannabinol or themselves. Due to their heterogeneous structures and the rapid …

Proliferative glomerulonephritis (GN), seen in patients with Goodpasture’s disease or systemic
lupus erythematosus (SLE), is characterised by glomerular infiltration of macrophages …
