To identify new components that regulate the inflammatory cascade during sepsis, we
characterized the functions of myeloid-related protein-8 (Mrp8, S100A8) and myeloid-related …

S100A8 and S100A9 are novel members of the group of damage–associated molecular
pattern molecules (DAMP) which are early amplifiers of innate immune responses to tissue …

Transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) offers a survival benefit to patients with
intermediate hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A widely accepted TACE regimen includes …

The utility of the back-propagation method in establishing suitable weights in a distributed
adaptive network has been demonstrated repeatedly. Unfortunately, in many applications, the …

Objectives : The Transplantation of Progenitor Cells And Regeneration Enhancement in
Acute Myocardial Infarction (TOPCARE-AMI) trial investigates both safety, feasibility, and …

Image-guided tumor ablation has become a well-established hallmark of local cancer
therapy. The breadth of options available in this growing field increases the need for …

Damage-associated molecular pattern (DAMP) molecules have been introduced as important
proinflammatory factors of innate immunity. One example known for many years to be …

Accumulation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) associated with inhibition of
dendritic cell (DC) differentiation is one of the major immunological abnormalities in cancer and …

This paper reviews the evidence on the well-known positive association between
socioeconomic status and health. We focus on four dimensions of socioeconomic status--education, …

A growing literature documents the links between long-term outcomes and health in the fetal
