Laboratory measures and phenotype definitions Details of the blood collection procedures and the laboratory evaluation of LDL-C, HDL-C, TC, and TG are available online [32]. Serum LDL-C was calculated using the Friedewald equation [33]. Participants who did not fast, who fasted fewer than 9...
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neuro-inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS) with a typical onset in early adulthood [1]. Pathologically, MS is characterized by focal inflammatory and demyelinating lesions, caused by the infiltration of autoreactive immune cells across the brain micr...

As used herein, the term “coefficient of variance” and its abbreviations “COV” and “CV” are used as commonly understood in the art; COV values are typically reported as a percent. The COV is calculated by dividing the standard deviation (SD) of a set of experimental values by the ...
and the model-predicted probability of existence of each primary vector is smaller than the cut-off that yields the best predictive performance of the ecological model for that vector (represented by the Youden’s index). The counties meeting neither the “case” nor the “control” definitions ...
Traditional laboratory model organisms represent a small fraction of the diversity of multicellular life, and findings in any given experimental model often do not translate to other species. Immunology research in non-traditional model organisms can be
There are different definitions of the vascular BBB: they vary from just the brain microvascular endothelial cells (BMECs) with pericytes in the basement membrane (BM), astrocyte endfeet enwrapping the capillaries, and other cells signaling the formation of barrier features, but not themselves parti...
