DR.SC employs a two-layer hierarchical model that simultaneously performs dimension reduction and spatial clustering, optimizing the extraction of low-dimensional features as well as the identification of spatial clusters. The BANSKY algorithm clusters cells using an azimuthal Gabor filter (AGF)-inspired...
The proteins selected for fusions with CBD were highly reengineered, or ‘artificial’ (= not existing in Nature), which carried condensed functionalisation in the form of concatemers. These were composed of repetitive, bioactive epitopes, oriented in organised head-to-tail fashion, expressed ...
We exposed retinal explants to Treg secretome in the presence or absence of a pro-inflammatory stimulus in the form of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and investigated cone survival by staining for CA. LPS is a widely used pro-inflammatory activator of microglia and macrophages [33], which at least ...

Genetically susceptible individuals form anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) as part of a loss of tolerance to citrullinated and other posttranslationally modified proteins. As inflammation increases secondary to the loss of tolerance, the levels of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis ...
Inhalation of these particles are associated with the promotion of inflammatory processes and oxidative stress [20, 21]. Immunopathology of SLE comprises the production of autoantibodies, mainly against nuclear antigens, that form immune complexes (IC). These IC deposit in tissues and vessels ...
Thinning, even at this late age, appears to have had adversely affected tree form with greater taper exhibited on the thinned plots, particularly plots B and D (Table 2), consistent with the findings of Weiskittel et al. (2006). Taper also adversely affected tree stiffness (Figure 5 and ...

When element A is Fe or Cr, the system has a lower energy, and phases containing these two elements are relatively easier to form. When element A is Al, Cu or Ni, the system has a slightly higher energy, and the formation of phases containing these three elements requires more external ...
