All subjects have accepted the 24-hour IOP measurement regime upon being briefed on the study’s benefits and before signing their consent form. The inclusion criteria were absence of ocular diseases (other than
Further, macrophage derived CXCL9 and CXL10 are required for infiltration of T-cells in to tumors. These studies suggest that macrophages, by producing these cytokines, may play a crucial role in neutrophil recruitment and in shifting the Th17/Treg balance in IMC progression. These studies ...
There are two major pathways for Proto IX transformation: synthesis of heme catalyzed by Fe-chelatase (FECH) or synthesis of Mg-protoporphyrin IX (Mg-Proto IX) catalyzed by Mg-chelatase (MGCH). In the Chl synthetic branch, Mg-Proto IX can be further catalyzed to form Mg-protoporphyrin IX...
Plant residue microbial decomposition (PRMD) is the pivotal driving force of the largest terrestrial soil organic carbon pool [1,2]. Fungi and bacteria are the major participants in this decomposition process [3]. Therefore, understanding their roles and interactions in PRMD under natural conditions ...
In a chronically-inflamed environment, ectopic germinal centers form within affected (often non-lymphoid) tissues. CXCL13 over-expression by FDC in these germinal centers is accompanied by dysregulation of interactions among FDCs, B cells and follicular Th cells [15] and reduced elimination of auto...

following DNA damage and could be released by cancer cells to involve NKp30 to activate NK cells [136]. Exosome-release BAT3 could promote the crosstalk between NK cells and dendritic cells, while plasma-soluble BAT3 suppresses NK cell activation by competing with an exosomal form of BAT3 [...
Fig pollinating wasps form obligate symbioses with their fig hosts. This mutualism arose approximately 75 million years ago. Unlike many other intimate symbioses, which involve vertical transmission of symbionts to host offspring, female fig wasps fly great distances to transfer horizontally between hosts...
Drawing upon insights from scholarship on networked power, weaponized interdependence, and traditional (military) security assistance, I theorize that donors perceive capacity assistance for digital development as a form of competitive strategic alignment. Specifically, I argue that state-based donors may ...
