NK cells have a half-life of only around 15 days in peripheral blood, whereas the half-life of T cells is 30–160 days with T cell memory persisting for 8–15 years [29]. Although some form of NK memory is now thought to exist, the adaptive immune response is more important in ...
Each new emerging code was associated with previous codes to form themes that were “defined from the raw data without any predetermined classification” [62]. The research team then discussed their independent findings, adopting ‘negotiated consensual validation’ [55] to finalise the list of ...
Gene fusion refers to a sequence in which some or all of the sequences of two genes are fused through some mechanism (such as genome variation) to form a new gene [50, 51]. A fusion gene can induce the production of SEs, thereby driving the transcription of oncogenes. Benbarche et a...

More and more patients receive various types of implants, such as catheters, valves, hips, that are all suitable substrates for these fungal cells to attach to and to form a biofilm. The extracellular matrix produced by biofilm cells is known to sequester antifungal drugs resulting in tolerance...

In Corsica, at least three generations in one year have been observed [37], the annual number of generations depending on local climatic conditions [38, 39]. In Corsica, An. labranchiae hibernates in the adult form [13]. According to Sautet [39], diapause is not systematic and ...
Moreover, cells expressing CENP-A methylation mutants form larger colonies when tested by colony formation assay and form tumours faster in mouse xenografts, suggesting the phenotypes associated with unmethylated CENP-A provide a survival advantage for p53 deficient cancer cells. In summary, we have ...
They are an ideal means for the rapid exploration of transcriptomes, especially those of species with large genome sizes. ESTs can also form a very solid basis for evolutionary studies. The genetic information obtained from this EST initiative will be of enormous value for identifying and ...
PROMIS Physical Function questionnaire (Short Form 10a) is a 10-item survey. Converted scores range from 13.5–61.9, with higher values indicating greater capability to perform physical activities [22]. Demographic information (age, sex, ethnicity, site), type of procedure, date of procedure, ...
