This analysis of the processes concerned in heat loss from the body extends and confirms the data reported recently by WINSLOW, HERRINGTON and GAGGE [see this Bulletin, 1938, v. 13, 21].The heat loss by radiation, convection and vaporization, the rectal and skin temperatures and the heat pr...

Febrile temperatures boost the probability of an effective immune response by stimulating both the innate and the adaptive arms of the immune system. The pyrogenic cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) contributes to two phases of the febrile response: it elevates the core body temperature via thermoregulat...
Telomerase is a ribonucleoprotein complex, the catalytic core of which includes the telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) and the non-coding human telomerase RNA (hTR), which serves as a template for the addition of telomeric repeats to chromosome ends. Telomerase expression is restricted in humans...
The regulator then causes evaporative heat loss, heat production by shivering or changes in the peripheral blood flow to occur in the appropriate locations in the body. If a proposed mechanism of thermoregulation is expressed in quantitative form it describes the relationships between the input ...

Oxidation Resistance 1 (OXR1) gene is a highly conserved gene of the TLDc domain-containing family. OXR1 is involved in fundamental biological and cellular processes, including DNA damage response, antioxidant pathways, cell cycle, neuronal protection, a

Neuroimmunology is one of the fastest-growing fields in the life sciences, and for good reason; it fills the gap between two principal systems of the organism, the nervous system and the immune system. Although both systems affect each other through bidi
The relationship between chromatin organization and gene regulation remains unclear. While disruption of chromatin domains and domain boundaries can lead to misexpression of developmental genes, acute depletion of regulators of genome organization has a
