The mechanism of gastric acid reduction following vagotomy is still unclear: does this reduction result from a decrease in parietal cell mass, or is the reduction just functional? In an attempt to settle the question, we used a litter of puppies, in which rapid multiplication of parietal cells...
anti-Hu AE – the most common paraneoplastic AE with a reported incidence of 0.4/million person-years [4] – is associated with tumors in 75–80% of cases (mainly small cell lung carcinoma, SCLC) [14,15]. On the other hand, Group II AE are more...
As caudal autotomy is primarily an anti-predation strategy, it is unlikely that caudal regeneration would have any benefit to the individual in pre-natal life [105]. When born, however, juvenile lizards generally rely more heavily on caudal autotomy than adults due to their increased risk of ...
For example, in a study by Bou et al., exploring the causes of leptomeningeal enhancement (LME), anti-MOG antibody associated demyelination (MOGAD) comprised 5% of the cases; which has significantly different clinical course than the commonly encountered infectious meningitis [3]. Consequently, a...

SERT is negatively regulated by activation of tool-like receptors and several pro-inflammatory cytokines. On the contrary, other anti-inflammatory cytokines, such as IL-10, increase transporter activity. Treatment with specific SERT inhibitors leads to an increase of free 5-HT content, thus ...
