Immunosuppression may contribute to the progression of cancer. In this study we assessed
the structural and functional status of T cells from tumor specimens obtained from patients …

Defining the functional relationships between proteins is critical for understanding virtually
all aspects of cell biology. Large-scale identification of protein complexes has provided one …

We have administered a recombinant adenovirus vector (AdCFTR) containing the normal
human CFTR cDNA to the nasal and bronchial epithelium of four individuals with cystic fibrosis …

Active suppression by T regulatory cells plays an important role in the down-regulation of T
cell responses to foreign and self-Ags. Thus far, the potential role of CD4+ CD25+ T cells in …

In this paper we consider the quantization of open strings ending on D-branes with a
background B field. We find that space-time coordinates of the open string end-points become …

Aim Depression and frailty are prevalent and burdensome in older age. However, the
relationships between these entities are unclear and no quantitative meta- analysis exists. We …

Variable in–frame skipping of exon 9 in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator
(CFTR) mRNA transcripts (exon 9 − ) occurs in the respiratory epithelium. To explore the …

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is caused by mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator
(CFTR) gene but the association between mutation (genotype) and disease presentation (…

Objective: Epicardial and abdominal adipose tissues have recently been demonstrated to
play inflammatory roles in coronary atherosclerosis. We sought to compare tissue …

A finite element analysis was carried out to study the roles of posts in reducing dentin stress
in pulpless teeth. Two-dimensional plane strain models of the midlabiolingual section of a …
