Vibrionaceae are a common bacterial disease that affects both wild and farmed marine fishes and causes tremendous economic losses globally.In order to investigate the prevalence, molecular typing, antibiogram and pathogenicity of vibriosis among cultured sea bream, two hundred and fifty Gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata) were collected randomly from
Innate-like control of human iNKT cell autoreactivity via the hypervariable CDR3beta loop.
Invariant Natural Killer T cells (iNKT) are a versatile lymphocyte subset with important roles in both host defense and immunological tolerance.They express a highly conserved TCR which Resistance Bands mediates recognition of the non-polymorphic, lipid-binding molecule CD1d.The structure of human iNKT TCRs is unique in that only one of the six com
Microenvironment changes in arteriovenous malformations after stereotactic radiation
Cerebral arteriovenous malformations are dysplastic vascular tangles with aberrant vascular dynamics and can result significant morbidity and mortality.A myriad of challenges are encountered when treating these lesions and are largely based on nidal size, location, and prior hemorrhage.Currently, stereotactic radiosurgery is an accepted Basketball
Fatal Pulmonary Embolism in the Setting of Immune Reconstitution Inflammatory Syndrome Attributed to Ovarian Tuberculosis
