HLA-DQB1*0301 IN BULLOUS PEMPHIGOID AND PEMPHIGUS VULGARIS: A META-ANALYSIS


Involvement of the metabolic hormones leptin, ghrelin, obestatin, IGF-I and of MAP kinase in control of porcine oocyte maturation

The general aim of our in vitro experiments was to study the role of the metabolic hormones leptin, ghrelin, obestatin and IGF-I and mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-dependent intracellular mechanisms in the control of nuclear maturation of porcine oocytes.For this purpose, porcine oocytes were isolated from the ovary and cultured in the pre

Human Plasmablast Migration Toward CXCL12 Requires Glucose Oxidation by Enhanced Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Activity via AKT

Migration of human plasmablast to the bone marrow is essential for the final differentiation of plasma cells and maintenance of effective humoral immunity.This migration is controlled by CXCL12/CXCR4-mediated activation of the protein kinase AKT.Herein, we show that the CXCL12-induced migration of human plasmablasts is dependent on glucose oxidatio

On the interaction between the island divertor heat fluxes, the scrape-off layer radial electric field and the edge turbulence in Wendelstein 7-X plasmas

The formation of the radial electric field, $E_ extrm{r}$ in the scrape-off layer (SOL) has been experimentally studied for Bass Amp attached divertor conditions in stellarator W7-X.The main objective of this study is to test the validity in a complex three-dimensional (3D) island divertor of simple models, typically developed in tokamaks, relating
