CHRONIC IMMUNE ACTIVATION IN SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS AND THE AUTOIMMUNE PTPN22 TRP620 RISK ALLELE DRIVE THE EXPANSION OF FOXP3+ REGULATORY T CELLS AND PD-1 EXPRESSION

In systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), perturbed immunoregulation underpins a pathogenic imbalance between regulatory and effector CD4+ T-cell activity.However, to date, the characterization of the CD4+ regulatory T cell (Treg) compartment in SLE has yielded conflicting results.Here we show that patients have an increased frequency of CD4+FOXP3+ ce

Left Arm Herpes simplex viruses (HSVs) are neurotropic viruses with broad host range whose infections cause considerable health problems in both animals and humans.In fact, 67% of the global population under the age of 50 are infected with HSV-1 and 13% have clinically recurrent HSV-2 infections.The most prescribed antiherpetics are nucleoside anal

(1) Background: Members of the TRPC3/TRPC6/TRPC7 subfamily of canonical transient receptor potential (TRP) channels share an amino acid similarity of more than 80% and can form heteromeric channel complexes.They are directly gated by diacylglycerols in a protein kinase C-independent manner.To assess TRPC3 channel functions without concomitant prote

Sustainability of agricultural production in the world is in serious crisis.Interdependence Play Tent of agricultural production and the environment is multiple and causality works both ways.On one hand, there are environmental changes which hamper food production, and on the other, the agricultural production, as it is, is severely damaging the en
