B cells in rheumatoid synovitis.
(Arthritis Res Ther, 2005)In rheumatoid arthritis, T cells, B cells, macrophages, and dendritic cells invade the synovial membranes, establishing complex microstructures that promote inflammatory/tissue destructive lesions. B cell involvement has ... -
B-cell targeting in chronic Graft-versus-Host disease.
(Blood, 2018-02-01)Over the last decade our understanding of the pathophysiology of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) has improved considerably. In this spotlight, we discuss emerging insights into the pathophysiology of cGVHD with ... -
B-Cyclin/CDKs regulate mitotic spindle assembly by phosphorylating kinesins-5 in budding yeast
(PLoS Genetics, 2010-05-01)Although it has been known for many years that B-cyclin/CDK complexes regulate the assembly of the mitotic spindle and entry into mitosis, the full complement of relevant CDK targets has not been identified. It has previously ... -
B. F. Skinner: Mistaken – or Misunderstood?
(2013-07-02)The chief offense of “political correctness” is its unreflective certainty – about which causes to hail or demonize and about the necessity to take sides on every issue. Science has no room for such dogmatism, of course. ... -
B10 Cell Frequencies and Suppressive Capacity in Myasthenia Gravis Are Associated with Disease Severity.
(Front Neurol, 2017)Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a T cell-dependent, B cell-mediated disease. The mechanisms for loss of self-tolerance in this disease are not well understood, and recently described regulatory B cell (Breg) subsets have not been ... -
B7-H3-redirected chimeric antigen receptor T cells target glioblastoma and neurospheres.
(EBioMedicine, 2019-09)<h4>Background</h4>The dismal survival of glioblastoma (GBM) patients urgently calls for the development of new treatments. Chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells are an attractive strategy, but preclinical and clinical ... -
Baby on board: olfactory cues indicate pregnancy and fetal sex in a non-human primate.
(Biol Lett, 2015-02)Olfactory cues play an integral, albeit underappreciated, role in mediating vertebrate social and reproductive behaviour. These cues fluctuate with the signaller's hormonal condition, coincident with and informative about ... -
Baby's First Years: Design of a Randomized Controlled Trial of Poverty Reduction in the United States.
(Pediatrics, 2021-09-02)Childhood economic disadvantage is associated with lower cognitive and social-emotional skills, reduced educational attainment, and lower earnings in adulthood. Despite these robust correlations, it is unclear whether family ... -
Bacteremia in solid organ transplant recipients as compared to immunocompetent patients: Acute phase cytokines and outcomes in a prospective, matched cohort study.
(American journal of transplantation : official journal of the American Society of Transplantation and the American Society of Transplant Surgeons, 2021-06)We undertook a prospective, matched cohort study of patients with Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) and gram-negative bacteremia (GNB) to compare the characteristics, outcomes, and chemokine and cytokine response in ... -
Bacteremic disseminated tuberculosis in sub-saharan Africa: a prospective cohort study.
(Clin Infect Dis, 2012-07)BACKGROUND: Disseminated tuberculosis is a major health problem in countries where generalized human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection epidemics coincide with high tuberculosis incidence rates; data are limited on patient ... -
Bacteria localization and chorion thinning among preterm premature rupture of membranes.
(PLoS One, 2014)OBJECTIVE: Bacterial colonization of the fetal membranes and its role in pathogenesis of membrane rupture is poorly understood. Prior retrospective work revealed chorion layer thinning in preterm premature rupture of membranes ... -
Bacterial effector activates jasmonate signaling by directly targeting JAZ transcriptional repressors.
(PLoS pathogens, 2013-10-31)Gram-negative bacterial pathogens deliver a variety of virulence proteins through the type III secretion system (T3SS) directly into the host cytoplasm. These type III secreted effectors (T3SEs) play an essential role in ... -
Bacterial vaginosis as a risk factor for high-grade cervical lesions and cancer in HIV-seropositive women.
(Int J Gynaecol Obstet, 2011-09)OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of bacterial vaginosis (BV) on the risk of high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) among HIV-seropositive women. METHODS: A hospital-based prospective cohort study of HIV-seropositive ... -
Bacteriohopanepolyols in tropical soils and sediments from the Congo River catchment area
(Organic Geochemistry, 2015-12-01)© 2015 Published by Elsevier Ltd. The Congo River basin drains the second largest area of tropical rainforest in the world, including a large proportion of pristine wetlands. We present the bacteriohopanepolyol (BHP) inventory ... -
Bagging and the Bayesian Bootstrap
(Artificial Intelligence and Statistics, 2001)Bagging is a method of obtaining more ro- bust predictions when the model class under consideration is unstable with respect to the data, i.e., small changes in the data can cause the predicted values to change significantly. ... -

Ballistic Graphene Josephson Junctions from the Short to the Long Junction Regimes.
(Physical review letters, 2016-12-02)We investigate the critical current I_{C} of ballistic Josephson junctions made of encapsulated graphene-boron-nitride heterostructures. We observe a crossover from the short to the long junction regimes as the length of ...
