متن کاملTCR/pMHC Interaction: Phenotypic Model for an Unsolved Enigma
TCR-pMHC interaction is the keystone of the adaptive immune response. This process exhibits an impressive capacity of speed, sensitivity, and discrimination that allows detecting foreign pMHCs at very low concentration among much more abundant self-pMHC ligands. However, and despite over three decades of intensive research, the mechanisms by which this remarkable discrimination and sensitivity ...
متن کاملCardiorenal Syndrome: An Unsolved Clinical Problem
The clinical relevance of the bidirectional cross-talk between heart and kidney is increasingly recognized. However, the optimal approach to the management of kidney dysfunction in heart failure remains unclear. The purpose of this article is to outline the most plausible pathophysiologic theories that attempt to explain the renal impairment in acute and chronic heart failure, and to review the...
متن کاملUnsolved Enigma of Atrial Myxoma with Biventricular Dysfunction
Coexisting coronary atherosclerosis and coronary embolization of tumor fragments causing myocardial ischemia are well‐known reasons for ventricular dysfunction in patients with left atrial myxoma. The incidence of coronary artery disease in patients with myxoma is between 20.3% and 36.6%.[2,3] Other proposed explanations for the left ventricular dysfunction in such patients were hypercoagulabil...
