Keeping inflammation at bay
Cells dying by apoptosis can trigger an anti-inflammatory gene response in other cells by releasing a compound called adenosine monophosphate.
متن کاملHandling time varying confounding in observational research.
Many exposures of epidemiological interest are time varying, and the values of potential confounders may change over time leading to time varying confounding. The aim of many longitudinal studies is to estimate the causal effect of a time varying exposure on an outcome that requires adjusting for time varying confounding. Time varying confounding affected by previous exposure often occurs in pr...
متن کاملImmunology: Keeping mother at bay
Like its better-known polymorphic relatives, HLA-G, a relatively unpolymorphic class I MHC molecule expressed by fostal trophoblast cells, binds short peptides with a defined sequence motif; HLA-G may play an important role in maternal tolerance to a fostus.
متن کاملLupus nephritis: keeping the wolf at bay.
From the beginning part of this century, we have witnessed a dramatic improvement in the prognosis of patients with SLE. Several factors have contributed to this improvement, such as a better understanding of the pathophysiology, recognizing the essential role of the kidney biopsy in defining and prognosticating lupus nephritis (LN), and the development of relatively effective treatment for sev...
متن کاملFINITE-TIME PASSIVITY OF DISCRETE-TIME T-S FUZZY NEURAL NETWORKS WITH TIME-VARYING DELAYS
This paper focuses on the problem of finite-time boundedness and finite-time passivity of discrete-time T-S fuzzy neural networks with time-varying delays. A suitable Lyapunov--Krasovskii functional(LKF) is established to derive sufficient condition for finite-time passivity of discrete-time T-S fuzzy neural networks. The dynamical system is transformed into a T-S fuzzy model with uncertain par...
