the search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame

this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...

hypergranulation in excision wounds – differential roles for wound bed derived IL-1α and TNF-α

In this study it was determined i) whether an autologous skin substitute (SS) which heals chronic wounds could heal excision wounds, and ii) whether soluble proteins present in chronic and excision wound exudates might influence the potency of the SS and in turn the final outcome of wound healing. For clinical applications, SS were applied to tumor excision wounds. For mechanistic studies, SS c...

The roles of IL-2, IL-7, and IL15 Ligands in B Cells development

Abstract Background B cells play an important role in the immune system due to production of the immunoglobulin and secreting several cytokines. It has been shown that B cells produced successfully in the presence of stem cell factor (SCF) and Flt3 ligand (Flt3L). IL2, IL7, and IL15 cytokines as -common family have an essential cytokines may support either synergistically or in an additive m...

Cytokines (IL-17, IL-23, and IL-33) in Systemic lupus erythematosus in Trinidad and Tobago.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the most common autoimmune disease. It is characterized by the presence of hundreds of autoantibodies against many organs and tissues, including the presence of a large number of autoantibodies, which are specific to self-antigens mainly of nuclear origin such as Smith antigen, double-stranded DNA (dsDNA), anti-Sjögren’s syndrome-related antigen A and B (SS...
