A Lesson of Three Bs

Angiogenesis and its regulation is a crucial physiological response to chronic tissue ischemia causing increased microvessel growth along with collateral arteriolar remodeling to restore blood flow to deprived tissues.1 Vascular occlusion, as seen in coronary and peripheral artery disease, often progresses to chronic tissue ischemia without effective vascular remodeling responses.2 Thus, therap...

Beets, bacteria, and blood flow: a lesson of three Bs.

Angiogenesis and its regulation is a crucial physiological response to chronic tissue ischemia causing increased microvessel growth along with collateral arteriolar remodeling to restore blood flow to deprived tissues.1 Vascular occlusion, as seen in coronary and peripheral artery disease, often progresses to chronic tissue ischemia without effective vascular remodeling responses.2 Thus, therap...

Bs−Bs mixing with a chiral light quark action

We study the B 0 s − B 0 s mixing amplitude in Standard Model by computing the relevant hadronic matrix element in the static limit of lattice HQET with the Neuberger light quark action. In the quenched approximation, and after matching to the MS scheme in QCD, we obtain B MS B s (m b) = 0.940(16)(22). c Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCom...

Dont Breathe and Drive? Pollutants Lurk inside Vehicles

The ability of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) to develop high levels of genetic diversity, and thereby acquire mutations to escape immune pressures, contributes to the difficulties in producing a vaccine. Possibly no single HIV-1 sequence can induce sufficiently broad immunity to protect against a wide variety of infectious strains, or block mutational escape pathways available to ...
