shortage of water in arid and semiarid regions of the world can reduce growth and production of medicinal and aromatic plants, especially mentha species. in order to evaluate response of mint species to water deficit stress, an experiment was carried out using a completely factorial-randomized design with five replications at college of agriculturae, ferdowsi university of mashhad, iran. the fa...

Using three different Fc g receptor (Fc g R)-deficient mouse strains, we examined the induction of autoimmune hemolytic anemia by each of the four immunoglobulin (Ig)G isotype-switch variants of a 4C8 IgM antierythrocyte autoantibody and its relation to the contributions of the two Fc g R, Fc g RI, and Fc g RIII, operative in the phagocytosis of opsonized particles. We found that the four IgG i...

This study aimed to evaluate the survival rate of clear aligner attachment using different composite types. Twelve patients ranging from 15 25 years old participated in this research. Patients who met inclusion criteria were randomly assigned one two groups: packable composite, which contained attachments, or flowable included attachments. There was no statistical difference failures between gr...

Inositol and tyrosine phosphatases have been implicated in inhibitory signaling by an Fc receptor for immunoglobulin G, Fc RIIB, in B cells, mast cells, and monocytes. Here, we propose a role for the Src homology 2 (SH2)-containing tyrosine phosphatase-1 (SHP-1) in Fc RIIB-mediated inhibition of Fc R signaling. Coexpression of SHP-1 enhances Fc RIIB-mediated inhibition of Fc RIIA phagocytosis i...

PURPOSE Febrile convulsion (FC) and Tourette syndrome (TS) are both common neurological disorders in infants and children. Both disorders share clinical similarities, such as paroxysmal symptoms with normal neurodevelopment and expected remission over time. This population-based study investigated the association between FC with TS during childhood neurodevelopment. METHOD We used the Taiwan ...

Nanofibers containing ferrocene (Fc) have been prepared for the first time by electrospinning. In this paper, Fc was dispersed uniformly throughout the poly(vinypyrrolidone) (PVP) matrix for the purpose of combining the properties of PVP and Fc. The effects of solvents and Fc concentration on the morphologies and diameters of nanofibers were investigated. In the DMF/ethanol solvent, the morphol...

Macrophage proliferation can be stimulated by phagocytosis and by cross-linking of Fc receptors (Fc R). In this study, we investigated the role of Fc Rand the signaling cascades that link Fc R activation to cell cycle progression. This effect was mediated by the activating Fc R, including Fc RI and III, via their Fc subunit. Further investigation revealed that the cell cycle machinery was activ...

Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies and Fc-fusion proteins are successfully used in treatment of various diseases mainly including cancer, immune disease, and viral infection, which belong to the Fc-based therapeutics. In recent years, engineered Fc-derived antibody domains have also shown potential for Fc-based therapeutics. To increase the druggability of Fc-based therapeutic candidates, many e...

Due to the long serum half-life provided by the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) recycling, the IgG1 Fc has been pursued as the fusion partner to develop therapeutic Fc-fusion proteins, or as the antibody-derived scaffold that could be engineered with antigen-binding capabilities. In previous studies, we engineered the monomeric Fc by mutating critical residues located on the IgG1 Fc dimerization in...
