B cell receptor (BCR) signaling plays a fundamental role in B cell development, activation, and antibody responses. The BCR consists of a membrane immunoglobulin (mIg), the antigen recognition subunit ...
In summary, these findings show evidence of IFN activation in BM PC from SLE. ANA are found in lupus bone marrow. SLE BM PC express a type I IFN gene signature. BM PC subset distribution was similar ...
As noted above, stellate cell activation is the central event in hepatic fibrosis. Activation consists of 2 major phases: (1) initiation (also called apreinflammatory stage) and (2) perpetuation ...
This important study provides solid evidence to support the anti-tumor potential of citalopram, originally an anti-depression drug, in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In addition to their previous ...
Background Increased expression of B cell activating factor (BAFF or B lymphocyte stimulator) may explain the B cell activation characteristic of primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS). Objectives To ...
