Altered function and differentiation of age-associated B cells contribute to the female bias in lupus mice

Nature Communications, 2021
Autoimmunity mediated by age-associated B cells (ABC) can affect males and females differently. Here, using a lupus-like mouse model that affects females more severely, the authors observe an ABC mediated and guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF ...

Pathogenesis of autoimmune demyelination: from multiple sclerosis to neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody‐associated disease

Clinical & Translational Immunology, 2021
Autoimmunity plays a significant role in the pathogenesis of demyelination. Multiple sclerosis (MS), neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders (NMOSD) and myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody‐associated disease (MOGAD) are now recognised as ...

Therapeutic Apheresis in Nigeria: A Multi‐Center Summary of Abstracts From the Inaugural Nigerian Society for Apheresis Scientific Meeting

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Therapeutic apheresis (TA) is an established treatment modality for hematologic, neurologic, and immunologic disorders, yet access remains severely limited in sub‐Saharan Africa. Donor apheresis, including platelet apheresis collection from healthy donors, represents an important complementary modality supporting blood product ...

Mustache: multi-scale detection of chromatin loops from Hi-C and Micro-C maps using scale-space representation

Genome Biology, 2020
We present Mustache, a new method for multi-scale detection of chromatin loops from Hi-C and Micro-C contact maps. Mustache employs scale-space theory, a technical advance in computer vision, to detect blob-shaped objects in contact maps.
