Complement activation and protein adsorption by carbon nanotubes [PDF]
, 2006 As a first step to validate the use of carbon nanotubes as novel vaccine or drug delivery devices, their interaction with a part of the human immune system, complement, has been explored.

Biomedicines, 2022 The complement system plays a key role in myasthenia gravis (MG). Anti-complement drugs are emerging as effective therapies to treat anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibody-positive MG patients, though their usage is still limited by the high costs ...

Layer-averaged Euler and Navier-Stokes equations [PDF]
, 2016 In this paper we propose a strategy to approximate incompressible hydrostatic free surface Euler and Navier-Stokes models. The main advantage of the proposed models is that the water depth is a dynamical variable of the system and hence the model is ...

On the pathwise approximation of stochastic differential equations [PDF]
, 2015 We consider one-step methods for integrating stochastic differential equations and prove pathwise convergence using ideas from rough path theory. In contrast to alternative theories of pathwise convergence, no knowledge is required of convergence in pth ...

Human Tamm-Horsfall protein, a renal specific protein, serves as a cofactor in complement 3b degradation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP) is an abundant urinary protein of renal origin. We hypothesize that THP can act as an inhibitor of complement since THP binds complement 1q (C1q) of the classical complement pathway, inhibits activation of this pathway, and is

Lower Bound on Entanglement of Formation for the Qubit-Qudit System [PDF]
, 2003 Wootters [PRL 80, 2245 (1998)] has derived a closed formula for the entanglement of formation (EOF) of an arbitrary mixed state in a system of two qubits. There is no known closed form expression for the EOF of an arbitrary mixed state in any system more

Wien Oscillator Using Organic Enzyme‐Chemiresistors for Fused Measurement of Glucose and Lactate
Advanced Intelligent Systems, 2020 Total body sensor networks for physiological (diagnostic biosensors) and biomechanical (force and motion) systems require data fusion through several algorithms. A novel, device‐level method of sensor data fusion is presented.

Quantitative detection of red blood cell antibody-mediated complement activation
Zhongguo shuxue zazhi, 2022 Objective To construct an in-vitro model of erythrocyte antibody-mediated complement activation, and establish quantitative detection methods based on flow cytometry and spectrophotometry, so as to explore the correlation of anti-body titers and ...
