Abstract The Central Nervous System (CNS), comprising the brain and the eye, is considered to have a ‘privileged’ mechanism for dealing with immunological challenge (immune privilege, IP). CNS IP has been revealed through experiments using foreign protein antigens and cell and tissue alloantigens (grafts), but evidence for a role for IP in modulating ...

ABSTRACT Background Managing febrile neutropenia is challenging due to the limited sensitivity of blood culture (BC) and the lack of tools differentiating infectious from non‐infectious fever. T2 magnetic resonance (T2MR) is a culture‐independent system detecting bacteria (T2Bacteria) and yeasts (T2Candida); SeptiCyte RAPID is a host response assay ...

Soil sand content is a driving force in structuring bee communities
We conducted a carefully designed observational study across three soil sand content categories using Dalea purpurea that attracts a wide range of bee species and grows in different soil types. Soil sand content, not floral resource availability, affected patterns of bee distribution, and contrary to expectations, sandier sites did not host the highest
