Plants and microbes (mycorrhizal fungi to be precise) have evolved together over the past millions of years into an association that is mutualist. The plants supply the fungi with photosynthates and shelter, while the fungi reciprocate by enhancing ...

Nativity and Disease Susceptibility [PDF]
M,fORTALITY rates from diseases of advanced life in the United States are uniformly higher among the foreign born than among the native born. Furthermore, the mortality rates from these causes are much higher among the Irish and German born than among those born in Italy, Poland and the former Austro-Hungarian empire.

Homeostasis, Inflammation, and Disease Susceptibility [PDF]
While modernization has dramatically increased lifespan, it has also witnessed the increasing prevalence of diseases such as obesity, hypertension, and type 2 diabetes. Such chronic, acquired diseases result when normal physiologic control goes awry and may thus be viewed as failures of homeostasis.

Genetic susceptibility to cerebrovascular disease [PDF]
Cerebrovascular disease (CeVD) remains a major cause of death and a leading cause of disability worldwide. CeVD is a complex and multifactorial disease caused by the interaction of vascular risk factors, environment, and genetic factors. In the present article, we discussed genetic susceptibility to CeVD, with particular emphasis on genetic studies of ...

No association of CTLA-4 polymorphisms with susceptibility to Behcet disease [PDF]
Background: Cytotoxic T lymphocyte-associated antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is a key negative regulator of T lymphocytes and has been shown to be associated with a number of autoimmune diseases. The present study was performed to assess the association between CTLA-

Plant Disease Susceptibility Genes? [PDF]
A recent search of the ISI Web of Science identified 524 documents related to “plant disease resistance” and just 1 match for the phrase “plant disease susceptibility.” This does not mean that scientists are not engaged in the study of what makes plants susceptible to disease.

Genetic susceptibility loci for cardiovascular disease and their impact on atherosclerotic plaques [PDF]
Background: Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in part caused by lipid uptake in the vascular wall, but the exact underlying mechanisms leading to acute myocardial infarction and stroke remain poorly understood. Large consortia identified

Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies of asthma in ethnically diverse North American populations. [PDF]
Asthma is a common disease with a complex risk architecture including both genetic and environmental factors. We performed a meta-analysis of North American genome-wide association studies of asthma in 5,416 individuals with asthma (cases) including ...
