American Journal of Public Health and the Nations Health, 1928 in 1924 covered this field and offer a succinlct and critical summary of our present knowledge of the gene and the part it plays in the permutations and changes in the characters of individuals in successive generations. The book opens with a presentation of Mendel's laws of segregation and dominance, followed by concise definitions of linkage ...

Dendritic cells steering antigen and leukocyte traffic in lymph nodes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Dendritic cells are key players in the activation of T cells and their commitment to effector function. In this In a Nutshell Review, we will discuss how dendritic cells guide the trafficking of antigen and leukocytes in the lymph node, thus influencing T‐cell activation processes. Dendritic cells (DCs) play a central role in initiating and shaping the

Automatic Estimation of Anthropometric Human Body Measurements [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Research tasks related to human body analysis have been drawing a lot of attention in computer vision area over the last few decades, considering its potential benefits on our day-to-day life. Anthropometry is a field defining physical measures of a human body size, form, and functional capacities.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In vivo IL‐10 produced by tissue‐resident tolDC is involved in maintaining/inducing tolerance. Depending on the agent used for ex vivo tolDC generation, cells acquire common features but prime T cells towards anergy, FOXP3+ Tregs, or Tr1 cells according to the levels of IL‐10 produced. Ex vivo‐induced tolDC were administered to patients to re‐establish/

Exercise in a metabolic chamber - Effects of exercise on 24 h fat oxidation
Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2012 Indirect calorimetry with a room-size respiratory chamber provides an ideal setting to monitor energy metabolism for a prolonged period. During the last 10 years, experiments with this method have raised interesting observations such as: 1) exercise ...

The aging human body shape [PDF]
npj Aging and Mechanisms of Disease, 2020 AbstractBody shape and composition are heterogeneous among humans with possible impact for health. Anthropometric methods and data are needed to better describe the diversity of the human body in human populations, its age dependence, and associations with health risk.

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects nearly one‐third of the global population and poses a significant risk of progression to cirrhosis or liver cancer. Here, we discuss the roles of hepatic dendritic cell subtypes in MASLD, highlighting their distinct contributions to disease initiation and progression, and their ...

BodyPressure -- Inferring Body Pose and Contact Pressure from a Depth Image [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Contact pressure between the human body and its surroundings has important implications. For example, it plays a role in comfort, safety, posture, and health. We present a method that infers contact pressure between a human body and a mattress from a depth image.

Taurine promotes glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion in enteroendocrine L cells
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Taurine, a sulfur‐containing amino acid, is likely taken up by enteroendocrine L cells via the taurine transporter. This process increases the levels of cytosolic ATP. The increase in intracellular Ca2+ concentrations and glucagon‐like peptide‐1 secretion through membrane depolarization is caused by the closure of ATP‐sensitive potassium channels ...
