The Complement System of Agnathans
Frontiers in Immunology, 2018 Agnathans (lamprey and hagfish) are a group of primitive jawless fish. Jawed vertebrates possess adaptive immunity including immunoglobulins, while agnathans lack immunoglobulins but have alternative adaptive immunity in which variable lymphocyte ...

Isolation and characterization of novel primary cells from the human distal outflow pathway
Scientific Reports, 2021 Ocular hypertension occurs due to increased resistance to aqueous humor removal through the conventional outflow pathway. Unlike the proximal region of the conventional outflow pathway, the distal region has not been well studied, mostly due to lack of ...

Research advances on plant lectin receptor-like kinases in abiotic stress response
Guangxi Zhiwu, 2023 Plants are exposed to various stress during their growth and development, and abiotic stress is one of the most significant factors. Receptor-like kinases (RLKs) are widely present in plants that can quickly and effectively respond to stress, ultimately ...
