Class-switched anti-insulin antibodies originate from unconventional antigen presentation in multiple lymphoid sites [PDF]

, 2016
Autoantibodies to insulin are a harbinger of autoimmunity in type 1 diabetes in humans and in non-obese diabetic mice. To understand the genesis of these autoantibodies, we investigated the interactions of insulin-specific T and B lymphocytes using T ...

Roadway Crash Trend Analysis with Innovative Trend Analysis and Mann-Kendall Test

, 2022
Following the national goal of crash reduction, the state of Louisiana set an ambitious goal of ‘Destination Zero Deaths’ (DZD), aiming to halve the number of fatalities and severe injuries by 2030. The goal of this study is to detect and quantify fatal and severe injury (FSI) trends in several DZD focus areas, including young drivers, alcohol ...

Vegetation on the move: elevational shifts and greening dynamics across the Himalayan alpine zone

Ecography, EarlyView.
This study investigates alpine ‘vegetation line' (the upper limit of continuous plant community) dynamics in the Himalayan alpine zone (HAZ) over a 24‐year timescale (1999–2022) using maximum NDVI products derived from Landsat series datasets, adjusted for sampling bias using phenological modelling.

Gene signatures characterizing driver mutations in lung squamous carcinoma are predictive of the progression of pre‐cancer lesions

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
What's New? Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is more aggressive than lung adenocarcinoma, and is most often diagnosed at an advanced stage. Here, the authors evaluated gene expression data from LUSC tumors and came up with gene signatures for 34 genetic abnormalities whose expression changes throughout different precancerous stages. Several of these
