Regimes of heating and dynamical response in driven many-body localized systems [PDF]

, 2016
We explore the response of many-body localized (MBL) systems to periodic driving of arbitrary amplitude, focusing on the rate at which they exchange energy with the drive. To this end, we introduce an infinite-temperature generalization of the effective "

Genetically Determined MBL Deficiency Is Associated with Protection against Chronic Cardiomyopathy in Chagas Disease

PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2016
Chagas disease (CD) is caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, whose sugar moieties are recognized by mannan binding lectin (MBL), a soluble pattern-recognition molecule that activates the lectin pathway of complement.

Constructing local integrals of motion in the many-body localized phase

, 2014
Many-body localization provides a generic mechanism of ergodicity breaking in quantum systems. In contrast to conventional ergodic systems, many-body localized (MBL) systems are characterized by extensively many local integrals of motion (LIOM), which ...

Engineering novel complement activity into a pulmonary surfactant protein [PDF]

, 2010
Complement neutralizes invading pathogens, stimulates inflammatory and adaptive immune responses, and targets non- or altered-self structures for clearance.

Impact of MBL and MASP-2 gene polymorphism and its interaction on susceptibility to tuberculosis

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2015
BackgroundMannose-binding lectin (MBL) and MBL-associated serine proteases 2 (MASP-2) are important proteins in the lectin pathway of the immune system. Polymorphism of MBL and MASP-2 genes may affect the serum concentration of MBL and MASP-2. This study

CD91 interacts with mannan‐binding lectin (MBL) through the MBL‐associated serine protease‐binding site [PDF]

The FEBS Journal, 2010
CD91 plays an important role in the scavenging of apoptotic material, possibly through binding to soluble pattern‐recognition molecules. In this study, we investigated the interaction of CD91 with mannan‐binding lectin (MBL), ficolins and lung surfactant proteins. Both MBL and L‐ficolin were found to bind CD91.

Risk of Non-hematologic Cancer in Individuals with High Count Monoclonal B-Cell Lymphocytosis (MBL)

Leukemia, 2015
It is unknown whether individuals with monoclonal B-cell lymphocytosis (MBL) are at risk for adverse outcomes associated with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), such as the risk of non-hematologic cancer.

MBL2 Genotypes and Their Associations with MBL Levels and NICU Morbidity in a Cohort of Greek Neonates

Journal of Immunological Research, 2015
The objective of this study was to assess the frequency of MBL2 genotypes and their associations with MBL levels and various morbidities of a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).

Mannose binding lectin is required for alphavirus-induced arthritis/myositis [PDF]

, 2015
Mosquito-borne alphaviruses such as chikungunya virus and Ross River virus (RRV) are emerging pathogens capable of causing large-scale epidemics of virus-induced arthritis and myositis.

Mannose-Binding Lectin (MBL) and MBL-associated serine protease-2 (MASP-2) in women with malignant and benign ovarian tumours

Cancer Immunology and Immunotherapy, 2014
Mannose-Binding Lectin (MBL) is a serum pattern recognition molecule, able to activate complement in association with MASP proteases. Serum levels of MBL and MASP-2, activities of MBL–MASP complexes, single nucleotide polymorphisms of the MBL2 and MASP2 ...
