Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease defined by immune dysregulation, vasculopathy, and progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Despite advances in care, major complications such as interstitial lung disease (ILD) and myocardial involvement remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.

Molecular bases of pathogen avoidance behaviors and parasitic host manipulation
, 2020 Bacteria, viruses, fungi, worms and other parasites represent a major evolutionary force that shapes host behaviors. Hosts and parasites are tightly linked in a coevolutionary process, where the first evolve strategies helping them evade infection, and ...

General and specific avoidance: the development and concurrent validation of a new measure of avoidance coping [PDF]
, 2014 Research on coping has been hampered by psychometric shortcomings in coping scales, which have typically relied on items based on face-value, extracted too many factors or lacked the evidence for the obtained structure from confirmatory factor analysis ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Schematic illustration of LNP‐MPG nuclei‐targeting delivery of HMW‐FGF2 promoting histone acetylation to regulate the fate of DPSCs and treat spinal cord injury. LNPs components include pHMW‐FGF2 plasmid, DSPC, Dlin‐MC3‐DMA, cholesterol, and PEG2000, and are modified with MPG to form HMW‐FGF2@LNP‐MPG (HLM). HLM nuclei‐targets DPSCs to deliver HMW‐FGF2,
