The KIR repertoire of a West African chimpanzee population is characterized by limited gene, allele, and haplotype variation

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2023
IntroductionThe killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIR) play a pivotal role in modulating the NK cell responses, for instance, through interaction with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecules.

Rapid Characterization of Complex Killer Cell Immunoglobulin-Like Receptor (KIR) Regions Using Cas9 Enrichment and Nanopore Sequencing

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
Long-read sequencing approaches have considerably improved the quality and contiguity of genome assemblies. Such platforms bear the potential to resolve even extremely complex regions, such as multigenic immune families and repetitive stretches of DNA ...

The Genomic Organization of the LILR Region Remained Largely Conserved Throughout Primate Evolution: Implications for Health And Disease

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2021
The genes of the leukocyte immunoglobulin-like receptor (LILR) family map to the leukocyte receptor complex (LRC) on chromosome 19, and consist of both activating and inhibiting entities. These receptors are often involved in regulating immune responses,

Sensory Symptoms Associated with Aesthetic Botulinum Toxin A Treatments

open access: yesPlastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2022
Background:. A retrospective review of patients who switched from onabotulinumtoxinA (onaA) and/or abobotulinumtoxinA (aboA) to incobotulinumtoxinA (incoA) found anecdotal reports of differences in “feel,” including a “lighter” feel or treatment ...

Surgical or Nonsurgical Facial Rejuvenation: The Patients’ Choice

open access: yesPlastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2023
Background:. Patients seeking a pan-facial rejuvenation may not receive appropriate medical advice on surgical versus nonsurgical treatments, resulting in those who are best-suited for surgery receiving nonsurgical options, and vice versa.

Neuromodulating the SMAS for Natural Dynamic Results

open access: yesPlastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2021
Summary:. Physicians using neuromodulators need to develop an in-depth and holistic understanding of the facial musculature as a single, large, functional structure that does not work in isolation.

Refinement

open access: yesALTEX, 2014
The ultimate goal of the Three Rs is the full replacement of animals used in biomedical research and testing. However, replacement is unlikely to occur in the near future; therefore the scientific community as a whole must continue to devote considerable effort to ensure optimal animal welfare for the benefit of the science and the animals, i.e., the R

Refining Procedures within Regulatory Toxicology Studies: Improving Animal Welfare and Data

open access: yesAnimals, 2021
During the development of potential new medicines or agrochemicals, an assessment of the safety profile to humans and environmental species is conducted using a range of different in silico and in vitro techniques in conjunction with metabolism and ...

The Genetic Mechanisms Driving Diversification of the KIR Gene Cluster in Primates

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
The activity and function of natural killer (NK) cells are modulated through the interactions of multiple receptor families, of which some recognize MHC class I molecules.

Mesh Refinement [PDF]

open access: yesMathematics of Computation, 1973
We study mesh refinement techniques for first-order hyperbolic equations. A refinement method for use with the leap-frog scheme is defined and its stability established. The remainder of the paper is devoted to a discussion of the effects of nonuniform grids and the circumstances under which they may be used.
