Comparative Effectiveness and Safety of Inebilizumab Versus Rituximab in AQP4‐IgG‐Positive NMOSD

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Rituximab (anti‐CD20, RTX) and inebilizumab (anti‐CD19, INE) represent B‐cell‐depleting therapies used for aquaporin‐4 antibody‐positive (AQP4‐IgG+) neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD); however, direct comparative evidence remains limited.

Aspergillus fumigatus Gliotoxin Inhibits LC3-Associated Phagocytosis in Macrophages in a Calcium-Dependent Manner

Journal of Immunology Research
As a pivotal secondary metabolite of Aspergillus fumigatus, gliotoxin (GT) has many toxicological effects on mammalian cells; however, its function on LC3-associated phagocytosis (LAP) induced by A. fumigatus in macrophages is poorly understood. Here, it

Monitoring and evaluation of the immune status of female Kunming mice maintained in different biosafety level laboratories

Biology Open, 2018
High-level biosafety laboratories (BSL), such as BSL-3 and BSL-4, which deal with high infectivity and virulence pathogens, have become indispensable. Mice are frequently used in animal BSL (ABSL) to establish animal models for infection and to evaluate ...

An exploration of clinically meaningful definitions of cough bouts

ERJ Open Research
Rationale The measurement of cough frequency is widely used in clinical trials, typically expressed as the number of explosive cough sounds per hour. However, this measure does not capture the clustering of coughs into bouts. Coughing bouts contribute to

A modular transcriptional signature identifies phenotypic heterogeneity of human tuberculosis infection

Nature Communications, 2018
Mass screening diagnostics for Mycobacterium tuberculosis exist, but criticisms exist regarding the sensitivity and specificity of these tools. Here the authors use RNA-Seq and a modular bioinformatics approach using data from their own cohorts and meta ...

Peripheral Neutrophil Activation and Extracellular Trap Formation in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
Markers of neutrophil activation are increased in plasma during ALS, and markers of NET formation associate with ALS survival. ABSTRACT Objectives Peripheral neutrophil levels in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) inversely correlate with survival, suggesting a role for neutrophils in disease progression.
