Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare but severe autoimmune disease characterized by immune dysregulation, fibrosis, and vasculopathy. Although previous studies have highlighted the presence of functional autoantibodies targeting the angiotensin II receptor type 1 (AT1) and endothelin‐1 type A receptor (ETAR), leading to autoantibody‐mediated ...

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.Objective A pathogenetic role of CD8+ T lymphocytes in radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (r‐axSpA) and other spondyloarthritis (SpA) is sustained by genome‐wide association studies and by the expansion of public T cell clonotypes in the target tissues.

Interrelationship Between Protein Electrostatics and Evolution in HCV and HIV Replicative Proteins [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 Protein electrostatics have been demonstrated to play a vital role in protein functionality, with many functionally important amino acid residues exhibiting an electrostatic state that is altered from that of a normal amino acid residue. Residues with altered electrostatic states can be identified by the presence of a pKa value that is perturbed by 2 ...

The mazEF toxin-antitoxin system as a novel antibacterial target in Acinetobacter baumannii [PDF]
, 2014 Although analysis of toxin-antitoxin (TA) systems can be instructive, to date, there is no information on the prevalence and identity of TA systems based on a large panel of Acinetobacter baumannii clinical isolates.

Paradigm shifts. Part II. Reverse Transcriptase. Analysis of reference stability and word frequencies [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 The reverse transcription paradigm shift in RNA tumor virus research marked by the discovery of the reverse transcriptase in 1970 was traced using co-citation and title word frequency analysis. It is shown that this event is associated with a break in citation patterns and the occurrence of previously unknown technical terms.

Efficiency of DNA replication in the Polymerase Chain Reactio [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences Volume 93, Number
23; Pages 12947-12952, November 12, 1996, 2001 We present a detailed kinetic model for the Polymerase Chain Reaction, and model the probability of replication in terms of the physical parameters of the problem. Applying the theory of branching processes, we show the existance of a new phenomenon affecting the probability distribution function of the number of replicants: for small number of initial
