Generation of ROR gamma t(+) Antigen-Specific T Regulatory 17 Cells from Foxp3(+) Precursors in Autoimmunity [PDF]
Th17 cells are potent mediators in autoimmune diseases, and RORgt is required for their development. Recent studies have shown that ROR gamma t(+) Treg cells in the gut regulate intestinal inflammation by inhibiting effector T cell function.

Development and testing of a polygenic risk score for breast cancer aggressiveness
Aggressive breast cancers portend a poor prognosis, but current polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for breast cancer do not reliably predict aggressive cancers. Aggressiveness can be effectively recapitulated using tumor gene expression profiling.

CD4+RORγt++ and Tregs in a Mouse Model of Diet‐Induced Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis [PDF]
Background and Aims. Inflammatory mediators that cross‐talk in different metabolically active organs are thought to play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH). This study was aimed at investigating the CD4+RORγt+ T‐helper cells and their counterpart, the CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ regulatory T cells in the liver, subcutaneous ...

ROR-γ drives androgen receptor expression and represents a therapeutic target in castration-resistant prostate cancer. [PDF]
The androgen receptor (AR) is overexpressed and hyperactivated in human castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). However, the determinants of AR overexpression in CRPC are poorly defined.

The effects of run-of-river hydroelectric power schemes on invertebrate community composition in temperate streams and rivers. [PDF]
Run-of-river (ROR) hydroelectric power (HEP) schemes are often presumed to be less ecologically damaging than large-scale storage HEP schemes. However, there is currently limited scientific evidence on their ecological impact.

FRI0153 Role of ror gamma t inhibition in the il-23 minicircle model and spa patient tissue cultures [PDF]
Background Retinoic acid receptor related Orphan Receptor gamma t (RORγt) is a nuclear hormone receptor expressed in a subset of pathogenic T cells and innate lymphoid cells. RORγt regulates the transcription of key pro inflammatory cytokines such as IL-17 and IL-22 in response to multiple activation signals including cytokines and T cell receptor ...

Benchmarking and Regulation of Electricity Transmission and Distribution Utilities: Lessons from International Experience [PDF]
Since the early 1980's, many countries have implemented electricity sector reform, many of which have bundled generation, transmission, distribution and supply activities, and have introduced competition in generation and supply. An increasing number
