THE ACID CERAMIDASE/CERAMIDE AXIS CONTROLS PARASITEMIA IN PLASMODIUM YOELII-INFECTED MICE BY REGULATING ERYTHROPOIESIS

The acid ceramidase/ceramide axis controls parasitemia in Plasmodium yoelii-infected mice by regulating erythropoiesis

Acid ceramidase (Ac) is part of the sphingolipid metabolism and responsible for the degradation of ceramide.As bioactive molecule, ceramide is involved in the regulation of many cellular processes.However, the impact of cell-intrinsic Ac activity and ceramide on the course of Plasmodium infection remains elusive.Here, we Wine Tumbler use Ac-deficie

Non-invasive imaging with ICOS-targeting monoclonal antibody for preclinical diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis in a humanized mouse model

Abstract Background Activated T cells play a pivotal role in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) pathogenesis, and imaging of activated T cells may provide a non-invasive tool for RA detection.Here, we first developed an optical probe targeting human inducible T cell co-stimulator (ICOS) and tested its capacity in RA diagnosis by capturing ICOS+ activated T

Analyses of reinforced concrete beams strengthened with CFRP under bending: theorical and computational approaches

Abstract The basic aim of this work is to compile the theoretical basis of ACI 440.2R: 2008 [1] with the NBR 6118: 2014 [2] in order to take into account the concepts of the Brazilian standard in flexural sizing of reinforced beams with CFRP (Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer).The contribution of the Brazilian Sashimi Knives standard is given particu
