HIV-1 Vpr up-regulates expression of ligands for the activating NKG2D receptor and promotes NK cell-mediated killing
(2010)
HIV upregulates cell-surface expression of specific ligands for the activating NKG2D receptor, including ULBP-1, -2, -3, but not MICA or MICB, in infected cells both in vitro and in vivo. However, the viral factor(s) ...
Effect of calcium-modulating cyclophilin ligand on human immunodeficiency virus type 1 particle release and cell surface expression of Tetherin
(2009)
The HIV-1 accessory protein Vpu enhances virus particle release by counteracting a host factor that retains virions at the cell surface of infected cells. It was recently demonstrated that cellular protein BST2/CD317/Tetherin ...

The proprotein convertase PC5/6 is protective against intestinal tumorigenesis: In vivo mouse model
(2009)
The secretory basic amino acid-specific proprotein convertases (PCs) have often been associated with cancer/metastasis. By controlling the cleavage of cancer-associated proteins, PCs play key roles in multiple steps of ...

Development, implementation and assessment of a concussion education programme for high school student-athletes
(Taylor and Francis, 2018)
Although experts have noted that adolescent athletes should be educated about concussions to improve their safety, there is no agreement on the most effective strategy to disseminate concussion education. The purpose of ...
Quantitative MRI in patients with gluteal tendinopathy and asymptomatic volunteers : initial results on T1- and T2*-mapping diagnostic accuracy and correlation with clinical assessment
(Springer, 2021-04-29)
Objective To determine if T1- and T2*-mapping of the gluteal tendons can discriminate between participants with and without clinical findings of gluteal tendinopathy (GT) and if they correlate with clinical assessment. ...
Telehealth for people who inject drugs : An acceptable method of treatment but challenging to access
(Routledge, 2022-02-08)
Background:
While telemedicine is seen as an emerging practice that will outlast the COVID-19 pandemic, it
can reduce health services for those with limited internet and technological devices access or
sufficient li ...
Induction of systemic oxidative stress leads to brain oedema in portacaval shunted rats
(Wiley, 2013-11-25)
Background & Aims The pathogenesis of hepatic encephalopathy (HE) is multifactorial and often associated with the
development of brain oedema. In addition to ammonia playing a central role, systemic oxidative stress is ...
