Open AccessCirculating CCL20 as a New Biomarker of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm
Autoimmunity appears to play a role in abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) pathology. Although the chemokine CCL20 has been involved in autoimmune diseases, its relationship with the pathogenesis of AAA is unclear...

Open AccessGiant magnetoresistance in lateral metallic nanostructures for spintronic applications
In this letter, we discuss the shift observed in spintronics from the current-perpendicular-to-plane geometry towards lateral geometries, illustrating the new opportunities offered by this configuration. Using...

Open AccessEvidence for spin-to-charge conversion by Rashba coupling in metallic states at the Fe/Ge(111) interface
The spin–orbit coupling relating the electron spin and momentum allows for spin generation, detection and manipulation. It thus fulfils the three basic functions of the spin field-effect transistor. However, t...

Highly efficient and tunable spin-to-charge conversion through Rashba coupling at oxide interfaces
The spin–orbit interaction couples the electrons’ motion to their spin. As a result, a charge current running through a material with strong spin–orbit coupling generates a transverse spin current (spin Hall e...

Spin-to-charge conversion using Rashba coupling at the interface between non-magnetic materials
The Rashba effect is an interaction between the spin and the momentum of electrons induced by the spin-orbit coupling (SOC) in surface or interface states. Its potential for conversion between charge and spin ...

Non-adiabatic spin-torques in narrow magnetic domain walls
There is considerable debate over the size and direction of the non-adiabatic component of the spin-torque generated when a current flows across a domain wall in a ferromagnet. Measurements of this property in...

Immediate peritoneal response to bacterial contamination during laparoscopic surgery
Several studies have shown that laparoscopic surgery (LS) minimizes surgical trauma and the immune function is better preserved. Another major advantage of LS is the lower incidence of septic complications. Ho...

Late Relapses in Adult Acute Myelogenous Leukemia: A Retrospective Study of Characteristics and Outcome in 76 Cases
Relapses in acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) are generally considered of poor prognosis. Late relapses are known to represent a special entity with better prognosis. Whether late relapses occur from the origin...

Interleukin-1 Stimulates Arachidonic Acid 15-Hydroxylation in Human Endothelial Cells
lnterleukin-1 (IL-1 ) induces the expression of immediate-early gene encoding for cyclooxygenase in human endothelial cells (EC) [1], and so increases prostanoid production. However, the effect of IL-1 on the ...
