Loss of c-REL but not NF-κB2 prevents autoimmune disease driven by FasL mutation
FASL/FAS signaling imposes a critical barrier against autoimmune disease and lymphadenopathy. Mutant mice unable to produce membrane-bound FASL (FasLΔm/Δm), a prerequisite for FAS-induced apoptosis, develop lymph...

Disease activity in longstanding ankylosing spondylitis—a correlation of clinical and magnetic resonance imaging findings
We evaluated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) changes in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients with longstanding disease and investigated whether there is any relationship between MRI findings and validated met...

Loss of PKD1 and loss of Bcl-2 elicit polycystic kidney disease through distinct mechanisms
We have recently demonstrated that ablation of one or both alleles of the proapoptotic gene Bim prevents the polycystic kidney disease (PKD) that develops in mice deficient for the prosurvival protein Bcl-2. The ...

Electric field-assisted biosorption
A bisorption process using electric fields to facilitate contact between a sorbate and non-living biomass is described. The latter is enclosed within a semi-permeable membrane together with an electrode. The c...

Radio Source Variability as a Tool for Very High Resolution
If flux density variability is intrinsic to extragalactic sources, then the shortest time scale of the variability yields an extremely high angular resolution. There is, however, good evidence that some of the...
