Temperature, water and light are 3 abiotic stress factors that have major influences on plant growth, development and reproduction. Plants can be primed by a prior mild stress to enhance their resistance to future stress. We used an untargeted metabolomics approach to examine Arabidopsis thal...
PBMCs from 4 donors were stained with the influenza A virus HLA-A24/PB1 498-505 tetramer. Two donors (non-LIFT8 and non-LIFT12) showed TCR independent KIR binding to tetramers whereas the other two donors (Non-LIFT14 and Non-LIFT10) showed TCR specific binding. Cells were single-cell sorted on a BD ...
Dendritic cells (DCs) direct CD4+ T cell differentiation into distinct T helper (Th) subsets that are vital for protection against diverse types of infection. However, the mechanisms employed by DCs to initiate Th2 responses, which are important for immunity to helminth infection as well as being a...

The cause of mental retardation in one-third to one-half of all affected individuals is unknown. Microscopically-detectable chromosomal abnormalities are the most frequent recognized cause, but gain or loss of chromosomal segments that are too small to be seen by conventional cytogenetic analysis ha...
To identify novel susceptibility loci for psoriasis, we undertook a genome-wide association scan of of 594,224 SNPs in 2,622 individuals with psoriasis and 5,667 controls.
Aims: Loss of nuclear TDP-43 characterises sporadic and most familial forms of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). TDP-43 (encoded by TARDBP) has multiple roles in RNA processing. We aimed to determine whether 1) RNA splicing dysregulation is present in lower motor neurons in ALS and in a motor neu...
