Myeloid phagocytes have evolved to rapidly recognize invading pathogens and clear them through opsonophagocytic killing.The adenylate cyclase toxin (CyaA) of Bordetella pertussis and the edema toxin (ET) of Bacillus anthracis are both calmodulin-activated toxins with adenylyl cyclase activity that invade host cells and massively increase the cellul
Systematic expression analysis of ligand-receptor pairs reveals important cell-to-cell interactions inside glioma
Abstract Background Glioma is the most commonly diagnosed malignant and aggressive brain cancer in adults.Traditional researches mainly explored the expression profile of glioma at cell-population level, but ignored the heterogeneity and interactions of among glioma cells.Methods Here, we firstly analyzed the single-cell RNA-seq (scRNA-seq) data of
Feasibility and outcomes of atrial fibrillation screening using intermittent electrocardiography in a primary healthcare setting: A cross-sectional study.
dresses BackgroundAtrial fibrillation (AF) is a major risk factor for ischemic stroke unless treated with an anticoagulant.Detecting AF can be difficult because AF is often paroxysmal and asymptomatic.The aims of this study were to develop a screening model to detect AF in a primary healthcare setting and to initiate oral anticoagulant therapy in h
