Infections by parasitic nematodes inflict a huge burden on the health of humans and livestock throughout world. Anthelmintic drugs are first line defense against these infections. Unfortunately, resistance to is rampant continues spread. To improve treatment strategies, we must understand genetics molecular mechanisms that underlie resistance. Studies fungus Aspergillus nidulans free-living nematode Caenorhabditis elegans discovered beta-tubulin gene mutated in benzimidazole (BZ) resistant...
Using a novel model of rheumatoid arthritis, we identified critical role for reduced tissue-resident macrophages.
Longitudinal trajectories of cardiovascular health (CVH) may reflect vascular risk burden due to prolonged cumulative exposure non-ideal CVH levels. Identifying individuals who have a higher trajectory facilitate treatment, screening, and prevention. We aimed characterize 10-year examine the associations between subsequent disease (CVD) mortality.We analyzed 3674 MESA participants completed four exams remained CVD-free from 2000 2011. A 12-point score was calculated based on physical...

A novel HLA-B allele, B*15:179:02, has been identified during typing of donors in Anhui province, China.
Introduction: The American Heart Association Life’s Simple 7 (LS7) framework is used to promote cardiovascular health. Trends in health of US adults with a history disease (CVD) are not well characterized. Hypothesis: To assess trends LS7 factors CVD. Methods: In 4,233 self-reported CVD (i.e., myocardial infarction, stroke, angina, and heart failure) from the National Health Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2018, we constructed revised 14-point score. revision included Healthy...
