MULTIPLE AUTOIMMUNE-ASSOCIATED VARIANTS CONFER DECREASED IL-2R SIGNALING IN CD4+ CD25(HI) T CELLS OF TYPE 1 DIABETIC AND MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS PATIENTS.

Multiple autoimmune-associated variants confer decreased IL-2R signaling in CD4+ CD25(hi) T cells of type 1 diabetic and multiple sclerosis patients.

IL-2 receptor (IL-2R) signaling is essential for optimal stability and function of CD4(+)CD25(hi)FOXP3(+) regulatory T cells (Treg); a cell type that plays an integral role in maintaining tolerance.Thus, we hypothesized that decreased response to IL-2 may be a common phenotype of subjects who have autoimmune diseases associated with variants in the

Towards Understanding the Relationships between Processing Conditions and Mechanical Performance of the Additive Friction Stir Deposition Process

In this research, we explore the preliminary effects of processing conditions using a novel additive manufacturing (AM) process, known as additive friction stir deposition (AFSD), on resulting build direction (BD) mechanical performance.Using the AFSD process, a feasibility study of three AM builds of Body Oil identical size are created using diffe
