Antigen-dependent rescue of nose-associated lymphoid tissue (NALT) development independent of LTbetaR and CXCR5 signaling.

29 Sep 2009 Nose-associated lymphoid tissue (NALT) in the rodent upper respiratory tract develops postnatally and is considered to be independent of several factors known to be involved in the organogenesis of LN and Peyer's patches (PP). In this study we ... Read more...

Meta-analysis: retinal vessel caliber and risk for coronary heart disease.

13 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Retinal vessel caliber may be a novel marker of coronary heart disease (CHD) risk. However, the sex-specific effect, magnitude of association, and effect independent of traditional CHD disease risk factors remain unclear. PURPOSE: To ... Read more...

Quantitative genetic analysis of the retinal vascular caliber: the Australian Twins Eye Study.

15 Aug 2009 Research into the genetic effects and specific genes associated with retinal vascular caliber, a risk marker of cardiovascular diseases, may provide new insights into the genetic contribution of early microvascular disease. A combined 374 ... Read more...
