BACKGROUND: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease of the central nervous system (CNS). One potential therapeutic strategy for MS is to induce regulatory cells that mediate immunological tolerance. Probiotics, including lactobacilli, are known to induce immunomodulatory activity with promising effects in inflammatory diseases. We tested the potential of various strain

BACKGROUND: Cerebral ischemia from middle cerebral artery wall (MCA) occlusion results in increased expression of cerebrovascular endothelin and angiotensin receptors and activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway, as well as reduced local cerebral blood flow and increased levels of pro-inflammatory mediators in the infarct region. In this study, we hypothesised that inhibit

Abstract in Norwegian Vokativfrasar, her definerte som (nominal)frasar som refererer til adressaten for ei ytring utan å vera eit syntaktisk argument i ytringa, kan ha identifiserande eller predikerande funksjon eller markere eit trekk i samtalen. Vokativane kan vera frittståande frasar eller integrerte i ei setning, der dei i norsk blant anna kan stå i ein øyremerkt posisjon i venstreperiferien.

The dominating local and regional sources of gaseous and particulate air pollution in the city of Lund (69,000 inhabitants) in southern Sweden were characterized using a combination of aerosol and gas-phase monitoring techniques. Twelve-hour samples were taken at two stations of both fine and coarse fraction urban aerosols with a stacked filter unit during the four-week measurement campaign in Mar

Existence, uniqueness, and asymptotic properties of solutions Z to the Wiener-Hopf integral equation Z(x) = z(x) + integral(-infinity)(x) Z(x - y)F(dy), x greater than or equal to 0, are discussed by purely probabilistic methods, involving random walks, supermartingales, coupling, the Hewitt-Savage 0-1 law, ladder heights, and exponential change of measure.

Most processes of eukaryotic cells depend on the cortical cytoskeleton (CS), a protein filament structure associated to the plasma membrane (PM). With animal cells, much information has been collected on the mechanisms behind CS-PM interactions, but for plant cells the CS-PM links are poorly characterized. To allow investigations on these links, isolated PM from cauliflower were here treated with
