Frequency of CD4+CD25hiFOXP3+ Regulatory T Cells Has Diagnostic and Prognostic Value as a Biomarker for Acute Graft-versus-Host-Disease
The relationship between regulatory T cells (Tregs) and acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) in clinical allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT) recipients is not well established. We conducted a prospective analysis of peripheral blood Tregs as determined ...

Effects of Mismatching for Minor Histocompatibility Antigens on Clinical Outcomes in HLA-Matched, Unrelated Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplants
Several studies in HLA-matched sibling hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) have reported an association between mismatches in minor histocompatibility antigens (mHAg) and outcomes. We assessed whether single and multiple minor mHAg mismatches are...

Opposing Functions of the ETS Factor Family Define Shh Spatial Expression in Limb Buds and Underlie Polydactyly
Summary Sonic hedgehog (Shh) expression during limb development is crucial for specifying the identity and number of digits. The spatial pattern of Shh expression is restricted to a region called the zone of polarizing activity (ZPA), and this...

The Sedoheptulose Kinase CARKL Directs Macrophage Polarization through Control of Glucose Metabolism
Summary Immune cells are somewhat unique in that activation responses can alter quantitative phenotypes upwards of 100,000-fold. To date little is known about the metabolic adaptations necessary to mount such dramatic phenotypic shifts. Screening...

Enzymatic attributes of an l-isoaspartyl methyltransferase from Candida utilis and its role in cell survival
Abstract Backgrounds Spontaneous deamidation and isoaspartate (IsoAsp) formation contributes to aging and reduced longevity in cells. A protein-l-isoaspartate (d-aspartate) O-methyltransferase (PCMT) is responsible for minimizing...
