MICA-129 genotype, soluble MICA, and anti-MICA antibodies as biomarkers of chronic graft-versus-host disease.
The MHC class I-related chain A (MICA) molecules exist as membrane-bound and soluble isoforms and are encoded by a polymorphic gene. Their genetic and phenotype characteristics have been studied in various pathologic settings but not in the context of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Here, we evaluated whether MICA-related features namely MICA-129 gene polymorphism, serum levels ...
متن کاملAdsorption of Polyelectrolytes on Mica
‘‘Adsorption of Polyelectrolytes on Mica’’ sounds like a very specific title and it may be difficult to envision, upon first reflection, why mica deserves a separate chapter in the study of adsorption of polymers on solid substrates. What makes mica such a special substrate? What are the driving forces involved in the adsorption of macromolecules on mica? What mechanisms participate in the adso...
متن کاملMICA: multimodal independent component analysis
We extend the framework of ICA (independent component analysis) to the case that there is a pair of information sources. The goal of MICA is to extract statistically dependent pairs of features from the sources, where the components of feature vector extracted from each source are independent. Therefore, the cost function is constructed to maximize the degree of pairwise dependence as well as o...
متن کاملMica Observations of Coronal Transients
Dynamical processes are well known to occur in the inner solar atmosphere, many of them giving origin to spectacular eruptions known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs). The projected speed of propagation of these events ranges from less than 100 km/sec to greater than 1200 km/sec. In order to study the initial evolution of the faster processes it is necessary to image the inner corona at a very h...
متن کاملPossible origin of life between mica sheets: does life imitate mica?
The mica hypothesis for the origin of life proposes that life originated between the sheets of muscovite mica. This paper elaborates on two ways that life resembles what might have originated between mica sheets. First, enzymes: The configurations and dynamics of enzymes, with their substrates, cofactors, and sometimes transition metal ions, often resemble mica sheets, with their open-and-shut ...
