PID Comes Full Circle: Applications of V(D)J Recombination Excision Circles in Research, Diagnostics and Newborn Screening of Primary Immunodeficiency Disorders
The vast majority of patients suffering from a primary immunodeficiency (PID) have defects in their T- and/or B-cell compartments. Despite advances in molecular diagnostics, in many patients no underlying genetic defect has been identified. B- and T-lymphocytes are unique in their ability to create a receptor by genomic rearrangement of their antigen receptor genes via V(D)J recombination. Duri...

Women receive a broad range of services through the Women's Circle--in a coed residential substance abuse treatment faci...
متن کاملRac1 activation comes full circle.
The Rac1 small GTPase is responsive to a large array of extracellular signals and in turn controls a wide variety of cellular functions—including actin dynamics. New findings add an additional layer of intricacy to the already complex process of regulating Rac1 activity, via a positive feedback loop involving the actin-binding protein coronin 1A, the Rac1 exchange factor ArhGEF7, the Rac1 effec...
