Identification by circumstantial evidence
The assumedly mortal remains of Queen Editha (Eadgyth) (91o–946 AD), wife of Otto the Great (912–973 AD) were subject of identification. The aim of the multi disciplinary investigations of an international research team was to test the hypothesis that the coffin indeed contained the skeletal remains of Queen Editha, as an inscription on its lid states. Biographical data of the historic Editha h...
متن کاملGuilty by Association
Over the last decade, there has been a dramatic resurgence of interest in large-artery hemodynamics. This has been driven principally by the accumulating evidence that aortic stiffness is an independent predictor of future cardiovascular risk in a variety of populations.1 The current gold-standard measure of aortic stiffness is aortic pulse wave velocity (aPWV). This reflects the fact that it h...

evant antigen. These data suggest a model in which populations of tissue-specifi c Tregs arise during thymic development and then accumulate within those peripheral tissues on the basis of antigen recognition (see the fi gure). As tumors develop, these preexisting tissue-resident Tregs are recruited into and/or expanded within the tumor microenvironment, potentially allowing them to exert local...
متن کاملB-cell receptors and heavy chain diseases: guilty by association?
Heavy chain diseases (HCDs) are B-cell proliferative disorders characterized by the production of monoclonal, incomplete, immunoglobulin (Ig) heavy chains (HCs) without associated light chains (LCs). These abnormal HCs are produced as a consequence of HC gene alterations in the neoplastic B cells. HC gene alterations will also impact on surface HC, which is part of the B-cell receptor (BCR), a ...
متن کاملTelomeres, Aging and Exercise: Guilty by Association?
Telomeres are repetitive tandem DNA sequences that cap chromosomal ends protecting genomic DNA from enzymatic degradation. Telomeres progressively shorten with cellular replication and are therefore assumed to correlate with biological and chronological age. An expanding body of evidence suggests (i) a predictable inverse association between telomere length, aging and age-related diseases and (...
