Preliminary data suggest possible association between IL-32 expression level and time of MS attack

IL-32 and TNF? are important cytokines in autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. IL-32 has not been previously studied with respect to MS. Here, we report IL-32 and TNF? transcript levels in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of MS patients and control individuals by real time PCR. A significant difference in IL-32 and TNF? mRNA levels of patients as compared to controls was not observed. Howeve...

Algorithmic Mems

As improvements in fabrication technology for MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) increase the availability and diversity of these micromachines, engineers are de ning a growing number of tasks to which they can be put. The idea of carrying out tasks using large coordinated systems of MEMS units motivates the development of automated, algorithmic methods for designing and controlling these gr...
