Gongga Shan (GGS) is the highest mountain on eastern margin of Tibetan Plateau. However, mechanism for uplift still unclear due to a lack detailed geophysical studies. Inversion an array magnetotelluric data at 120 sites produced 3D resistivity model that revealed GGS massif characterized by high upper crust underlain westward dipping resistor middle crustal depths interpreted as underthrust Ya...

This dissertation addresses the role for Janus Kinase 3 (Jak3) in CD4+ T cell homeostasis and function. Jak3 is a protein tyrosine kinase whose activity is essential for signals mediated by the yc dependent cytokines IL-2, -4, -7,-9,-15, and -21. Previous data have demonstrated that peripheral CD4+ T cells from Jak3-deficient mice have a memory phenotype and are functionally impaired in both pr...
