Transforming growth factor-β 2 (TGF-β 2 ) is an approximately 25 kDa polypeptide encoded by a unique gene located on chromosome 1q41 [1]. This dimeric peptide is ubiquitously distributed in human tissues and synthesized by many different human cells. It has been detected in tear fluid, in the vitreous, and in aqueous humor [2-4]. TGF-β 2 is known to play an important role in wound healing and t...

The Fédération Internationale de Football (FIFA) 11+ warm-up program is efficacious at preventing lower limb injury in youth soccer; however, there has been poor adoption of the program in the community. The purpose of this study was to determine the utility of the Health Action Process Approach (HAPA) behavior change model in predicting intention to use the FIFA 11+ in a sample of 12 youth soc...

Background: Tooth extraction is surgical treatment with clinical manifestation alveolar bone resorption of 11-63% which potentially fails dental implant treatment. Socket preservation regeneration to minimize morphological changes in post-extraction using graft. Anti-inflammatory biomaterial needed modulate inflammatory cascade the lesion. Anthocyanin ternatin a flavonoid derived from butterfly...

Cerebral white matter hyperintensities (WMH) reflect accumulating white matter damage with aging and impair cognition. The role of childhood intelligence is rarely considered in associations between cognitive impairment and WMH. We studied community-dwelling older people all born in 1936, in whom IQ had been assessed at age 11 years. We assessed medical histories, current cognitive ability and ...

Type 1 diabetes results from T cell-mediated β-cell destruction. The HLA-A*24 class I gene confers significant risk of disease and early onset. We tested the hypothesis that HLA-A24 molecules on islet cells present preproinsulin (PPI) peptide epitopes to CD8 cytotoxic T cells (CTLs). Surrogate β-cell lines secreting proinsulin and expressing HLA-A24 were generated and their peptide ligandome ex...

β-Globin haplotypes are important to establish the ethnic origin and predict the clinical development of sickle cell disease patients (SCD). To determine the chromosomal background of β (S) Tunisian sickle cell patients, in this first study in Tunisia, we have explored four polymorphic regions of β-globin cluster on chromosome 11. It is the 5' region of β-LCR-HS2 site, the intervening sequence ...
