The cell surface hyaluronidase TMEM2 plays an essential role in mouse neural crest cell development and survival.

Hyaluronan (HA) is a major extracellular matrix component whose tissue levels are dynamically regulated during embryonic development.Although the synthesis of HA has been shown to exert a substantial influence on embryonic morphogenesis, the functional importance of the catabolic aspect of HA turnover is poorly understood.Here, we demonstrate that

B cell depletion reduces the number of autoreactive T helper cells and prevents glucose-6-phosphate isomerase-induced arthritis.

The therapeutic benefit of B cell depletion in patients with rheumatoid arthritis has provided proof of concept that Axes B cells are relevant for the pathogenesis of arthritis.It remains unknown which B cell effector functions contribute to the induction or chronification of arthritis.We studied the clinical and immunological effects of B cell dep

Sensitivity-based Vulnerability Assessment of State Estimation

We propose a technique to assess the vulnerability of the power system state estimation.We aim MAGNESIUM GLYCINATE at identifying the measurements that have a high potential of being the target of false data injection attacks.From the perspective of the adversary, such measurements have the following characteristics: $igcirc!!!!!1$ being influenti
