Background The presence of human papillomavirus (HPV)-infection in oropharyngeal squamous
cell carcinoma (OPSCC) is a major determinant in prognostic risk modeling. However, …

Kinins comprise a family of peptides that were first found in the central nervous system of

Noroviruses are global agents of acute gastroenteritis, but the development of control strategies
has been hampered by the absence of a robust animal model. Studies in chimpanzees …

We previously showed that β 2 -glycoprotein I (β 2 GPI)–dependent lupus anticoagulants (LAs)
form bivalent antigen-antibody complexes with high affinity for phospholipids; these …

Noroviruses are the most common cause of epidemic gastroenteritis. Genotype II.3 is one of
the most frequently detected noroviruses associated with sporadic infections. We studied the …

Satellite radar interferometry is a well-documented technique for the characterisation of ground
motions over large spatial areas. However, the measurement density is often constrained …

Hepatitis B virus (HBV)-associated acute liver failure (ALF) is a dramatic clinical syndrome
due to a sudden loss of hepatic cells leading to multiorgan failure. The mechanisms whereby …

Samples of old silver mine dump materials, garden soils contaminated with mine dump
