The bacterial type VI secretion system (T6SS) is used by donor cells to inject toxic effectors into receptor cells. The donor cells produce the corresponding immunity proteins to protect themselves against the effector proteins, thereby preventing their self-intoxication. Recently, the C-terminal do

Brazilian journal of medical and biological research = Revista brasileira de pesquisas médicas e biológicas / Sociedade Brasileira de Biofísica ... [et al.].Braz J Med Biol Res.2014 May 2;47(5):403-10.
A simple experimental protocol applying a quantitative ultrasound (QUS) pulse-echo technique was used to measure the acoustic parameters of healthy femoral diaphyses of Wistar rats in vivo. Five quantitative parameters [apparent integrated backscatter (AIB), frequency slope of apparent backscatter (

Context and Objective: The incidence of TSH receptor (TSHR) stimulating autoantibodies (TSAbs) in pediatric Graves' disease (GD) is controversial. This large, multicenter study evaluated the clinical relevance of TSAbs in children with GD both with Graves' orbitopathy (GO) and without orbital diseas
