    Description

    Blood pressure regulation is known to be maintained by a neuro-endocrine circuit, but whether immune cells contribute to blood pressure homeostasis has not been determined. We previously showed that CD4+ T lymphocytes that express choline acetyltransferase (ChAT), which catalyzes the synthesis of the vasorelaxant acetylcholine, relay neural signals. Here we show that these CD4 +CD44hiCD62L lo T helper...

    Description

    The IRF5-SLE risk haplotype is associated with SLE disease severity. We hypothesized that neutrophils from healthy risk donors would carry a pathogenic gene signature compared to non-risk donors. To compare basal neutrophil gene signature between risk and non-risk healthy individuals, fresh whole blood was collected from healthy donors, and granulocytes were extracted from the remaining pellet following...

    Description

    Includes both deidentified individual patient data and analysis outputs. Study included 56 patients. Demographic and clinical data including medication, diagnosis and Clinical Global Impression Severity (CGI-S) scales on outpatients who had COVID-19 between February 28th and October 1st 2020 were extracted from the electronic health records (EHR) from the hospital. Study observed a higher COVID-19...

    Description

    Background. Endometriosis is a common, complex disorder which is underrecognized and subject to prolonged delays in diagnosis. It is accompanied by significant changes in the eutopic endometrial lining. Methods. We have undertaken the first single cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-Seq) comparison of endometrial tissues in freshly collected menstrual effluent (ME) from 33 subjects, including confirmed endometriosis...

    Description

    Here we investigated different cell populations within ovarian cancer using single-cell RNA seq: fourteen samples from nine patients with differing grades (high grade, low grade and benign) as well as different origin sites (primary and metastatic tumor site, ovarian in origin and fallopian in origin).

    Description

    The purpose of this microarray is to identify genes that may be differentially expressed in M1 or M2 macrophages after treatment with CNI-1493. CNI-1493 is a known inhibitor of M1 macrophages but details of its molecular mechanism are unknown. The effect of CNI-1493 on M2 macrophages has yet to be explored, but we hypothesize that CNI-1493 treatment will attenuate pro-tumor properties of M2 macrophages....

    Description

    Patients with ESRD receiving chronic hemodialysis often have persistent predialysis hyperkalemia. In the DIALIZE randomized study, the authors evaluated treatment with the potassium binder sodium zirconium cyclosilicate versus placebo in managing hyperkalemia in such patients. The authors report that compared with placebo, sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC) significantly increased the proportion...

    Description

    This study examines the circadian gene expression of whole kidneys of young and nephritic NZB/W F1 mice. Young mice were harvested at 12 weeks of age. Nephritic mice were harvested 2-3 weeks after nephritis onset (>300mg/dl proteinuria) but before the development of endstage renal failure (BUN >25). Remission was induced in nephritic mice with new onset proteinuria of less than 1 week duration measured...
