    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

    Using a combination of rigorous molecular genetic analyses, transgenic mice, and adoptive transfer experiments, we demonstrate that DRGs do not synthesize these antigen-specific antibodies, but rather sequester primarily IgG1 subtype antibodies. As revealed by RNA-seq and targeted quantitative PCR (qPCR), dorsal root ganglion (DRG) sensory neurons harvested from either naïve or immunized mice lack...

    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...
