Since mitigation reduces both peak prevalence and the number of people who fall ill, the answer might appear to be yes. But mitigation also prolongs epidemics and therefore...
[ "On pandemics and the duty to care: whose duty? who cares?. BACKGROUND: As a number of commentators have noted, SARS exposed the vulnerabilities of our health care systems and governance structures. Health care professionals (HCPs) and hospital systems that bore the brunt of the SARS outbreak continue to struggle w...

what type of hand sanitizer is needed to destroy Covid-19?
A randomized trial of the efficacy of hand disinfection for prevention of rhinovirus infection.. BACKGROUND Hand disinfection is frequently recommended for prevention of rhinovirus (RV) infection and RV-associated common colds. The effectiveness of this intervention has not been established in a natural setting. The pu...

Foxp3 represses the expression of transcriptional regulators implicated in memory T cell development.
Extrathymic Generation of Regulatory T Cells in Placental Mammals Mitigates Maternal-Fetal Conflict. Regulatory T (Treg) cells, whose differentiation and function are controlled by X chromosome-encoded transcription factor Foxp3, are generated in the thymus (tTreg) and extrathymically (peripheral, pTreg), and their def...

Pro-inflammatory cytokines are up repressed during tumor development.
Paraneoplastic thrombocytosis: the secrets of tumor self-promotion.. Paraneoplastic thrombocytosis is associated with many solid tumors and often correlates with reduced survival. Recent studies suggest that a pathogenic feed back loop may be operative between platelets and tumor cells, with reciprocal interactions bet...
[ "NETs are a source of citrullinated autoantigens and stimulate inflammatory responses in rheumatoid arthritis.. The early events leading to the development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remain unclear, but formation of autoantibodies to citrullinated protein antigens (ACPAs) is considered a key pathogenic event. Neu...

Cis-acting lncRNAs control the expression of genes that are positioned in the vicinity of their transcription sites.
Functional Consequences of Splicing of the Antisense Transcript COOLAIR on FLC Transcription. Antisense transcription is widespread in many genomes; however, how much is functional is hotly debated. We are investigating functionality of a set of long noncoding antisense transcripts, collectively called COOLAIR, produce...
[ "Epigenetic switch involved in activation of pioneer factor FOXA1-dependent enhancers.. Transcription factors (TFs) bind specifically to discrete regions of mammalian genomes called cis-regulatory elements. Among those are enhancers, which play key roles in regulation of gene expression during development and diffe...
