The aim of this study was to explore the association between the IL7R T244I polymorphism (rs6897932) and susceptibility of multiple sclerosis (MS). A comprehensive literature search for relevant studies was conducted on Google scholar, PubMed, the Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and the Chinese …
Bestrophin-1, an integral membrane protein encoded by the BEST1 gene, is localized predominantly to the basolateral membrane of the retinal pigment epithelium. Mutations in the BEST1 gene have been associated with Best vitelliforme macular dystrophy (BMD), a central retinopathy with autosomal dominant inheritance and variable …
Over the last couple of decades, graphene-based materials (GBMs) have gained tremendous research interest owing to their excellent physicochemical properties [].Interestingly, graphene exists in many forms, and can be customized in numerous ways as per the application requirements []mon to all graphene forms, the lattice-configured …
The study aims to elucidate the physicochemical properties and immunomodulatory activity of two polysaccharides (ACPt0 and ACPt2) from Abrus cantoniensis. Results revealed that ACPt0 with a molecular weight of 26.0 kDa, was mainly composed of glucose (83.1%) and galactose (6.1%), and that ACPt2 with a molecular …
The findings in the sample support previous reported association studies between IL7RA rs6897932 and MS, and include Europeans and Americans of European origin resulting in stronger association with similar OR. Several but not all studies have provided evidence for the association between multiple sclerosis (MS) and the T244I …
