The sound of silence
... Is it realistic to suppose that a single-base mismatch could have any sizeable effect on an organism’s fitness by this mechanism? Two pieces of evidence suggest that it can. Often, miRNA binds, not in the protein-coding body of the mRNA, but in an untranslated region at the terminus of the mRNA. Sin ...

Vitamin D status modulates the immune response to Epstein Barr virus
... Dihydroxyvitamin D3 is a potent regulator of immune responses. Vitamin D3 receptors are expressed on dendritic cells, monocytes and activated T cells and B cells [17,18], and dihydroxyvitamin D3 inhibit lymphocyte proliferation, interleukin (IL)2 production and immunoglobulin synthesis [19,20].

Although current modes of in vivo gene delivery to the epidermis produce transient, low expression of exogenous gene products, these methods have been successful in stimulating the sensitive immune system present in the epidermis (50). Genetic vaccination. Classical vaccination involves the use of e ...
