Despite the success of immune checkpoint blockade in melanoma, the majority of patients do not respond. We hypothesized that the T and NK cell subset frequencies and expression levels of their receptors may predict responses and...
BACKGROUND: Randomised trials of vitamin D supplementation for cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality have generally reported null findings. However, generalisability of results to individuals with low vitamin D status...
Inflammation is closely related to the extent of damage following cerebral ischaemia, and the targeting of this inflammation has emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy. Here, we present that hypoxia-induced glial T-cell...
Abstract: A measurement of four branching-fraction ratios for three-body decays of B mesons involving two open-charm hadrons in the final state is presented. Run 1 and Run 2 pp collision data are used, recorded by the LHCb...
BACKGROUND: Immune mechanisms have been implicated in the pathogenesis of depression. Translocator protein (TSPO)-targeted positron emission tomography (PET) has been used to assess neuroinflammation in major depressive...
Abstract: The first full angular analysis of the B0→D∗−Ds∗+ decay is performed using 6 fb−1 of pp collision data collected with the LHCb experiment at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The Ds∗+→Ds+γ and D*− → D¯0π− vector meson...
Abstract: The decay-time-dependent CP asymmetry in B0→ D∗±D∓ decays is mea- sured using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 9 fb−1 recorded by the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass...
A measurement of four branching-fraction ratios for three-body decays of $B$
mesons involving two open-charm hadrons in the final state is presented. Run 1
and Run 2 $pp$ collision data are used, recorded by the LHCb experiment...

Abstract: Measurements of CP observables in B± → D(*)K± and B± → D(*)π± decays are presented, where D(∗) indicates a neutral D or D∗ meson that is an admixture of meson and anti-meson states. Decays of the D(∗) meson to the Dπ0...
Don Long of Lake Wylie will fill the appointee slot held by Tommy Pope, who was elected to the S.C. House of Representatives in November and had to resign. Tim Hopkins, an executive director of elementary education in the...
OBJECTIVE: [(11)C]Flumazenil ([(11)C]FMZ) positron emission tomography (PET) can be used as a measure of neuronal loss. The purpose of this study was to validate reference tissue kinetic modelling of [(11)C]FMZ PET within a...
Abstract: Measurements of CP observables in B± → D(*)K± and B± → D(*)π± decays are presented, where D(∗) indicates a neutral D or D∗ meson that is an admixture of meson and anti-meson states. Decays of the D(∗) meson to the Dπ0...
Observational studies suggest that vitamin D deficiency is associated with higher risk of pain. However, evidence on the effect of vitamin D supplementation on pain is limited and contradictory. The aim of this study was to...
Tim Daugherty, an associate professor of psychology in the College of Arts and Sciences, will replace Marilyn Smith, a professor of business administration who has served since 2002. He will become the faculty chair in July...
Vitamin D is an essential nutrient for bone health and may influence the risks of respiratory illness, adverse pregnancy outcomes, and chronic diseases of adulthood. Because many countries have a relatively low supply of foods...
A search for the $B^0_s \!\rightarrow D^{*\pm} D^\mp$ decay is performed
using proton-proton collision data at centre-of-mass energies of $7$, $8$ and
$13\,\text{TeV}$ collected by the LHCb experiment, corresponding to...
Measurements of $CP$ observables in $B^\pm \to D K^\pm$ and $B^\pm \to D
\pi^\pm$ decays are presented, where $D$ represents a superposition of $D^0$
and $\bar{D}^0$ states. The $D$ meson is reconstructed in the three-body...
Surfactant protein D (SP-D) is produced primarily in the lung and is involved in regulating pulmonary surfactants, lipid homeostasis and innate immunity. Circulating SP-D levels in blood are associated with chronic obstructive...
Modern ischaemic stroke management involves intravenous thrombolysis followed by mechanical thrombectomy, which allows markedly higher rates of recanalization and penumbral salvage than thrombolysis alone. However, <50% of...
The decay-time-dependent $CP$ asymmetry in $B^0 \to D^{*\pm}D^{\mp}$ decays
is measured using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of
$9$fb$^{-1}$ recorded by the LHCb detector in proton-proton collisions...
In the Maternal Vitamin D Osteoporosis Study (MAVIDOS) randomized trial, vitamin D supplementation in pregnancy did not lead to greater neonatal bone mass across the trial as a whole, but, in a prespecified secondary analysis by...
In his October 20, 2003 interview with Alan Garmendia, William D. Wolfe recollects about his time in the Navy during WWII, the Korean War, and Vietnam. Wolfe shares the details of his work in the Navy on an experimental...
