The noncollagenous domain 1 alpha 3 chain of type…

During my final semester in graphic design class, I created the design for a cat in a shirt pocket. Although it was for a class project, I instantly knew I wanted to offer my shirt design to others by making an online store. I named it Poco Pets and have been dreaming up, drawing, and planning it for the past year. Now I have come to Kickstarter to make the shirts a reality. Poco Pets shirts are pocketed tees with a variety of lovable pets chilling in the pockets. Each shirt is…

Achieving Attire Throughout this course I have had many encounters on what it means to be a good leader. Some examples would be passion, preparation, business planning, team work, motivation, and etc. However, the main lesson that really stood out to me is the importance of attire.

T cells also have effect on Natalizumab in patients with multiple sclerosis. Natalizumab is a monoclonal antibody that reduces the formation of acute lesions in the central nervous system.

The recurrence of multiple sclerosis happens when there are abnormalities in activated macrophages, CD4+ and CD8+ T cells in the central nervous system. Very-late antigen formed on surfaces of most…

inflammatory cells (Eisenstein and Williams 2009). Researching team Eisenstein and Williams divided Foxp3 expressing Tregs into two groups; ‘natural’ Treg (nTreg) cells and ‘induced’ Treg (iTreg) cells. nTreg cells are another term for CD4+ regulatory T cells and are characterized by their development in the thymus and exportation to maintain self-tolerance. This means that they are able to recognize self-peptides with low enough affinity not to be killed in the thymus during development. These…

Grains were first introduced to the human diet about 10,000 years ago in Mesopotamia. In the second century AD, Aretaeus of Cappadocia described “koiliakos” a disease of the abdomen caused by nutrition. It wasn’t until 1888 in London that S.J.
