In HIV-infected individuals receiving suppressive antiretroviral therapy, the virus persists indefinitely in a reservoir of latently infected cells.The proliferation of these cells may contribute to the stability of the reservoir and thus to the lifelong persistence of HIV-1 in infected individuals.Because the HIV-1 replication process is highly er
Tick-borne haemoparasite Babesia gibsoni has been detected rarely in cats, in surveys of apparently healthy glassware animals.In stored blood from a 6-year-old male-neutered domestic shorthair cat in Hong Kong, B.gibsoni DNA was detected retrospectively using PCR for Babesia spp.18S rRNA and mitochondrial cytochrome B genes, followed by sequencing
An multi-polar fuzzy set is a robust mathematical model to examine multipolar, multiattribute, and multi-index data.The multi-polar fuzzy sets was created as a useful mechanism to portray uncertainty in multiattribute decision making.In this article, we SOFA consider the theoretical applications of multi-polar fuzzy sets.We present the notion of mu
Background Intratumoral heterogeneity (ITH) and subclonal antigen expression blunt antitumor immunity and are associated with poor responses to immune-checkpoint blockade immunotherapy (ICB) in patients with cancer.The underlying mechanisms however thus far remained elusive, preventing the design of novel treatment approaches for patients with high
BackgroundHigh dietary quality can protect against diet-related chronic diseases.In the United States, racial and ethnic minorities and those with lower incomes consistently exhibit lower dietary quality.Independently-owned restaurants are a common prepared food source in minority low-income communities, but there are significant knowledge gaps on
