2. Expression and regulation of antimicrobial peptides in mucosal immunity
Abstract : Antimicrobial polypeptides (AMPs) are effector molecules of the innate immune defense. AMPs are mainly expressed in epithelial cells and immune cells, providing the first line of defense to infection as direct antimicrobials. In addition, many AMPs display immunomodulatory functions in both the adaptive and innate immune system. READ MORE

4. Cardiovascular disease and health anxiety in patients with differentiated thyroid cancer
Abstract : Background Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) accounts for over 90% of all thyroid malignancies, and is typically treated with a total thyroidectomy and radioactive iodine (RAI) to eliminate both macro- and microscopic cancer tissue. After these procedures, patients require levothyroxine to substitute for loss of thyroid hormones. READ MORE
