Recent discoveries implicate the classical complement cascade in normal brain development
and in disease. Complement proteins C1q, C3, and C4 participate in synapse elimination, …

Cells, the basic units of biological structure and function, vary broadly in type and state.
Single-cell genomics can characterize cell identity and function, but limitations of ease and scale …

A diversity of plant-associated organisms secrete effectors—proteins and metabolites that
modulate plant physiology to favor host infection and colonization. However, effectors can also …

Schizophrenia is a heritable brain illness with unknown pathogenic mechanisms.
Schizophrenia’s strongest genetic association at a population level involves variation in the major …

Elicitins are structurally conserved extracellular proteins in Phytophthora and Pythium oomycete
pathogen species. They were first described in the late 1980s as abundant proteins in …

We present predictions of random cascading models for multiparticle production at high
energy. Standard and correlated factorial moments in rapidity are shown to provide stringent …

Immune molecules, including complement proteins C1q and C3, have emerged as critical
mediators of synaptic refinement and plasticity. Complement localizes to synapses and refines …

It is proposed to study the dependence of factorial moments of the rapidity distribution on the
size δy of the resolution. It is shown that if the fluctuations are purely statistical no variation …

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an incurable autoimmune disease characterized by
autoantibody deposition in tissues such as kidney, skin and lungs. Notably, up to 75% of …

This manuscript contains a detailed description of the PHOBOS experiment as it is configured
for the Year 2001 running period. It is capable of detecting charged particles over the full …
