As recent publications in N&TR highlight, 1 there is considerable debate whether e-cigarettes
act as a causal gateway to subsequent smoking in adolescents. Answering this question …

In humans, the monocyte pool comprises three subsets (classical, intermediate, and
nonclassical) that circulate in dynamic equilibrium. The kinetics underlying their generation, …

Adaptive immunity requires the generation of memory T cells from naive precursors selected
in the thymus. The key intermediaries in this process are stem cell-like memory T (T SCM ) …

Aberrant transcriptional programs in combination with abnormal proliferative signaling drive
leukemic transformation. These programs operate in normal hematopoiesis where they are …

Adaptive immunity relies on the generation and maintenance of memory T cells to provide
protection against repeated antigen exposure. It has been hypothesised that a self-renewing …

Current approaches in tissue engineering are geared toward generating tissue-specific stem
cells. Given the complexity and heterogeneity of tissues, this approach has its limitations. …

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is predominantly transmitted between persons who inject drugs. For
this population, global prevalence of HCV infection is high and incarceration is common and …

Cell function is regulated by the spatiotemporal organization of the signaling machinery,
and a key facet of this is molecular clustering. Here, we present a protocol for the analysis of …

Killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptors (KIRs) are expressed predominantly on natural
killer cells, where they play a key role in the regulation of innate immune responses. Recent …

We consider two semiclassical extensions of the Laguerre weight and their associated sets
of orthogonal polynomials. These polynomials satisfy a three-term recurrence relation. We …
