MYD88, IRAK3 and Rheumatoid Arthritis pathogenesis: Analysis of differential gene expression in CD14 + monocytes and the inflammatory cytokine levels. by Gomes da Silva, Isaura Isabelle Fonseca

“…CD14 + monocytes from RA patients showed lower IRAK3 expression level compared to controls although with a borderline statistical significance (Fold change (FC) = -1.63; p = 0.054). Furthermore, RA patients with high disease activity had lower levels of IRAK3 when compared to patients with low/moderate activity measured by the CDAI index (FC = -1.78; p = 0.030). …”

Influence of blending and blend morphology on the thermal properties and crystallization behaviour of PLA and PCL in PLA/PCL blends by Luyt, A.S.

“…A kinetic analysis of the crystallization of neat PCL and PCL in the blends showed that the crystallization mechanism of the neat PCL changed from instantaneous/heterogeneous nucleation and two-dimensional growth to sporadic/homogeneous nucleation and two-dimensional growth with decreasing crystallization temperature, while for PCL in the blends, the mechanism over the whole crystallization temperature range was that of instantaneous/heterogeneous nucleation and three-dimensional growth into spherulites. …”
