The complex structural organization of the white matter of the brain can be depicted in vivo in
great detail with advanced diffusion magnetic resonance (MR) imaging schemes. Diffusion …

To summarize, it is possible that T cell activation in the plaque has four different effects: a
direct inhibition of smooth muscle proliferation mediated by IFN-gamma, an indirect stimulation …

Mitochondrial changes are frequently encountered in sporadic inclusion-body myositis (s-IBM).
Cytochrome c oxidase (COX)-deficient muscle fibers and large-scale mitochondrial DNA (…

It was recently shown that the human atherosclerotic plaque contains significant amounts of
T lymphocytes, and also that smooth muscle cells in these plaques express class II MHC (Ia) …

… A mixture of 500 ^l of a suspension of the isolated plaque cells (1 to 2 x 10s cells/ml), 200
fi\ fetal bovine serum (Flow Lab, Irvine, Scotland), and 10 drops of the erythrocyte suspension …

Several approaches have been used to trace axonal trajectories from diffusion MRI data. If
such techniques were first developed in a deterministic framework reducing the diffusion …

A large proportion of the cells of the human atherosclerotic plaque is assumed to be derived
from medial smooth muscle cells. In contrast to these, the cells of the plaque have the …

Studies have shown that aerobic exercise has the potential to improve cognition and reduce
brain atrophy in older adults. However, the literature is equivocal with regards to the …

Atherosclerosis is characterized by chronic inflammation involving autoimmune components.
The degree of inflammatory activity, as detectable both within the atherosclerotic plaque …

… In control rats, 1'l% of all cells expressed the leukocyte-specific antigen, leukocyte common
antigen, and 0.3% of the cells could be identified as T cells using the W3/13 antibody (Fig. 4), …
