Impaired Autophagy of an Intracellular Pathogen Induced by a Crohn's Disease Associated ATG16L1 Variant
(Public Library of Science, 2008)The genetic risk factors predisposing individuals to the development of inflammatory bowel disease are beginning to be deciphered by genome-wide association studies. Surprisingly, these new data point towards a critical ... -
Impaired Cerebral Autoregulation Is Associated with Brain Atrophy and Worse Functional Status in Chronic Ischemic Stroke
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Dynamic cerebral autoregulation (dCA) is impaired following stroke. However, the relationship between dCA, brain atrophy, and functional outcomes following stroke remains unclear. In this study, we aimed to determine whether ... -
Impaired Cognitive Performance in Youth Athletes Exposed to Repetitive Head Impacts
(Mary Ann Liebert Inc, 2017)Worldwide, more than 22 million children and adolescents are exposed to repetitive head impacts (RHI) in soccer. Evidence indicates cumulative effects on brain structure, but it is not known whether exposure to RHI affects ... -
Impaired Distal Thermoregulation in Diabetes and Diabetic Polyneuropathy
(American Diabetes Association, 2009)Objective: To determine how thermoregulation of the feet is affected by diabetes and diabetic polyneuropathy in both wakefulness and sleep. Research Design and Methods: Normal subjects, diabetic subjects without neuropathy, ... -
Impaired Function of Peripherally Induced Regulatory T Cells in Hosts at High Risk of Graft Rejection
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are crucial for allograft survival. Tregs can be divided into thymus-derived natural Tregs (tTregs) and peripherally-derived induced Tregs (pTregs). Here, we determine whether the suppressive ... -
Impaired hepatitis C virus-specific T cell responses and recurrent hepatitis C virus in HIV coinfection
(Public Library of Science, 2006)Background: Hepatitis C virus (HCV)-specific T cell responses are critical for spontaneous resolution of HCV viremia. Here we examined the effect of a lymphotropic virus, HIV-1, on the ability of coinfected patients to ... -
Impaired infarct healing in atherosclerotic mice with Ly-6Chi monocytosis
(Elsevier, 2010)Objectives: he aim of this study was to test whether blood monocytosis in mice with atherosclerosis affects infarct healing.Background Monocytes are cellular protagonists of tissue repair, and their specific subtypes ... -
Impaired intrinsic immunity to HSV-1 in human iPSC-derived TLR3-deficient CNS cells
(2012)In the course of primary infection with herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1), children with inborn errors of TLR3 immunity are prone to HSV-1 encephalitis (HSE) 1–3. We tested the hypothesis that the pathogenesis of HSE involves ... -
Impaired lymphatic contraction associated with immunosuppression
(National Academy of Sciences, 2011)To trigger an effective immune response, antigen and antigen-presenting cells travel to the lymph nodes via collecting lymphatic vessels. However, our understanding of the regulation of collecting lymphatic vessel function ... -
Impaired neurogenesis by HIV-1-Gp120 is rescued by genetic deletion of fatty acid amide hydrolase enzyme
(John Wiley & Sons, Ltd, 2015)Background and Purpose The HIV-envelope glycoprotein Gp120 is involved in neuronal injury and is associated with neuro-AIDS pathogenesis in the brain. Endocannabinoids are important lipid ligands in the CNS regulating ... -
Impaired prefrontal synaptic gain in people with psychosis and their relatives during the mismatch negativity
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2015)Abstract The mismatch negativity (MMN) evoked potential, a preattentive brain response to a discriminable change in auditory stimulation, is significantly reduced in psychosis. Glutamatergic theories of psychosis propose ... -
Impaired RNA Incorporation and Dimerization in Live Attenuated Leader-variants of SIVmac239
(BioMed Central, 2006)Background: The 5' untranslated region (UTR) or leader sequence of simian immunodeficiency virus (SIVmac239) is multifunctional and harbors the regulatory elements for viral replication, persistence, gene translation, ... -
Impaired Thermogenesis and Adipose Tissue Development in Mice with Fat-Specific Disruption of Insulin and IGF-1 Signalling
(Nature Publishing Group, 2012)Insulin and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) play important roles in adipocyte differentiation, glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. Here, to assess how these pathways can compensate for each other, we created ... -
Impaired Thymic Export and Apoptosis Contribute to Regulatory T-Cell Defects in Patients with Chronic Heart Failure

Implant survival of the most common cemented total hip devices from the Nordic Arthroplasty Register Association database
(Taylor & Francis, 2016)Background and purpose According to previous Nordic Arthroplasty Register Association (NARA) data, the 10-year implant survival of cemented total hip arthroplasties (THAs) is 94% in patients aged 65–74 and 96% in patients ... -
Implantable Diagnostic Device for Cancer Monitoring
(Elsevier, 2009)Biopsies provide required information to diagnose cancer but, because of their invasiveness, they are difficult to use for managing cancer therapy. The ability to repeatedly sample the local environment for tumor biomarker, ... -
Implantable microcoils for intracortical magnetic stimulation
(American Association for the Advancement of Science, 2016)Neural prostheses that stimulate the neocortex have the potential to treat a wide range of neurological disorders. However, the efficacy of electrode-based implants remains limited, with persistent challenges that include ... -
Implantable microenvironments to attract hematopoietic stem/cancer cells
(National Academy of Sciences, 2012)The environments that harbor hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells are critical to explore for a better understanding of hematopoiesis during health and disease. These compartments often are inaccessible for controlled ... -
Implanted Reuptake-deficient or Wild-type Dopaminergic Neurons Improve ON L-dopa Dyskinesias Without OFF-dyskinesias in a Rat Model of Parkinson's Disease
(Oxford University Press, 2008)OFF-L-dopa dyskinesias have been a surprising side-effect of intrastriatal foetal ventral mesencephalic transplantation in patients with Parkinson's disease. It has been proposed that excessive and unregulated dopaminergic ... -
