The critical role of IL-23 receptor positive T cells in the pathogenesis of anterior uveitis associated with spondyloarthropathy by Hedley, R

“…However, many patients with SpA may have extra-articular manifestations within the skin and gut. Pathology of SpA in all of these tissues has been shown in recent studies to be driven by local resident populations of interleukin (IL)-23 responsive cells. …”

The embodied, relational self: extending or rejecting the mind? by Gough, J

“…I examine whether this is so, by considering whether the identification of self and mind can be saved by recent views of the mind according to which it is partly constituted by aspects of the body other than the brain and by the world beyond the skin. I argue that it cannot, before considering what this means for the mind and its relationship to selves and persons.…”

The inference-boundary model reinterpreting theme and rheme by Leong, Ping Alvin

“…The Hallidayan notions of theme and rheme pose an interesting challenge to linguists in their attempts to pin them down more specifically. This paper argues that since the thematic structure of the clause organises it as a message, a useful starting point in theme–rheme research is an understanding of how clausal messages are typically processed by language users. …”
