Buying influence? The international diplomacy behind donor financing of the World Bank’s International Development Association by Xu, J

“…Finally, the research examines whether a hegemon violating the ‘fairness’ principle by shirking obligations but pursuing undue influence will face secondary states willing to take ‘exit/voice’ measures to restore an implicit contribution-to-influence equity line; and whether such countermeasures would be postponed if secondary states are structurally dependent upon the hegemon and/or lack viable outside options. …”

Increased interleukin-6 correlates with myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibodies in pediatric monophasic demyelinating diseases and multiple sclerosis by Horellou, P, Wang, M, Keo, V, Chrétien, P, Serguera, C, Waters, P, Deiva, K

“…MOG antibody titers in plasma were tested by flow cytometry using a stable cell line expressing full-length human MOG. We found a significant increase in C5a levels in the CSF of patients with monophasic ADS (n=17) compared to OND (n=12, p=0.0036) and to MS (n=17, p=0.0371). …”

Interaction-mediating sequences within class I viral fusion glycoproteins : their roles in viral infection and in applications by Zhang, Simin

“…These putative self-binding peptides contain five core octapeptide consensus sequences, among which the octapeptide GINITNFR was predicted to form β-zipper-mediated amyloid-like fibrils. The peptide C6 containing this sequence was subsequently shown to oligomerize and form amyloid-like fibrils. …”
