Immunoregulatory Profile of Monocytes from Cutaneous Leishmaniasis Patients and Association with Lesion Size
We evaluated peripheral blood CD14+ monocytes for the expression of immunoregulatory cytokines, co-stimulatory molecules and TLR9 from cutaneous leishmaniasis patients infected with L. braziliensis and noninfected individuals.

Scanning Gate Microscopy of Localized States in Wide Graphene Constrictions
We use a scanning gate microscope to probe a short, wide graphene constriction and observe a set of ring-shaped resonances in maps of the graphene conductance as a function of…

Discovery of a Splicing Regulator Required for Cell Cycle Progression
Here we describe a new G1 mutant from an ancient family of apicomplexan protozoans. Toxoplasma gondii temperature-sensitive mutant 12-109C6 conditionally arrests in the G1 phase due to a single point mutation in…

Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Variation and Response to Smoking Cessation Therapies
Objective: To evaluate the association of nAChR single nucleotide polymorphism with abstinence in trials of smoking cessation therapies.
-
The Twin Research Registry at SRI International
Twins in the TRR have participated in studies of complex, clinically relevant phenotypes that would not be feasible to measure in larger samples.
