The TNF family ligands BAFF (also called BLyS) and APRIL regulate lymphocyte survival and activation. BAFF binds to three receptors, BAFF-R, TACI and BCMA, whereas APRIL interacts with TACI, BCMA and proteoglycans. The contribution of BAFF and APRIL to B-cell and plasma-cell survival, CD154 (CD40L)-
In order toevaluate fetal erythropoiesis we measured red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit, serum transferrin receptor (sTfR), and iron status parameters in fetuses undergoing percutaneous umbilical blood sampling, and in normal newborns at term. We found high levels of sTfR in fetuses and newborn
The versatile chemistry of iron and the noxious reactions this essential metal may promote have compelled iron-dependent organisms to form specific iron-binding proteins to maintain iron in soluble, nontoxic, and accessible form for cellular needs. A variety of pathways can be traversed by iron to g
