B cell specificity and pattern in primary Sjögren’s syndrome - Studies in humans and a murine model
(Doctoral thesis, 2014-04-30)Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterised by focal inflammation of exocrine glands, particularly salivary and lacrimal glands. Here, mononuclear cells, including B cells, infiltrate the glands, ... -
B cells and autoantibodies in AIRE deficiency
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS-1) is a rare but severe monogenetic autoimmune endocrine disease caused by failure of the Autoimmune Regulator (AIRE). AIRE regulates the negative selection of T cells in the ... -
B vitamin and iron status during infancy
(Doctoral thesis, 2015-01-30)Adequate nutrition during infancy is essential to ensure normal growth and development. Since 2001, World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended exclusive breast-feeding for the first 6 months of life, which puts great ... -
B vitamin treatments modify the risk of myocardial infarction associated with a MTHFD1 polymorphism in patients with stable angina pectoris
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-06)Background: Methylenetetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (MTHFD1) catalyzes three sequential reactions that metabolize derivatives of tetrahydrofolate (THF) in folate-dependent one-carbon metabolism. Impaired MTHFD1 flux has ... -
B-chromatic number: Beyond NP-hardness
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015)The b-chromatic number of a graph G, chi_b(G), is the largest integer k such that G has a k-vertex coloring with the property that each color class has a vertex which is adjacent to at least one vertex in each of the other ... -
b-Coloring Parameterized by Clique-Width
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)We provide a polynomial-time algorithm for b-Coloring on graphs of constant clique-width. This unifies and extends nearly all previously known polynomial-time results on graph classes, and answers open questions posed by ... -

(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)We provide a polynomial-time algorithm for b- Coloring on graphs of constant clique-width. This unifies and extends nearly all previously known polynomial time results on graph classes, and answers open questions posed by ... -
The B-lymphocyte chemokine CXCL13 in the cerebrospinal fluid of children with Lyme neuroborreliosis: associations with clinical and laboratory variables
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: The B-lymphocyte chemokine CXCL13 is increasingly considered as a useful early phase diagnostic marker of Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB). However, the large variation in level of CXCL13 in the cerebrospinal fluid ... -
B-type natriuretic peptide and high sensitive C-reactive protein predict 2-year all cause mortality in chest pain patients: a prospective observational study from Salta, Argentina
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2011-09-29)Background: Several mechanisms are involved in the pathophysiology of the Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). We have addressed whether B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP) in admission ... -
B-type natriuretic peptide expression and cardioprotection is regulated by Akt dependent signaling at early reperfusion
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-04)Exogenously administered B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) has been shown to offer cardioprotection through activation of particulate guanylyl cyclase (pGC), protein kinase G (PKG) and KATP channel opening. The current study ... -
B-vitamin Treatment Modifies the Mortality Risk Associated with Calcium Channel Blockers in Patients with Suspected Stable Angina Pectoris: A Prospective Cohort Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Background Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are used for the treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD), including angina pectoris, and hypertension; however, the effect on survival remains uncertain. CCBs impair fibrinolysis ... -
