Background: Available assays to measure pox virus neutralizing antibody titers are laborious and take up to 5 days. In addition, assays to measure T cell responses require the use of specific antigens, which may not be the same for all pox viruses. This study reports the development of robust assays for the measurement of mpox-specific neutralizing antibodies and IFN-γ-producing T-cell responses.

Background: The majority of functional ischemia tests in patients with suspected chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) yield normal results. Implementing gatekeepers for patient preselection, such as pretest probability (PTP) and/or coronary artery calcium score (CACS), could reduce the number of normal scan results, radiation exposure and costs. However, the efficacy and safety of these approaches remain unclear.

The mid-dorsolateral prefrontal cortical region (areas 46 and 9/46) is critical for the monitoring of information in working memory both in the macaque monkey brain and the human brain. The presence of this cytoarchitectonic region in the New World marmoset brain was in debate, but recent anatomical evidence demonstrated a limited area 46. This finding raised the question of the extent to which the marmoset brain can support the cognitive control process of monitoring information within working memory.

Background: Despite clinical suspicion, most non-invasive ischemia tests for coronary artery disease (CAD) reveal unremarkable results. Patients with a coronary artery calcium score (CACS) of zero rarely have an abnormal positron emission tomography (PET) and could be deferred from further testing. However, most patients have some extent of coronary calcification.

Background: Neutrophils play a crucial role in inflammation and in the increased thrombotic risk in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs). We have investigated how neutrophil-specific expression of JAK2-V617F or CALRdel re-programs the functions of neutrophils.
Methods: Ly6G-Cre JAK2-V617F and Ly6G-Cre CALRdel mice were generated.
