The generation of large immune gene families is often driven by evolutionary pressure exerted on host genomes by their pathogens, which has been described as the immunological arms race.The SpTransformer (SpTrf) gene family from the California purple sea urchin, Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, is upregulated upon immune challenge and encodes the SpT
Episodes of inflammation and pain are predominant features of arthritic joint diseases.Drug delivery systems (DDS) could reduce inflammation and pain long-term without chances of infection upon multiple injections.To allow for long-term evaluation of DDS, we modified a previously published acute arthritis model by Skirt extending follow-up periods
