13. Intrinsic defect in B cells of patients with hyper-immunoglobulin M syndrome.
We challenge the theory that the CD40-CD40 ligand is the only explanation for X-linked immunodeficiency in patients with hyper-immunoglobulin M (IgM) syndrome (HIGM1), and we demonstrate an intrinsic defect in the patients' B cells. Patients with HIGM1 have a defective CD40 ligand on their activated T-helper cells; therefore, they cannot receive signals for

14. The Viral Oncogene Hypothesis: New Evidence
Recent studies, primarily with mouse, rat, and chicken cells, have provided evidence to support the concept that vertebrates contain the genetic information for producing a type-C RNA tumor virus in an unexpressed form in their somatic cells as well as in their germ cells. This information, which our associates and we postulated has been part of the genetic

15. Modulation of Titin-Based Stiffness by Disulfide Bonding in the Cardiac Titin N2-B Unique Sequence
The giant protein titin is responsible for the elasticity of nonactivated muscle sarcomeres. Titin-based passive stiffness in myocardium is modulated by titin-isoform switching and protein-kinase (PK)A- or PKG-dependent titin phosphorylation. Additional modulatory effects on titin stiffness may arise from disulfide bonding under oxidant stress, as many immun

16. Geometric visual hallucinations, Euclidean symmetry and the functional architecture of striate cortex.
This paper is concerned with a striking visual experience: that of seeing geometric visual hallucinations. Hallucinatory images were classified by Klüver into four groups called form constants comprising (i) gratings, lattices, fretworks, filigrees, honeycombs and chequer-boards, (ii) cobwebs, (iii) tunnels, funnels, alleys, cones and vessels, and (iv) spir
