Distinct plasmablast developmental intermediates produce graded expression of IgM secretory transcripts by Evelyn P. Sievert, Marissa C. Franke, Kayla B. Thomas, Yoseop Yoon, Yongsheng Shi, Roger Sciammas

“…Summary: Differentiation into plasma cells (PCs) enables secretion of ∼10,000 immunoglobulin molecules per second. This extraordinary capacity requires the upregulation of PC transcriptional determinants that specify PC fate, increase immunoglobulin mRNA synthesis, coordinate alternative 3′ end processing of the heavy chain transcript from the distal to proximal polyadenylation site (PAS), and remodel the secretory pathway. …”

Neurocranial Pharmacodialysis Device for subarachnoid hemorrhage treatment—a perspective by Nandor Ludvig

“…The RESULTS showed the following four facts: (1) high-grade SAH requiring decompressive craniectomy readily offers, as the last step of the neurosurgical procedure, the safe closure of the opened cranium with the NPD while leaving the efficacy of the decompressive intervention intact. (2) The neurocranially attached NPD can automatically execute, as long as it is necessary, subarachnoid polypharmacy to prevent post-SAH vasospasm, reduce the risk of rebleeding, and provide neuroprotection in delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI), bypassing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) via connected subarachnoid strips. (3) These effects of drug delivery can be optimized with NPD-controlled long-term cleaning of the CSF and drainage of cellular debris, hydrocephalus, and interstitial edema accompanied by the subarachnoid dialysis of potentially neurotoxic extracellular molecules. (4) Safety and efficacy of these NPD operations are monitored, and possible epileptiform EEG is detected, via the wireless EEG system of the device. …”
