Various genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been done in ischaemic stroke, identifying a few loci associated with the disease, but sample sizes have been 3500 cases or less. We established the METASTROKE collaboration with the aim of validating associations from previous GWAS and identifying novel genetic associations through meta-analysis of GWAS datasets for ischaemic stroke and its subtypes.
A saponina QS21 é uma saponina natural extraída da casca das árvores endémicas da América do Sul conhecida por desempenhar um papel importante como adjuvante de vacinas. O objectivo deste estudo foi determinar se os análogos sintéticos mais simples da QS-21 podem induzir respostas imunes com igual vantagem. Para isso, foram desenhados e sintetizados os ácidos 3-ß -O-(ß -D-xilopiranosil)-(1? 3)-[(ß -D-galacto...
QS21 is a natural saponin extracted with water from the bark of endemic trees of South America which has been shown to play a key role as vaccine adjuvant. The aim of this study was to determine if simpler synthetic analogues of QS-21 could induce similar advantageous immune responses. For this purpose we designed and synthesized both the cholestanyl- and amirinyl-3-β-O-(β-D-xylopyranosyl)-(1 →3)-[(β-D-galactop...
