Interpretation of the "$f_{D_s}$ puzzle" in SM and beyond (2009)

Wei, Zheng-Tao, Ke, Hong-Wei, Yang, Xiao-Feng

The recent measurement on the decay constant of $D_s$ shows a discrepancy between theory and experiment. We study the leptonic and semileptonic decays of $D$ and $D_s$ simultaneously within the...

CML66, a broadly immunogenic tumor antigen, elicits a humoral immune response associated with remission of chronic myelogenous leukemia

Yang, Xiao-Feng, Wu, Catherine J., McLaughlin, Stephen, Chillemi, Antoinette, Wang, Kathy S., Canning, Christine, ...

This report describes a tumor-associated antigen, termed CML66, initially cloned from a chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) cDNA expression library. CML66 encodes a 583-aa protein with a molecular...

Local Cooling: A Therapy for Intractable Neocortical Epilepsy

Rothman, Steven, Yang, Xiao-Feng

Therapy for many of the neocortical epilepsies remains unsatisfactory. Recent research has demonstrated that focal cooling, using thermoelectric (Peltier) devices, may be capable of terminating, or...

Detection of a potent humoral response associated with immune-induced remission of chronic myelogenous leukemia

Wu, Catherine J., Yang, Xiao-Feng, McLaughlin, Stephen, Neuberg, Donna, Canning, Christine, Stein, Brady, ...

The effectiveness of donor-lymphocyte infusion (DLI) for treatment of relapsed chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation is a clear demonstration of the...

Is decompressive craniectomy for malignant middle cerebral artery infarction of any worth?*

Yang, Xiao-feng, Yao, Yu, Hu, Wei-wei, Li, Gu, Xu, Jin-fang, Zhao, Xue-qun, ...

Objective: Malignant middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction is characterized by mortality rate of up to 80%. The aim of this study was to determine the value of decompressive craniectomy in patients...

Bcl-xL inhibits T-cell apoptosis induced by expression of SARS coronavirus E protein in the absence of growth factors

Yang, Yu, Xiong, Zeyu, Zhang, Sheng, Yan, Yan, Nguyen, Justin, Ng, Bernard, ...

One of the hallmark findings in patients suffering from SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome) is lymphopenia, which is the result of massive lymphocyte death. SARS-CoV (SARS coronavirus), a novel...

Cooling blocks rat hippocampal neurotransmission by a presynaptic mechanism: observations using 2-photon microscopy

Yang, Xiao-Feng, Ouyang, Yannan, Kennedy, Bryan R, Rothman, Steven M

Over the past decade there has been great interest in the therapeutic potential of brain cooling for epilepsy, stroke, asphyxia and other neurological diseases. However, there is still no consensus...

Leptin inhibits 4-aminopyridine– and pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures and AMPAR-mediated synaptic transmission in rodents

Xu, Lin, Rensing, Nicholas, Yang, Xiao-Feng, Zhang, Hai Xia, Thio, Liu Lin, Rothman, Steven M., ...

Leptin is a hormone that reduces excitability in some hypothalamic neurons via leptin receptor activation of the JAK2 and PI3K intracellular signaling pathways. We hypothesized that leptin receptor...

T Cell Costimulation through CD28 Depends on Induction of the Bcl-xγ Isoform: Analysis of Bcl-xγ–deficient Mice

Ye, Qunrui, Press, Barry, Kissler, Stephan, Yang, Xiao-Feng, Lu, Linrong, Bassing, Craig H., ...

The molecular basis of CD28-dependent costimulation of T cells is poorly understood. Bcl-xγ is a member of the Bcl-x family whose expression is restricted to activated T cells and requires...
