Elevated plasma CXCL12 alpha is associated with a poorer prognosis in pulmonary arterial hypertension.
Recent work in preclinical models suggests that signalling via the pro-angiogenic and proinflammatory
cytokine, CXCL12 (SDF-1), plays an important pathogenic role in pulmonary
hypertension (PH). The objective of this study was to establish whether circulating concentrations
of CXCL12α were elevated in patients with PAH and related to mortalit
Cosmology with the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna
254 pags:, 44 figs.The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) has two scientific objectives of cosmological focus: to probe the expansion rate of the universe, and to understand stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds and their implications for early universe and particle physics, from the MeV to the Planck scale. However, the range of potential cosmological applications of gravitational-wave observations extends well beyond these two objectives. This publication presents a summary of the state of the art in LISA cosmology, theory and methods, and identifies new opportunities to use gravitational-wave observations by LISA to probe the universe.This work is partly supported by: A.G.
