During T cell-B cell collaboration, plasma cell (PC) differentiation and Ig production are
known to require T cell-derived soluble factors. However, the exact nature of the cytokines …

In the debate between expertise and domain-specific explanations of “special” processing
for faces, a common belief is that behavioural studies support the expertise hypothesis. The …

It is widely agreed that the human face is processed differently from other objects. However
there is a lack of consensus on what is meant by a wide array of terms used to describe this “…

Both constitutive Ig secretion by long-lived plasma cells (PC) and the recurrent differentiation
