Multiwavelength Constraints on the Local Black Hole Occupation Fraction by Colin J. Burke, Priyamvada Natarajan, Vivienne F. Baldassare, Marla Geha

“…We also constrain the extremely low-luminosity end ( L _bol ≲ 10 ^40 erg s ^−1 ) of the active galactic nucleus (AGN) luminosity functions at z = 0. Our AGN luminosity functions are broadly consistent with an extrapolation of the shallow slope of the AGN luminosity functions from previous work.…”

Complexity of immunobiology of tumor necrosis factor and novel anti-TNF therapy by S. А. Nedospasov

“…Systemic anti-cytokine therapy is known to be accompanied by undesirable side effects, which can hypothetically be explained by the neutralization of these protective functions. Thus, we developed prototypes of TNF blockers which limit the bioavailability of this cytokine only from its main “pathogenic” source – myeloid cells. …”
