The temporal requirement of IL-4Rα signalling in allergic asthma and the role of IL-4Rα-responsive Regulatory T cells in restraining allergic airway inflammation
Allergic asthma is a chronic inflammatory airway disease driven predominantly by a TH2 immune response to environmental allergens. The asthma pathology is predominantly elicited by IL-4 and IL-13 signalling via IL-4Rα-signalling which is essential for driving TH2-type immunity to allergens. …

Applying Weighting Biases in Cognitive Energetics Theory to Behavior Change
… individuals’ consideration of “driving” and “restraining” forces in a given health decision and whether those forces (i.e. goal importance, available resources (physical or mental energy), task demands, the pull of competing goals) would be influenced by an individual’s tendency to focus on …
