The effects of experimental knee pain on lower limb corticospinal and motor cortex excitability.

abstract：:B-cell development is tightly regulated, including the induction of B-cell memory and antibody-secreting plasmablasts and plasma cells. In the last decade, we have expanded our understanding of effector functions of B cells as well as their roles in human autoimmune diseases. The current review addresses the role of c...
