PLoS ONE, 2022 Microbial mimicry of the host proteins/peptides can elicit host auto-reactive T- or B-cells resulting in autoimmune disease(s). Since intrinsically disordered protein regions (IDPRs) are involved in several host cell signaling and PPI networks, molecular

Assessing Müllerian mimicry in North American bumble bees using human perception
Scientific Reports, 2022 Despite the broad recognition of mimicry among bumble bees, distinct North American mimicry rings have yet to be defined, due in part to the prevalence of intermediate and imperfect mimics in this region.

Rapid mimicry and emotional contagion in domestic dogs [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2015 Emotional contagion is a basic form of empathy that makes individuals able to experience others’ emotions. In human and non-human primates, emotional contagion can be linked to facial mimicry, an automatic and fast response (less than 1 s) in which ...

The interplay between viral molecular mimicry and host chromatin dynamics
Nucleus, 2023 Molecular mimicry is a commonly used mechanism by viruses to manipulate host cellular machinery and coordinate their life cycles. While histone mimicry is well studied, viruses also employ other mimicry strategies to affect chromatin dynamics.

Brain Sciences, 2023 Emotional mimicry plays a vital role in understanding others’ emotions and has been found to be modulated by social contexts, especially group membership. However, the neural mechanisms underlying this modulation remain unclear.

Ecological and evolutionary processes drive the origin and maintenance of imperfect mimicry. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Although the forces behind the evolution of imperfect mimicry remain poorly studied, recent hypotheses suggest that relaxed selection on small-bodied individuals leads to imperfect mimicry.

Behavioral Sciences, 2023 Background: Emotional mimicry, a phenomenon frequently observed in our everyday interactions, is the act of replicating another individual’s facial expression. The Emotion Mimicry in Context View and the Correction Hypothesis underscore the critical role

Semiotic modeling of mimicry with reference to brood parasitism
Sign Systems Studies, 2010 Biological mimicry can be considered as having a double-layered structure: there is a layer of ecological relations between species and there is a layer of semiotic relations of the sign. The present article demonstrates the limitations of triadic models

Understanding the role of the 'self' in the social priming of mimicry. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 People have a tendency to unconsciously mimic other's actions. This mimicry has been regarded as a prosocial response which increases social affiliation.

An In Vitro Model of Gastric Inflammation and Treatment with Cobalamin
International Journal of Inflammation, 2017 Pernicious anaemia (PA) is an autoimmune condition where antibodies target intrinsic factor and parietal cells, reducing the patient’s ability to absorb cobalamin promoting atrophic gastritis.
