The evolution of resistance through costly acquired immunity [PDF]
, 2004 We examine the evolutionary dynamics of resistance to parasites through acquired immunity. Resistance can be achieved through the innate mechanisms of avoidance of infection and reduced pathogenicity once infected, through recovery from infection and ...

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.In this study, we present the structure of AcrIE8.1, a previously uncharacterized anti‐CRISPR protein that inhibits the type I‐E CRISPR‐Cas system. Through a combination of structural and biochemical analyses, we demonstrate that AcrIE8.1 directly binds to the Cas11 subunit of the Cascade complex to inhibit the CRISPR‐Cas system.

Modeling Nosocomial Disease Outbreaks using a Combined Differential Equations and Agent Based-Modeling Approach [PDF]
, 2016 A nosocomial infection is an infection that a patient develops while in a hospital or healthcare related setting, also known as a hospital acquired infection (HAI).This project has two foci: firstly to model a HAI within an individual, then secondly to ...

By dawn or dusk—how circadian timing rewrites bacterial infection outcomes
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The circadian clock shapes immune function, yet its influence on infection outcomes is only beginning to be understood. This review highlights how circadian timing alters host responses to the bacterial pathogens Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogenes, and Streptococcus pneumoniae revealing that the effectiveness of immune defense depends not only

Approach to Hospital-Acquired and Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus Meningitis [PDF]
Mediterranean Journal of Infection, Microbes and Antimicrobials, 2013 Among the hospital infections, hospital-acquired central nervous system infections are quite important due to the high mortality. The pathogens that cause hospital-acquired meningitis differ according to the immune system and underlying diseases.

Can Electromagnetic Fields Modulate Inflammation and Cell Death by Acting on the Immune System?
IEEE Access, 2023 Programmed cell death constitutes a fundamental part of the immune response to viral infection. This process forms part of the host defence mechanism and also enables establishment of biomarkers of disease severity.

Trogocytosis by Entamoeba histolytica Mediates Acquisition and Display of Human Cell Membrane Proteins and Evasion of Lysis by Human Serum. [PDF]
, 2019 We previously showed that Entamoeba histolytica kills human cells through a mechanism that we termed trogocytosis ("trogo-" means "nibble"), due to its resemblance to trogocytosis in other organisms. In microbial eukaryotes like E.

Acquired disorders affecting the immune system and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma
Preventive Medicine, 1987 A case-control study was undertaken to determine whether a prior history of a variety of acquired disorders affecting the immune system was associated with an increased risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Cases were identified over a 4-year period (1976-1979) at the Johns Hopkins Hospital and individually matched to hospital controls on age, sex, race, and

Opiates, immune system, acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, and nonhuman primate model [PDF]
Journal of Neurovirology, 2008 Both human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and illicit drug addiction remain major health problems not only in the United States but all over globe. The effect of drug addiction on HIV/AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) has been somewhat underexplored.
