On the crossroad between tolerance and posttransplant lymphoma. [PDF]
, 1997 The role of the Epstein-Barr virus in the development of post-transplant lymphomas is well established. However, not all lymphomas that arise in these patients contain Epstein-Barr virus, suggesting that other cofactors are involved in tumor pathogenesis.

Hematopoietic (stem) cells—The elixir of life?
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The aging of HSCs (hematopoietic stem cells) and the blood system leads to the decline of other organs. Rejuvenating aged HSCs improves the function of the blood system, slowing the aging of the heart, kidney, brain, and liver, and the occurrence of age‐related diseases.

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.

Corticosterone selectively decreases humoral immunity in female eiders during incubation
, 2007 Immunity is hypothesized to share limited resources with other physiological functions and this may partly account for the fitness costs of reproduction.

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 ...

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

The Caenorhabditis elegans DPF‐3 and human DPP4 have tripeptidyl peptidase activity
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.The dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPPIV) family comprises serine proteases classically defined by their ability to remove dipeptides from the N‐termini of substrates, a feature that gave the family its name. Here, we report the discovery of a previously unrecognized tripeptidyl peptidase activity in DPPIV family members from two different species.

The association between the immune system and malignancy : a brief review [PDF]
, 2012 The immune system has evolved to protect the host from a universe of pathogenic microbes and eliminate toxic substances from the body. It is an interactive network of lymphoid organs, cells, humoral factors, and cytokines.

Innate immunity, assessed by plasma NO measurements, is not suppressed during the incubation fast in eiders [PDF]
, 2006 Immunity is hypothesized to share limited resources with other physiological functions and may mediate life history trade-offs, for example between reproduction and survival.
