Antibody-Dependent Enhancement of Viral Infections [PDF]
, 2020 Antiviral antibodies constitute an important component of the host immune response against viral infections and serve to neutralize and reduce infectivity of the virus. However, these antibodies, intended to protect the host, may sometimes prove beneficial to the virus, by facilitating viral entry and replication in the target cell.

Modeling the mechanisms of antibody mixtures in viral infections: the cases of sequential homologous and heterologous dengue infections [PDF]
arXivAntibodies play an essential role in the immune response to viral infections, vaccination, or antibody therapy. Nevertheless, they can be either protective or harmful during the immune response. Moreover, competition or cooperation between mixed antibodies can enhance or reduce this protective or harmful effect. Using the laws of chemical reactions, we

The Regulation of Trace Metal Elements in Cancer Ferroptosis
Advanced Biology, EarlyView.The induction of ferroptosis inhibits tumor growth, enhances anticancer efficacy, and overcomes drug resistance. Recent evidence shows nonferrous metal elements play a role in ferroptosis. This review focuses on how trace metals regulate ferroptosis processes like iron accumulation, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant defense.

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.Volumetric muscle loss (VML) due to trauma or surgery, often leads to physical impairments. Traditional treatments rely on autologous flaps, limited by muscle availability often leading to donor site morbidity. This study presents multimodal bioprinting as an innovative approach for fabricating vascularized muscle flaps with 3D‐printed macrovessels ...

The Role of Antibody and Complement in the Control of Viral Infections.
Journal of Investigative Dermatology, 1984 Host defense against viral infection is extremely complex and includes both humoral and cellular immune mechanisms. This contribution examines the mechanisms by which antibody (Ab) and the complement (C) system, major constituents of the humoral immune system, inactivate viruses and block viral maturation in virus-infected cells in vitro.

Diversity against adversity: How adaptive immunity evolves potent antibodies [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 How does immune system evolve functional proteins - potent antibodies - in such a short time? We address this question using a microscopic, protein-level, sequence-based model of humoral immune response with explicitly defined interactions between Immunoglobulins, host and pathogen proteins.
