A stochastic individual-based model to explore the role of spatial interactions and antigen recognition in the immune response against solid tumours [PDF]
Spatial interactions between cancer and immune cells, as well as the recognition of tumour antigens by cells of the immune system, play a key role in the immune response against solid tumours. The existing mathematical models generally focus only on one of these key aspects.

miRNA‐29 regulates epidermal and mesenchymal functions in skin repair
miRNA‐29 inhibits cell‐to‐cell and cell‐to‐matrix adhesion by silencing mRNA targets. Adhesion is controlled by complex interactions between many types of molecules coded by mRNAs. This is crucial for keeping together the layers of the skin and for regenerating the skin after wounding.

Adsorption of organochlorinated pesticides: Adsorption kinetic and adsorption isotherm study
Adsorption of organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) on 4 contrasted activated carbons (ACs) and biochars (BCs) and 5 different basic substances of soil organic matter (SOM) in aqueous media was investigated using adsorption kinetic and isotherm study.

Integrating influenza antigenic dynamics with molecular evolution [PDF]
Influenza viruses undergo continual antigenic evolution allowing mutant viruses to evade host immunity acquired to previous virus strains. Antigenic phenotype is often assessed through pairwise measurement of cross-reactivity between influenza strains using the hemagglutination inhibition (HI) assay.

Interaction extracellular vesicles (iEVs) are hybrid vesicles formed through host‐pathogen communication. They facilitate immune evasion, transfer pathogens' molecules, increase host cell uptake, and enhance virulence. This Perspective article illustrates the multifunctional roles of iEVs and highlights their emerging relevance in infection dynamics ...

Identification of Novel Serodiagnostic Signatures of Typhoid Fever Using a Salmonella Proteome Array
Current diagnostic tests for typhoid fever, the disease caused by Salmonella Typhi, are poor. We aimed to identify serodiagnostic signatures of typhoid fever by assessing microarray signals to 4,445 S.

Alloimmunization in dogs after transfusion: A serial cross‐match study
Background Cross‐matching is performed to determine the serological compatibility of donor and recipient blood. Current guidelines recommend that cross‐matching should be performed in dogs when an initial transfusion was performed more than 4 days ago or

Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) accounts for half of the heart failure cases. It is characterised by microvascular dysfunction, associated with reduced pericyte coverage and diminished STAT3 expression in pericytes. Loss of STAT3 impairs pericyte adhesion, promotes senescence, and activates a pro‐fibrotic gene program.

Utilization of Polyspecific Antiserum for Specific Radioimmunoassays: Radioimmunoassays for Rat Fetuin and Bikunin Were Developed by Using Antiserum Against Total Rat Serum Proteins [PDF]
Polyspecific antiserum against total rat serum proteins was used to develop specific and sensitive radioimmunoassays for fetuin and bikunin, two minor protein components of rat plasma. The radioimmunoassays proved to be highly useful to trace bikunin and
