AbstractPeriodontitis is a complex inflammatory disease in which the host genome, in conjunction with extrinsic factors, determines susceptibility and progression. Genetic predisposition is the strongest risk factor in the first decades of life. As people age, chronic exposure to the periodontal microbiome puts a strain on the proper maintenance of ...

Abstract Background and Objectives Granulocyte transfusions may benefit patients with neutropaenia and life‐threatening infections unresponsive to antimicrobial therapies. Current aphaeresis‐based granulocyte concentrate (GC) production requires donor stimulation and hydroxyethyl starch (HES), which raises safety and supply concerns.

Immune system benefits of pulmonary rehabilitation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Abstract Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a respiratory disease characterized by pulmonary and systemic inflammation. Inflammatory mediators show relationships with shortness of breath, exercise intolerance and health related quality of life. Pulmonary rehabilitation (PR), a comprehensive education and exercise training programme, is the

Ultrastructure of astrocytes using volume electron microscopy: A scoping review
Abstract figure legend A complete overview on astrocyte ultrastructure with volume electron microscopy. The morphology of astrocytes under physiological and pathological conditions plays a role in brain homeostasis, synaptic activity and structural support, but their morphological complexity and heterogeneity are still poorly quantified.

Modeling angiogenesis under Robin boundary conditions
Abstract In this study, we show an example of a numerical model based on the Keller–Segel system of equations to simulate angiogenesis in response to chemotaxis under Robin boundary conditions, which represent the presence of flux at the tumor. Different parameters of the model are modified to identify key biological factors relevant to the behavior of

Understanding the development of bacterial colony: Physiology, new technology, and modeling
Abstract Bacterial colonies, as dynamic ecosystems, display intricate behaviors and organizational structures that profoundly influence their survival and functionality. These communities engage in physiological and social interactions, resulting in remarkable spatial heterogeneity.
