The Symmetrical Immune Network Theory and a New HIV Vaccine Concept [PDF]
The symmetrical immune network theory is based on Jerne’s network hypothesis. An improved version of the theory is presented. The theory is characterized by symmetrical stimulatory, inhibitory and killing interactions between idiotypic and ...

Comprehensive cancer centre (CCCs) and CCCs of Excellence (CCCoE) integration in healthcare. Through outreach to surrounding community hospitals, CCCs enable wider access to top‐clinical cancer treatments and care, thereby facilitating the swift enrolment of patients into data‐rich clinical trials (PI‐initiated trials testing new concepts, drug ...

Genomics‐led approach to drug testing in models of undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma
GA text Genomic data from undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma patients and preclinical models were used to inform a targeted drug screen. Selected compounds were tested in 2D and 3D cultures of UPS cell lines. A combination of trametinib and infigratinib was synergistic in the majority of UPS cell lines tested, which was further confirmed in an ex ...

Sensory adaptation in a continuum model of bacterial chemotaxis -- working range, cost-accuracy relation, and coupled systems [PDF]
Sensory adaptation enables organisms to adjust their perception in a changing environment. A paradigm is bacterial chemotaxis, where the output activity of chemoreceptors is adapted to different baseline concentrations via receptor methylation. The range of internal receptor states limits the stimulus magnitude to which these systems can adapt.

Accuracy of direct gradient sensing by cell-surface receptors [PDF]
Chemotactic cells of eukaryotic organisms are able to accurately sense shallow chemical concentration gradients using cell-surface receptors. This sensing ability is remarkable as cells must be able to spatially resolve small fractional differences in the numbers of particles randomly arriving at cell-surface receptors by diffusion.

Discrimination vs. Generation: The Machine Learning Dichotomy for Dopaminergic Hit Discovery [PDF]
Virtual screening plays a pivotal role in early drug discovery, traditionally dominated by physics-based methods. While these approaches offer detailed insights, they are often hindered by high computational costs, limited sampling, and forcefield inaccuracies.
