A statistical mechanics approach to autopoietic immune networks [PDF]
, 2010 The aim of this work is to try to bridge over theoretical immunology and disordered statistical mechanics. Our long term hope is to contribute to the development of a quantitative theoretical immunology from which practical applications may stem. In order to make theoretical immunology appealing to the statistical physicist audience we are going to ...

Free Radical Scavenging and Cytotoxic Activities of Substituted Pyrimidines [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 A library of substituted pyrimidines was synthesized and evaluated for free radical scavenging, and in vitro cytotoxic activity in 3T3 cells. All compounds showed good free radical scavenging activity with IC50 values in the range of 42.9 + 0.31 to 438.3 3.3 {\mu}M as compared to the standard butylated hydroxytoluene having IC50 value of 128.83 2.

Brake wear (nano)particle characterization and toxicity on airway epithelial cells in vitro [PDF]
Environmental Science: Nano 5, 1036 - 1044 (2018), 2018 Particulate air pollution results from different sources, among which those related to road traffic have a significant impact on human health. Combustion-derived particles emitted by thermal engines have been incriminated and are now better controlled.

Comparison Study for Clonal Selection Algorithm and Genetic Algorithm [PDF]
International Journal of Computer Science & Information Technology
(IJCSIT) Vol 4, No 4, August 2012 pp 107-118, 2012 Two metaheuristic algorithms namely Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) and Genetic Algorithms are classified as computational systems inspired by theoretical immunology and genetics mechanisms. In this work we examine the comparative performances of two algorithms.

Asian Pacific Journal of Allergy and Immunology, 2018 BACKGROUND Natural killer (NK) cells are crucial components of the innate immune system, providing the first line of defense against pathogens. In a previous study, we demonstrated prophylactic activity of water extract of Korean mistletoe (Viscum album ...

Synthesis, characterization, and biological evaluation of gelatin-based scaffolds [PDF]
arXiv, 2011 This thesis presents the development of entropy-elastic gelatin based networks in the form of films or scaffolds. The materials have good prospects for biomedical applications, especially in the context of bone regeneration. Entropy-elastic gelatin based hydrogel films with varying crosslinking densities were prepared with tailored mechanical ...

Dynamic causal modelling of immune heterogeneity [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 An interesting inference drawn by some Covid-19 epidemiological models is that there exists a proportion of the population who are not susceptible to infection -- even at the start of the current pandemic. This paper introduces a model of the immune response to a virus.
