Bayesian Models and Decision Algorithms for Complex Early Phase Clinical Trials [PDF]
An early phase clinical trial is the first step in evaluating the effects in humans of a potential new anti-disease agent or combination of agents. Usually called "phase I" or "phase I/II" trials, these experiments typically have the nominal scientific goal of determining an acceptable dose, most often based on adverse event probabilities.

Search and capture efficiency of dynamic microtubules for centrosome relocation during IS formation [PDF]
Upon contact with antigen presenting cells (APCs) cytotoxic T lymphocytes (T cells) establish a highly organized contact zone denoted as immunological synapse (IS). The formation of the IS implies relocation of the microtubule organizing center (MTOC) towards the contact zone, which necessitates a proper connection between MTOC and IS via dynamic ...

Smooth and probabilistic PARAFAC model with auxiliary covariates [PDF]
In immunological and clinical studies, matrix-valued time-series data clustering is increasingly popular. Researchers are interested in finding low-dimensional embedding of subjects based on potentially high-dimensional longitudinal features and investigating relationships between static clinical covariates and the embedding.

Key Points IgG fucosylation status and target cell Ag density determine NK cell ADCC. Aspecific serum IgG bound to FcγRIIIa and target cell glycocalyx limit NK cell ADCC. NK cell FcγRIIIa is preferentially occupied by high-affinity afucosylated serum IgG.

A statistical mechanics approach to autopoietic immune networks [PDF]
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]
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.

Toxin-neutralizing antibodies protect against Clostridium perfringens-induced necrosis in an intestinal loop model for bovine necrohemorrhagic enteritis [PDF]
Background: Bovine necrohemorrhagic enteritis is caused by Clostridium perfringens type A. Due to the rapid progress and fatal outcome of the disease, vaccination would be of high value. In this study, C.
