Adaptation in the face of internal conflict: the paradox of the organism revisited
Biological Reviews, Volume 98, Issue 5, Page 1796-1811, October 2023., 2023 ABSTRACT The paradox of the organism refers to the observation that organisms appear to function as coherent purposeful entities, despite the potential for within‐organismal components like selfish genetic elements and cancer cells to erode them from within. While it is commonly accepted that organisms may pursue fitness maximisation and can be thought

Chimerism after organ transplantation [PDF]
, 1997 Recent evidence suggests that passenger leukocytes migrate after organ transplantation and produce persistent chimerism, which is essential for sustained survival of the allograft.

Global trends of cancer: The role of diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors
Cancer Innovation, Volume 2, Issue 4, Page 290-301, August 2023., 2023 The age‐standardized cancer incidence rate data for the selected countries indicate a great areal variation and different global trends for each type of cancer. Analysis of the worldwide statistical data regionally for cancer incidence rates for certain cancers meaningfully correlate with diet, lifestyle, and environmental factors.

Case-control study of fetal microchimerism and breast cancer. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2008 Prior pregnancy is known to protect against development of breast cancer. Recent studies have demonstrated that pregnancy has the capacity to establish small numbers of immunologically active fetal-derived cells in the mother, a phenomenon known as fetal

Demonstration of microchimerism in pregnant sows and effects of congenital PRRSV infection
Veterinary Research, 2012 The presence of foreign cells within the tissue/circulation of an individual is described as microchimerism. The main purpose of the present investigation was to study if microchimerism occurs in healthy sows/fetuses and if porcine reproductive and ...

New insights in understanding biliary atresia from the perspectives on maternal microchimerism
Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2022 Biliary atresia (BA) is a fibroinflammatory cholangiopathy and portal venopathy. It is of unknown etiology and is associated with systemic immune dysregulation, in which the first insult begins before birth.

Chimerism and xenotransplantation: New concepts [PDF]
, 1999 In both transplant and infectious circumstances, the immune response is governed by migration and localization of the antigen. If the antigenic epitopes of transgenic xenografts are sufficiently altered to avoid evoking the destructive force of innate ...

Evidence of Fetal Microchimerism in Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis [PDF]
The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2001 Fetal microchimerism, the engraftment of fetal progenitor cells into maternal tissues, has been implicated in the etiology of autoimmune diseases. We used PCR analysis to determine whether microchimerism occurred in the thyroid glands of female patients suffering from Hashimoto's disease and thus may be involved in its etiology.

Feto-maternal microchimerism: Memories from pregnancy
iScience, 2022 Summary: There is a bidirectional transplacental cell trafficking between mother and fetus during pregnancy in placental mammals. The presence and persistence of fetal cells in maternal tissues are known as fetal microchimerism (FMc).
