Focal Point Theory Models for Dissecting Dynamic Duality Problems of Microbial Infections [PDF]

BioMed Research International, 2008
Extending along the dynamic continuum from conflict to cooperation, microbial infections always involve symbiosis (Sym) and pathogenesis (Pat). There exists a dynamic Sym‐Pat duality (DSPD) in microbial infection that is the most fundamental problem in infectomics. DSPD is encoded by the genomes of both the microbes and their hosts.

Germs, Dr. Billings, and the Theory of Focal Infection [PDF]

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 1998
Our understanding of infectious diseases continues to expand rapidly, and has led to the realization that microorganisms are responsible for, or at least contribute to, numerous diseases that were never before associated with infectious etiologies. However, a review of medical history reminds us that this is not so novel an idea.

The gateway theory: bridging neural and immune interactions in the CNS

Frontiers in Neuroscience, 2013
The central nervous system (CNS) is considered an immune-privileged tissue protected by a specific vessel structure, the brain-blood barrier (BBB). Upon infection or traumatic injury in the CNS, the BBB is breached, and various immune cells are recruited

Identification of common blood gene signatures for the diagnosis of renal and cardiac acute allograft rejection. [PDF]

, 2013
To test, whether 10 genes, diagnostic of renal allograft rejection in blood, are able to diagnose and predict cardiac allograft rejection, we analyzed 250 blood samples from heart transplant recipients with and without acute rejection (AR) and with ...

Estimation of changes in the force of infection for intestinal and urogenital schistosomiasis in countries with Schistosomiasis Control Initiative-assisted programmes [PDF]

, 2015
The last decade has seen an expansion of national schistosomiasis control programmes in Africa based on large-scale preventative chemotherapy. In many areas this has resulted in considerable reductions in infection and morbidity levels in treated ...

DENDRITIC CELL DIFFERENTIATION BLOCKED BY PRIMARY EFFUSION LYMPHOMA-RELEASED FACTORS IS PARTIALLY RESTORED BY INHIBITION OF P38 MAPK [PDF]

, 2010
To better understand the molecular mechanisms underlying the dendritic cell (DC) defects in cancer, we analyzed which signaling pathway is implicated in the abnormal monocyte differentiation into DC determined by the presence of Primary effusion lymphoma

Reaction-diffusion spatial modeling of COVID-19: Greece and Andalusia as case examples [PDF]

, 2021
We examine the spatial modeling of the outbreak of COVID-19 in two regions: the autonomous community of Andalusia in Spain and the mainland of Greece. We start with a 0D compartmental epidemiological model consisting of Susceptible, Exposed, Asymptomatic,
