Diagnosis and initial management of children presenting with premature loss of primary teeth associated with a systemic condition: A scoping review and development of clinical aid

International Journal of Paediatric Dentistry, Volume 34, Issue 6, Page 871-890, November 2024.
Abstract Background Premature loss of primary teeth (PLPT) can be a rare presentation of systemic medical conditions. Premature loss of primary teeth may present a diagnostic dilemma to paediatric dentists. Aims To identify systemic conditions associated with PLPT and develop a clinical aid.

Comparative histomorphological assessment of the osteoinductive capacity of a nanofibrillated cellulose‐based composite and autologous blood clot

Journal of Experimental Orthopaedics, Volume 11, Issue 4, October 2024.
Abstract Purpose The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the effect of nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC)‐based composite with dicalcium phosphate dihydrate and an autologous blood clot (ABC) on the formation of new bone tissue in vivo by histological and histomorphometric assessment.

MiStImm: a simulation tool to compare classical nonsef-centered immune models with a novel self-centered model [PDF]

Theoretical Biology and Medical Modelling, volume 16, Article number: 9 (2019), 2015
Our main purpose is to compare classical nonself-centered, two-signal theoretical models of the adaptive immune system with a novel, self-centered, one-signal model developed by our research group. Our model hypothesizes that the immune system of a fetus is capable learning the limited set of self antigens but unable to prepare itself for the unlimited

Binding of Escherichia coli Does Not Protect Tulane Virus from Heat-Inactivation Regardless the Expression of HBGA-Like Molecules

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Histo-blood group antigens (HBGAs) are considered as receptors/co-receptors for human norovirus (HuNoV). It has been reported that binding of HuNoV-derived virus-like particles (VLPs) to HBGA-like molecules-expressing bacteria increased the stability of ...

A stochastic individual-based model to explore the role of spatial interactions and antigen recognition in the immune response against solid tumours [PDF]

, 2019
Spatial interactions between cancer and immune cells, as well as the recognition of tumour antigens by cells of the immune system, play a key role in the immune response against solid tumours. The existing mathematical models generally focus only on one of these key aspects.

Dynamics-based peptide-MHC binding optimization by a convolutional variational autoencoder: a use-case model for CASTELO [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
An unsolved challenge in the development of antigen specific immunotherapies is determining the optimal antigens to target. Comprehension of antigen-MHC binding is paramount towards achieving this goal. Here, we present CASTELO, a combined machine learning-molecular dynamics (ML-MD) approach to design novel antigens of increased MHC binding affinity ...

Molecular basis of P[6] and P[8] major human rotavirus VP8* domain interactions with histo-blood group antigens

bioRxiv, 2019
Initial cell attachment of rotavirus (RV) to specific cell surface glycans, which is the essential first step in RV infection, is mediated by the VP8* domain of the spike protein VP4.

Discrimination of Membrane Antigen Affinity by B cells Requires Dominance of Kinetic Proofreading over Serial Triggering [PDF]

arXiv, 2010
B cells receptor (BCR) signaling in response to membrane-bound antigen increases with antigen affinity, a process known as affinity discrimination. We use computational modeling to show that B cell affinity discrimination requires that kinetic proofreading predominate over serial engagement.
