Glassy Dynamics in the Adaptive Immune Response Prevents Autoimmune Disease [PDF]

, 2005
The immune system normally protects the human host against death by infection. However, when an immune response is mistakenly directed at self antigens, autoimmune disease can occur. We describe a model of protein evolution to simulate the dynamics of the adaptive immune response to antigens.

Human leukocyte antigens in Turkish pediatric celiac patients

The Turkish Journal of Pediatrics, 1999
With the aim to determine the frequency of human leukocyte antigen phenotypes of celiac disease in Turkey, thirty celiac patients fulfilling the European Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition criteria were included in the study.

Leveraging Organ‐on‐Chip Models to Investigate Host–Microbiota Dynamics and Targeted Therapies for Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The challenges of studying inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), highlighting limitations of traditional 2D cell cultures and animal models are discussed here. It introduces human intestine organ‐on‐chip (OoC) models as a promising alternative, capable of more accurately mimicking the intestinal microenvironment.

Cutaneous T‐cell lymphomas: 2023 update on diagnosis, risk‐stratification, and management

American Journal of Hematology, Volume 98, Issue 1, Page 193-209, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Disease Overview Cutaneous T‐cell lymphomas are a heterogenous group of T‐cell neoplasms involving the skin, the majority of which may be classified as Mycosis Fungoides (MF) or Sézary Syndrome (SS). Diagnosis The diagnosis of MF or SS requires the integration of clinical and histopathologic data.

Progress and Application of Multifunctional Hydrogel in Radioactive Skin Injury

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
This review examines healing challenges in radiation‐wound injuries, where ionizing radiation impairs immune and tissue repair processes. Hydrogels, with their biocompatibility, antimicrobial properties, and drug delivery capabilities, present a transformative solution. It compares hydrogel efficacy in radiation‐induced versus common wounds, highlights

Canalization of the evolutionary trajectory of the human influenza virus [PDF]

arXiv, 2011
Since its emergence in 1968, influenza A (H3N2) has evolved extensively in genotype and antigenic phenotype. Antigenic evolution occurs in the context of a two-dimensional 'antigenic map', while genetic evolution shows a characteristic ladder-like genealogical tree. Here, we use a large-scale individual-based model to show that evolution in a Euclidean

Vogt‐Koyanagi‐Harada disease‐like uveitis induced by nivolumab in metastatic renal cell carcinoma

IJU Case Reports
Introduction Nivolumab can cause various immune‐related adverse events; it rarely induces Vogt‐Koyanagi‐Harada‐disease‐like uveitis. Vogt‐Koyanagi‐Harada‐disease is reported to be closely associated with human leukocyte antigen‐DR4.
