Stem Cell Transplantation As A Dynamical System: Are Clinical Outcomes Deterministic? [PDF]
Outcomes in stem cell transplantation (SCT) are modeled using probability theory. However the clinical course following SCT appears to demonstrate many characteristics of dynamical systems, especially when outcomes are considered in the context of immune reconstitution.

Thymic epithelial cells (TECs) account for the most abundant and dominant stromal component of the thymus, where T cells mature. Oxidative- or cytotoxic-stress associated injury in TECs, a significant and common problem in many clinical settings, may ...

Recent advances in poor HIV immune reconstitution: what will the future look like?
Combination antiretroviral therapy has demonstrated proved effectiveness in suppressing viral replication and significantly recovering CD4+ T cell count in HIV type-1 (HIV-1)-infected patients, contributing to a dramatic reduction in AIDS morbidity and ...

Prolonged thymic involution results in decreased thymopoiesis and thymic output, leading to peripheral T-cell deficiency. Since the thymic-dependent pathway is the only means of generating fully mature T cells, the identification of strategies to enhance

Interaction of fibrinogen-magnetic nanoparticle bioconjugates with integrin reconstituted into artificial membranes [PDF]
Magnetic nanoparticles have a broad spectrum of biomedical applications including cell separation, diagnostics and therapy. One key issue is little explored: how do the engineered nanoparticles interact with blood components after injection? The formation of bioconjugates in the bloodstream and subsequent reactions are potentially toxic due to the ...

Subdividing ART patients and analyzing the medical burden by modeling of CD4 cell count
Objective: To subdivide the antiretroviral therapy (ART) human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) patients by modeling the CD4 cell count variable, with an aim to reduce the medical burden from lifelong ART. Materials

Background: Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a life-saving procedure for children with a variety of malignant and non-malignant conditions. However, even if immune reconstitution after HSCT has been studied in extensively, until now data

Immune reconstitution after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation
The reconstitution and the regaining of function of a healthy, transplanted immune system is of utmost importance for the recovery and long term survival of patients after HSCT.

Dynamical properties of feedback signalling in B lymphopoiesis: A mathematical modelling approach [PDF]
Haematopoiesis is the process of generation of blood cells. Lymphopoiesis generates lymphocytes, the cells in charge of the adaptive immune response. Disruptions of this process are associated with diseases like leukaemia, which is especially incident in children.
