Peptide strings clues to the genesis and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis: rebuilding self-protective immunity amid fungal ruins [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 A recent application of the peptide strings concept has yielded novel perceptions on cell growth regulation, for instance that of oncoprotein metastasis. Here, this interdisciplinary approach at the boundary between physics and biology has been applied to gain a more profound insight into rheumatoid arthritis.

Insights into pathogenic events of HIV-associated Kaposi sarcoma and immune reconstitution syndrome related Kaposi sarcoma [PDF]
, 2008 A decrease in the incidence of human immune deficiency virus-associated Kaposi sarcoma (HIV-KS) and regression of some established HIV-KS lesions is evident after the introduction of highly active anti-retroviral treatment (HAART), and is attributed to ...

The 15‐Year Survival Advantage: Immune Resilience as a Salutogenic Force in Healthy Aging
Aging Cell, EarlyView.Human aging shows puzzling diversity: similar aging rates yet vastly different health outcomes. Our study of ~17,500 people revealed a health‐promoting trait (more common in women) linked to strong immune resilience and high expression of TCF7, a key immune gene. This trait enables individuals to fight infections like COVID‐19 more effectively, respond

A physiological model of the inflammatory-thermal-pain-cardiovascular interactions during a pathogen challenge [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Uncontrolled, excessive production of pro-inflammatory mediators from immune cells and traumatized tissues can cause systemic inflammatory issues like sepsis, one of the ten leading causes of death in the United States and one of the three leading causes of death in the intensive care unit.

The use of deidentified organ donor testes for research
Andrology, EarlyView.Abstract Our knowledge of testis development and function mainly comes from research using mammalian model organisms, primarily the mouse. However, there are integral differences between men and other mammalian species regarding cellular composition and expression profiles during fetal and post‐natal testis development and in the mature testis ...
