MicroRNA in the immune system, microRNA as an immune system
SummaryThe advent of microRNA has potentially uncovered a new level of complexity to be considered for every biological process. Through the modulation of transcription and translation, microRNA alter the basal state of cells and the outcome of stimulatory events. The exact effect of the microRNA network and individual microRNA on cellular processes is

Normalizing and denoising protein expression data from droplet-based single cell profiling
Current single cell protein expression profiling approaches come with substantial measurement noise. Here the authors discover the sources of this noise and develop a denoising algorithm that improves data quality and downstream applications.

Bacteriophages and the Immune System [PDF]
Bacteriophages—viruses that infect bacteria—are abundant within our bodies, but their significance to human health is only beginning to be explored. Here, we synthesize what is currently known about our phageome and its interactions with the immune system.

libtissue - implementing innate immunity [PDF]
In a previous paper the authors argued the case for incorporating ideas from innate immunity into articficial immune systems (AISs) and presented an outline for a conceptual framework for such systems.

Differences in Type 2 Fiber Composition in the Vastus Lateralis and Gluteus Maximus of Patients with Hip Fractures [PDF]
Background Aging leads to sarcopenia, which is characterized by reduced muscle mass and strength. Many factors, including altered muscle protein turnover, diminished neuromuscular function, hormonal changes, systemic inflammation, and the structure and ...

Intestinal macromolecular transport supporting adaptive immunity [PDF]
The gastrointestinal tract performs opposing functions of nutrient absorption, barrier maintenance, and the delivery of luminal substances for the appropriate induction of tolerogenic or protective adaptive immunity.

Environmental Circadian Disruption Elevates the IL-6 Response to Lipopolysaccharide in Blood [PDF]
The immune system is regulated by circadian clocks within the brain and immune cells. Environmental circadian disruption (ECD), consisting of a 6-h phase advance of the light:dark cycle once a week for 4 weeks, elevates the inflammatory response to ...

Development of the Immune System [PDF]
The development of immune defense mechanisms begins early during fetal life but is not yet completed at birth. The earliest hematopoietic stem cells, which give rise to the lymphocytic and myelomonocytic cell lines, appear between the fourth and eight weeks postconception.
