Vaccination and herd immunity thresholds in heterogeneous populations

Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2021
It has been suggested, without rigorous mathematical analysis, that the classical vaccine-induced herd immunity threshold (HIT) assuming a homogeneous population can be substantially higher than the minimum HIT obtained when considering population ...

Information Transmission Strategies for Self‐Organized Robotic Aggregation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
In this review, we discuss how information transmission influences the neighbor‐based self‐organized aggregation of swarm robots. We focus specifically on local interactions regarding information transfer and categorize previous studies based on the functions of the information exchanged.

ETHICS OF VACCINATION IN CHILDHOOD

Slovenska pediatrija, 2021
In countries with well-established immunisation programmes, vaccination is the ‘victim of its own success’, because the low incidence of diseases prevented by vaccines has diminished the experience of their historical burdens and hence the obvious benefit

Achieving herd immunity against COVID-19 at the country level by the exit strategy of a phased lift of control

Scientific Reports, 2021
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the entire world causing substantial numbers of cases and deaths in most countries. Many have implemented nationwide stringent control to avoid overburdening the health care system.

Tailoring Vascular‐Immune Homeostasis via Manganese‐DNA Complex‐Armed Immunogenic Extracellular Vesicles for Pancreatic Cancer Immunotherapy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that Mn2⁺–tumor DNA complexes encapsulated in dendritic cell (DC)– derived immunogenic extracellular vesicles (EVDC@Mn‐DNA) act as a DC‐specific cGAS– STING activator. EVDC@Mn‐DNA treatment enhances intratumoral DC activation, improves tumor vascular function, promotes CD8⁺ T cell activity, and suppresses pancreatic tumor growth,

How will emerging SARS-CoV-2 variants impact herd immunity?

Annals of Translational Medicine, 2021
A considerable number of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variants are now circulating all around the world, some of which can be considered “of concern” because their infectivity and/or pathogenicity and/or capacity to escape

A Patient‐Derived Organ‐on‐Chip Platform for Modeling the Tumor Microenvironment and Drug Responses in Pancreatic Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Researchers have developed a patient‐derived organ‐on‐a‐chip model for pancreatic cancer by integrating cancer cells with supportive stromal and immune cells inside a microfluidic device. This system mimics the tumor microenvironment, enabling personalized testing of chemotherapy and immunotherapy, and offering new insights into how targeting ...

Herd immunity and COVID-19 in Indonesia

Jurnal Teknologi Laboratorium, 2020
Herd immunity or herd effect is a phenomenon that occurs in groups of people who are resistant to disease. The purpose of conducting this research is to predict the number of cumulative cases of COVID-19 in Indonesia. Covid-19 cases in Indonesia on April

OPTRACE: Optical Imaging–Guided Transplantation and Tracking of Cells in the Mouse Brain

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
OPTRACE establishes an optical, two‐step platform for intracerebral cell therapy. Transparent glass pipettes enable real‐time, image‐guided delivery, while multiplex genetic labeling with two‐photon and bioluminescence readouts supports longitudinal single‐cell tracking and host–graft dynamics.
