Canonical immunity and genericity [PDF]
Whereas the usual notions of immunity -- e.g., immunity, hyperimmunity, etc. -- are associated with Cohen genericity, canonical immunity, as introduced by Beros, Khan and Kjos-Hanssen, is associated instead with Mathias genericity. Specifically, every Mathias generic is canonically immune and no Cohen 2-generic computes a canonically immune set.

SIRS epidemics with individual heterogeneity of immunity waning [PDF]
We analyse an extended SIRS epidemic model in which immunity at the individual level wanes gradually at exponential rate, but where the waning rate may differ between individuals, for instance as an effect of differences in immune systems. The model also includes vaccination schemes aimed to reach and maintain herd immunity.

Pedigree Prosecution: Should a Head of State’s Family Members Be Entitled to Immunity in Foreign Courts? [PDF]
States tread carefully in international affairs to maintain mutual respect for sovereignty. In today’s legal order, a head of state is the sovereign state personified. Until the twentieth century, heads of state did not routinely travel outside

Interaction extracellular vesicles (iEVs) are hybrid vesicles formed through host‐pathogen communication. They facilitate immune evasion, transfer pathogens' molecules, increase host cell uptake, and enhance virulence. This Perspective article illustrates the multifunctional roles of iEVs and highlights their emerging relevance in infection dynamics ...

Background Gut homeostasis, including intestinal immunity and microbiome, is essential for cognitive function via the gut-brain axis. This axis is altered in high-fat diet (HFD)-induced cognitive impairment and is closely associated with ...

Artificial Immune Privileged Sites as an Enhancement to Immuno-Computing Paradigm [PDF]
The immune system is a highly parallel and distributed intelligent system which has learning, memory, and associative capabilities. Artificial Immune System is an evolutionary paradigm inspired by the biological aspects of the immune system of mammals. The immune system can inspire to form new algorithms learning from its course of action.

Foreign Sovereign Immunity and Domestic Officer Suits [PDF]
Under international law, official-capacity suits brought against a foreign state’s officers are treated as suits against the state itself and thus as subject to the state’s immunity, even in suits alleging human rights abuses.

Ferroptosis, necroptosis, and pyroptosis in anticancer immunity
In recent years, cancer immunotherapy based on immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has achieved considerable success in the clinic. However, ICIs are significantly limited by the fact that only one third of patients with most types of cancer respond to ...

Decoding the dual role of autophagy in cancer through transcriptional and epigenetic regulation
Transcriptional and epigenetic regulation controls autophagy, which exerts context‐dependent effects on cancer: Autophagy suppresses tumorigenesis by maintaining cellular homeostasis or promotes tumor progression by supporting survival under stress. In this “In a Nutshell” article, we explore the intricate mechanisms of the dual function of autophagy ...
