Immunologic aspects of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
New England Journal of Medicine, 2009 This review is an account of how pulmonary damage caused by cigarette smoke and other environmental toxins can incite inflammatory and immunologic reactions that culminate in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The authors present evidence that

A Beginners Guide to Systems Simulation in Immunology [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 Some common systems modelling and simulation approaches for immune problems are Monte Carlo simulations, system dynamics, discrete-event simulation and agent-based simulation. These methods, however, are still not widely adopted in immunology research.

RBPJ Controls Development of Pathogenic Th17 Cells by Regulating IL-23 Receptor Expression
Cell Reports, 2016 Interleukin-17 (IL-17)-producing helper T cells (Th17 cells) play an important role in autoimmune diseases. However, not all Th17 cells induce tissue inflammation or autoimmunity. Th17 cells require IL-23 receptor (IL-23R) signaling to become pathogenic.

Immunologic basis of cardiovascular disease in HIV-infected adults.
Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2012 Cardiovascular complications are more common in human immunodeficiency virus-infected individuals than in age-matched uninfected individuals. Antiretroviral therapy reduces the risk of cardiovascular complications, suggesting that viral replication ...

SIMMUNE, a tool for simulating and analyzing immune system behavior [PDF]
arXiv, 1999 We present a new approach to the simulation and analysis of immune system behavior. The simulations that can be done with our software package called SIMMUNE are based on immunological data that describe the behavior of immune system agents (cells, molecules) on a microscopial (i.e.

An Immunology-Inspired Network Security Architecture [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 The coming 5G networks have been enabling the creation of a wide variety of new services and applications which demand a new network security architecture. Immunology is the study of the immune system in vertebrates (including humans) which protects us from infection through various lines of defence.

Using Immunology Principles for Anomaly Detection in Electrical Systems [PDF]
IEEE Transactions in Industrial Electronics 50 (2003) 362-373, 2001 The immune system is a cognitive system of complexity comparable to the brain and its computational algorithms suggest new solutions to engineering problems or new ways of looking at these problems. Using immunological principles, a two (or three-) module algorithm is developed which is capable of launching a specific response to an anomalous situation.
