Immunology and Immunologic Diseases of the Lung [PDF]
ABSTRACT Immunology and Immunologic Diseases of the Lung, edited by Ronald P. Daniele, MD, is an important addition to the many books on pulmonary medicine. The explosive growth of knowledge in immunology during the past few decades and the recognition that the lung is a key player in many immunologic disorders justify the assembly of this material as ...

T Cells Immunology in the Immunological Diseases [PDF]
Immunological diseases, with the morbidity keeping increased, have become a major threat to human mental and physical health. However, the pathogenesis of these diseases is extremely complicated and remains unclear. Recent advances in biology have introduced new technologies to study the underlying mechanisms that contribute to the development of ...

Modeling Immunity to Malaria with an Age-Structured PDE Framework [PDF]
Malaria is one of the deadliest infectious diseases globally, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths each year. It disproportionately affects young children, with two-thirds of fatalities occurring in under-fives. Individuals acquire protection from disease through repeated exposure, and this immunity plays a crucial role in the dynamics of malaria ...

The immunology of coeliac disease
Whether or not the immune system initiates CD, it can be seen to play a role in the natural history of the disease. Genetic susceptibility to CD has been shown to be linked to the HLA, DQw2 and it appears that other genes within the MHC further contribute to disease susceptibility. The search for other immune response genes that may be linked to CD has

Agent-Based Modeling of Host-Pathogen Systems: The Successes and Challenges [PDF]
Agent-based models have been employed to describe numerous processes in immunology. Simulations based on these types of models have been used to enhance our understanding of immunology and disease pathology. We review various agent-based models relevant to host-pathogen systems and discuss their contributions to our understanding of biological ...

The immunology of Parkinson’s disease
AbstractParkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder which affects 6.1 million people worldwide. The neuropathological hallmarks include the loss of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra, the presence of Lewy bodies and Lewy neurites caused by α-synuclein aggregation, and neuroinflammation in the brain.

Augmenting adaptive immunity: progress and challenges in the quantitative engineering and analysis of adaptive immune receptor repertoires [PDF]
The adaptive immune system is a natural diagnostic and therapeutic. It recognizes threats earlier than clinical symptoms manifest and neutralizes antigen with exquisite specificity. Recognition specificity and broad reactivity is enabled via adaptive B- and T-cell receptors: the immune receptor repertoire.

Is Coronavirus-Related Research Becoming More Interdisciplinary? A Perspective of Co-occurrence Analysis and Diversity Measure of Scientific Articles [PDF]
The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has had a significant repercussion on the health, economy, politics and environment, making coronavirus-related issues more complicated and difficult to solve adequately by relying on a single field. Interdisciplinary research can provide an effective solution to complex issues in the related field of

Sensitivity analysis in an Immuno-Epidemiological Vector-Host Model [PDF]
Sensitivity Analysis (SA) is a useful tool to measure the impact of changes in model parameters on the infection dynamics, particularly to quantify the expected efficacy of disease control strategies. SA has only been applied to epidemic models at the population level, ignoring the effect of within-host virus-with-immune-system interactions on the ...
