Lymphocyte repertoire selection and intracellular self/not-self discrimination: historical overview [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 Immunological self/not-self discrimination is conventionally seen as an extracellular event, involving interactions been receptors on T cells pre-educated to discriminate, and peptides bound to major histocompatibility complex proteins (pMHCs). Mechanisms by which not-self peptides might first be sorted intracellularly to distinguish them from the vast

A Review of Mathematical Models for Muscular Dystrophy: A Systems Biology Approach [PDF]
arXiv, 2016 Muscular dystrophy (MD) describes generalized progressive muscular weakness due to the wasting of muscle fibers. The progression of the disease is affected by known immunological and mechanical factors, and possibly other unknown mechanisms. These dynamics have begun to be elucidated in the last two decades.

Infection severity across scales in multi-strain immuno-epidemiological Dengue model structured by host antibody level [PDF]
arXiv, 2019 Infection by distinct Dengue virus serotypes and host immunity are intricately linked. In particular, certain levels of cross-reactive antibodies in the host may actually enhance infection severity leading to Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). The coupled immunological and epidemiological dynamics of Dengue calls for a multi-scale modeling approach.

Immunity to Plasmodium knowlesi H strain malaria in olive baboons [PDF]
Int. J. Integ. Biol. Volume 10, Issue No. 3: 147 -- 152 (2010), 2012 Malaria disease is a major global health and economic development threat. It results in approximately 2.7 million deaths annually. There is currently no vaccine that has been licensed for use against malaria. Studies in animal models, especially non-human primates can lead to the revelation of possible immunological mechanisms that can lead to ...

How sustainable environments have reduced the diffusion of coronavirus disease 2019: the interaction between spread of COVID-19 infection, polluting industrialization, wind (renewable) energy [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 This study endeavors to explain the relation between air pollution and particulate compounds emissions, wind resources and energy, and the diffusion of COVID-19 infection to provide insights of sustainable policy to prevent future epidemics. The statistical analysis here focuses on case study of Italy, one of the countries to experience a rapid ...

Maximum Matchings in Graphs for Allocating Kidney Paired Donation [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 Relatives and friends of an end-stage renal disease patient who offer to donate a kidney are often found to be incompatible with their intended recipients. Kidney paired donation matches one patient and his incompatible donor with another patient and donor in the same situation for an organ exchange.

Immunologically mediated oral diseases
Journal of Pharmacy And Bioallied Sciences, 2015 Immune mediated diseases of oral cavity are uncommon. The lesions may be self-limiting and undergo remission spontaneously. Among the immune mediated oral lesions the most important are lichen planus, pemphigus, erythema multiformi, epidermolysis bullosa, systemic lupus erythematosis.
