Modelling Immunological Memory [PDF]
Accurate immunological models offer the possibility of performing highthroughput experiments in silico that can predict, or at least suggest, in vivo phenomena. In this chapter, we compare various models of immunological memory. We first validate an experimental immunological simulator, developed by the authors, by simulating several theories of ...

Expression of MHC II genes [PDF]
Innate and adaptive immunity are connected via antigen processing and presentation (APP), which results in the presentation of antigenic peptides to T cells in the complex with the major histocompatibility (MHC) determinants. MHC class II (MHC II) determinants present antigens to CD4+ T cells, which are the main regulators of the immune response. Their

Influenza Evolution and H3N2 Vaccine Effectiveness, with Application to the 2014/2015 Season [PDF]
Influenza A is a serious disease that causes significant morbidity and mortality, and vaccines against the seasonal influenza disease are of variable effectiveness. In this paper, we discuss use of the $p_{\rm epitope}$ method to predict the dominant influenza strain and the expected vaccine effectiveness in the coming flu season. We illustrate how the

Hieroglyph: Hierarchical Glia Graph Skeletonization and Matching [PDF]
Automatic 3D reconstruction of glia morphology is a powerful tool necessary for investigating the role of microglia in neurological disorders in the central nervous system. Current glia skeleton reconstruction techniques fail to capture an accurate tracing of the processes over time, useful for the study of the microglia motility and morphology in the ...

The IBEX Imaging Knowledge-Base: A Community Resource Enabling Adoption and Development of Immunofluoresence Imaging Methods [PDF]
The iterative bleaching extends multiplexity (IBEX) Knowledge-Base is a central portal for researchers adopting IBEX and related 2D and 3D immunofluorescence imaging methods. The design of the Knowledge-Base is modeled after efforts in the open-source software community and includes three facets: a development platform (GitHub), static website, and ...

What Radio Waves Tell Us about Sleep [PDF]
The ability to assess sleep at home, capture sleep stages, and detect the occurrence of apnea (without on-body sensors) simply by analyzing the radio waves bouncing off people's bodies while they sleep is quite powerful. Such a capability would allow for longitudinal data collection in patients' homes, informing our understanding of sleep and its ...
