Corticosterone selectively decreases humoral immunity in female eiders during incubation [PDF]
J. Exp. Biol. 209 (2006) 4957-4965, 2007 Immunity is hypothesized to share limited resources with other physiological functions and this may partly account for the fitness costs of reproduction. Previous studies have shown that the acquired immunity of female common eider ducks (Somateria mollissima) is suppressed during their incubation, during which they entirely fast.

Spatio-temporal modeling of co-dynamics of smallpox, measles and pertussis in pre-healthcare Finland [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Infections are known to interact as previous infections may have an effect on risk of succumbing to a new infection. The co-dynamics can be mediated by immunosuppression or -modulation, shared environmental or climatic drivers, or competition for susceptible hosts.

La terapia immunosoppressiva nel trapianto di rene
Giornale di Clinica Nefrologia e Dialisi, 2019 Immunosuppressive therapy in renal transplantation can be distinguished in induction therapy and maintenance therapy. Induction therapy is an intense immunosuppressive therapy administered at the time of kidney transplantation to reduce the risk of acute

Characterizing the folding core of the cyclophilin A - cyclosporin A complex I: hydrogen exchange data and rigidity analysis [PDF]
Biophys J. 108, 1739-1746 (2015), 2014 The determination of a 'folding core' can help to provide insight into the structure, flexibility, mobility and dynamics, and hence, ultimately, function of a protein - a central concern of structural biology. Changes in the folding core upon ligand binding are of particular interest because they may be relevant to drug-induced functional changes ...

Insights into PI3K/AKT signaling in B cell development and chronic lymphocytic leukemia
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.This Review explores how the phosphoinositide 3‐kinase and protein kinase B pathway shapes B cell development and drives chronic lymphocytic leukemia, a common blood cancer. It examines how signaling levels affect disease progression, addresses treatment challenges, and introduces novel experimental strategies to improve therapies and patient outcomes.

The role of T-helper/T-suppressor ratio in the adaptive immune response: a dynamical model [PDF]
, 2017 Recent experimental studies have suggested the ratio between T-helper and T-suppressor lymphocytes as an index of immunosuppression in HIV, cancer, immunosenescence and inflammatory and auto-immune diseases. However, a quantitative understanding of the impact of this ratio on the immune response has lagged behind data and its validity as a tool for ...
