Bacterial Infection Elicits Heat Shock Protein 72 Release from Pleural Mesothelial Cells [PDF]
, 2013 Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) has been implicated in infection-related processes and has been found in body fluids during infection. This study aimed to determine whether pleural mesothelial cells release HSP70 in response to bacterial infection in vitro

Theories of truth based on four-valued infectious logics [PDF]
, 2020 Infectious logics are systems that have a truth-value that is assigned to a compound formula whenever it is assigned to one of its components. This paper studies four-valued infectious logics as the basis of transparent theories of truth.
