A reaction-diffusion model for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis with a treatment term [PDF]
arXivWe present a mathematical study for the development of multiple sclerosis based on a reaction-diffusion system. The model describes interactions among different populations of human cells, motion of immune cells stimulated by cytokines, consumption of myelin sheath due to anomalously activated lymphocytes and its restoration by oligodendrocytes ...

Competition driven cancer immunoediting [PDF]
arXiv, 2014 It is a well-established fact that tumors up-regulate glucose consumption to meet increasing demands for rapidly available energy by switching to purely glycolytic mode of glucose metabolism. What is often neglected is that cytotoxic cells of the immune system also have increased energy demands and also switch to pure glycolysis when they are in an ...

Epitope Mapping of Anti‐Neurofascin 155 Antibody in a Large Cohort of Autoimmune Nodopathy Patients
Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Objective Autoimmune nodopathy (AN), a newly recognized disease entity, is an immune‐mediated polyneuropathy involving autoantibodies against cell adhesion molecules located in nodes of Ranvier and paranodal regions, such as neurofascin 186 (NF186) and neurofascin 155 (NF155). The present study aimed to identify the epitopes for autoantibodies

A Nonconventional Analysis of CD$4^{+}$ and CD$8^{+}$ T Cell Responses During and After Acute Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus Infection [PDF]
arXiv, 2017 A mathematical model from a previous work was re-fitted and analyzed for experimental data regarding the cellular immune response to the lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus. Specifically, the $CD8^{+}$ T cell response to six MHC class I-restricted epitopes (GP* and NP*) and $CD4^{+}$ T cell responses to two MHC class II-restricted epitopes\cite ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Transarterial Chemoembolization (TACE) may aggravate liver fibrosis. In this study, a novel oral targeting nanoemulsion is fabricated to enhance the therapeutic effect of antifibrotic drug‐pirfenidone (PFD) on fibrosis after TACE. Studies have shown that PFD nanoemulsion can enhance the oral liver targeting effect of PFD, and effectively improve the ...
