Molecular Mimicry and Uveitis [PDF]
Frontiers in Immunology, 2020 Molecular or antigenic mimicry is a term for the similarity of different antigens, which can be confused by the immune system. Antigen recognition by antibodies and T cell receptors is specific, but not restricted to a single antigen. Both types of receptors specifically recognize antigens and are expressed with a very high but still restricted ...

Müllerian mimicry as a result of codivergence between velvet ants and spider wasps.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Recent studies have delineated a large Nearctic Müllerian mimicry complex in Dasymutilla velvet ants. Psorthaspis spider wasps live in areas where this mimicry complex is found and are phenotypically similar to Dasymutilla.

Cosmic Mimicry: Is LCDM a Braneworld in Disguise ? [PDF]
JCAP 0512:005,2005, 2005 For a broad range of parameter values, braneworld models display a remarkable property which we call cosmic mimicry. Cosmic mimicry is characterized by the fact that, at low redshifts, the Hubble parameter in the braneworld model is virtually indistinguishable from that in the LCDM cosmology.

Surfaceome: a new era in the discovery of immune evasion mechanisms of circulating tumor cells
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.In the era of immunotherapies, many patients either do not respond or eventually develop resistance. We propose to pave the way for proteomic analysis of surface‐expressed proteins called surfaceome, of circulating tumor cells. This approach seeks to identify immune evasion mechanisms and discover potential therapeutic targets. Circulating tumor cells (

Is Mimicry Advantageous? [PDF]
Nature, 1870 THE discussion of mimicry among butterflies, in the recent numbers of this Journal, has brought to my mind some considerations which seem to have been overlooked by those who have treated the subject.

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Prostate cancer is a leading malignancy with significant clinical heterogeneity in men. An 11‐gene signature derived from dysregulated epithelial cell markers effectively predicted biochemical recurrence‐free survival in patients who underwent radical surgery or radiotherapy.

Social Top-down Response Modulation (STORM): A model of the control of mimicry in social interaction
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2012 As a distinct feature of human social interactions, spontaneous mimicry has been widely investigated in the past decade. Research suggests that mimicry is a subtle and flexible social behaviour which plays an important role for communication and ...

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.CircCCNB1 expression is down‐regulated in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC); thus, less NF90 protein is bound to circCCNB1 and more binds to pri‐miRNAs, blocking their (pri‐miRNAs) binding to DGCR8 and inhibiting the processing and generation of miR‐15b‐5p/miR‐7‐1‐3p. Furthermore, decreased miR‐15b‐5p/miR‐7‐1‐3p promotes the expression of the target genes

To the problem of spectral mimicry of supergiants [PDF]
, 2017 The phenomenon of spectral mimicry refers to the fact that hypergiants and post-AGB supergiants - stars of different masses in fundamentally different stages of their evolution have similar optical spectra, and also share certain other characteristics (unstable and extended atmospheres, expanding gas-dust envelopes, high IR excesses). As a consequence,

Inhibitor of DNA binding‐1 is a key regulator of cancer cell vasculogenic mimicry
Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.Elevated expression of transcriptional regulator inhibitor of DNA binding 1 (ID1) promoted cancer cell‐mediated vasculogenic mimicry (VM) through regulation of pro‐angiogenic and pro‐cancerous genes (e.g. VE‐cadherin (CDH5), TIE2, MMP9, DKK1). Higher ID1 expression also increased metastases to the lung and the liver.
