The interplay between viral molecular mimicry and host chromatin dynamics
Nucleus, 2023 Molecular mimicry is a commonly used mechanism by viruses to manipulate host cellular machinery and coordinate their life cycles. While histone mimicry is well studied, viruses also employ other mimicry strategies to affect chromatin dynamics.

Liver organoids: modelling complexity in homeostasis and disease
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Studying liver in vitro has been challenging because simple 2D cell cultures fail to capture liver's cellular and architectural complexity. To bridge this gap, scientists increasingly use organoids, 3D liver models which better mimic liver composition and function. This review examines recent advances in liver organoid complexity and realism, discusses

Voices from the Borders. Feridun Zaimoglu’s Kanaksprak
Between, 2011 Kanak Sprak, a collection of reportages by the Turkish-German author Feridun Zaimoglu issued in 1995, suggests two considerations: on the one hand on the strategies of empowerment of the stigma “Kanake”, which labels Turkish and other Germans with ...

Molecular mimicry: Can epitope mimicry induce autoimmune disease?
, 1997 Mimicry of host antigens by infectious agents may induce cross-reactive autoimmune responses to epitopes within host proteins which, in susceptible individuals, may tip the balance of immunological response versus tolerance toward response and ...

Epigenetic reprogramming of lineage switching in cancer
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Cancer cells rarely commit to a single identity. Epigenetic mechanisms and tumor microenvironment cues push epithelial cells toward flexible, hybrid states that can shift into mesenchymal, neuroendocrine, or stem‐like fates, driving metastasis, drug resistance, and tumor heterogeneity. Targeting the epigenetic regulators behind these transitions, using

Conditions for the evolution of mimicry
, 2002 Mimicry is a poorly understood phenomenon; we present a simulation of the evolution of both Batesian (parasitic) and Muellerian (mutualistic) mimicry. In the model, multiple species are preyed upon by a single abstract predator; the appearance of each ...

Mimicry and masquerade from the avian visual perspective
Current Zoology, 2012 Several of the most celebrated examples of visual mimicry, like mimetic eggs laid by avian brood parasites and palatable insects mimicking distasteful ones, involve signals directed at the eyes of birds.

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 ...

Brain Sciences, 2023 Emotional mimicry plays a vital role in understanding others’ emotions and has been found to be modulated by social contexts, especially group membership. However, the neural mechanisms underlying this modulation remain unclear.
