Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2021 Molecular mimicry is one of the evolutionary strategies that parasites use to manipulate the host metabolism and perform an effective infection. This phenomenon has been observed in several animal and plant pathosystems.

Antibody-mediated broad sarbecovirus neutralization through ACE2 molecular mimicry
bioRxiv, 2021 Understanding broadly neutralizing sarbecovirus antibody responses is key to developing countermeasures effective against SARS-CoV-2 variants and future spillovers of other sarbecoviruses.

Molecular Mimicry and Autoimmunity [PDF]
New England Journal of Medicine, 1999 Autoimmune disease is the consequence of an immune response against self-antigens that results in the damage and eventual dysfunction of target organs. Although the triggering event in most autoimmune diseases is unknown, an infectious cause has long been postulated to explain the development of autoimmunity. Molecular mimicry is one mechanism by which

The molecular mimicry and COVID-19
Инфекция и иммунитет, 2023 A significant part of the complications of COVID-19 and manifestations of post-COVID syndrome is associated with autoimmune reactions caused by SARS-CoV-2.

Exploiting Task Tolerances in Mimicry-based Telemanipulation [PDF]
2023 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and
Systems (IROS), 2023 We explore task tolerances, i.e., allowable position or rotation inaccuracy, as an important resource to facilitate smooth and effective telemanipulation. Task tolerances provide a robot flexibility to generate smooth and feasible motions; however, in teleoperation, this flexibility may make the user's control less direct.

Molecular mimicry between SARS‐CoV‐2 and the female reproductive system
American Journal of Reproductive Immunology, 2021 Oogenesis, the process of egg production by the ovary, involves a complex differentiation program leading to the production of functional oocytes. This process comprises a sequential pathway of steps that are finely regulated.

Genome-wide identification of molecular mimicry candidates in parasites. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 Among the many strategies employed by parasites for immune evasion and host manipulation, one of the most fascinating is molecular mimicry. With genome sequences available for host and parasite, mimicry of linear amino acid epitopes can be investigated ...

From Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Immune Response to the Cytokine Storm via Molecular Mimicry
Antibodies, 2021 The aim of this study was to investigate the role of molecular mimicry in the cytokine storms associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Human proteins endowed with anti-inflammatory activity were assembled and analyzed

Immunologic research, 2020 The ethiopathology of the diseasome induced by the SARSCoV-2 infection in the human host [1] is under intensive investigation. A likely mechanism is that the multitude of the diseases encompassed within COVID-19 derives frommolecular mimicry phenomena ...
