Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2005 Viruses share antigenic sites with normal host cell components, a phenomenon known as molecular mimicry. It has long been suggested that viral infections might trigger an autoimmune response by several mechanisms including molecular mimicry.

Molecular mimicry: Basis for autoimmunity [PDF]
Indian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry, 2000 Structural similarity between a viral protein and a self-component can trigger an autoimmune response, which is the basis of molecular mimicry. Alternatively an invading virus can induce an inflammatory response which in turn can initiate an attack by hitherto dormant T cells on a specific self-antigen, a phenomenon which is referred to as Bystander ...

Is COVID-19 a proteiform disease inducing also molecular mimicry phenomena?
Cell stress & chaperones (Print), 2020 It is evident that COVID-19, the disease due to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (commonly abbreviated SARS-CoV-2) etiological agent, is not uniquely a respiratory disease, at least in a subset of patients.

Hydrodynamic Instabilities Provide A Generic Route To Spontaneous Biomimetic Oscillations In Chemomechanically Active Filaments [PDF]
Nature Scientific Reports, 3, 1964 (2013), 2012 Non-equilibrium processes which convert chemical energy into mechanical motion enable the motility of organisms. Bundles of inextensible filaments driven by energy transduction of molecular motors form essential components of micron-scale motility engines like cilia and flagella.

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.

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 (

Self-Assembly of Patchy Particles into Diamond Structures through Molecular Mimicry [PDF]
, 2012 Fabrication of diamond structures by self-assembly is a fundamental challenge in making three-dimensional photonic crystals. We simulate a system of model hard particles with attractive patches and show that they can self-assemble into a diamond structure from an initially disordered state.

Deep learning on butterfly phenotypes tests evolution's oldest mathematical model [PDF]
Sci Adv 5, eaaw4967 (2019), 2019 Traditional anatomical analyses captured only a fraction of real phenomic information. Here, we apply deep learning to quantify total phenotypic similarity across 2468 butterfly photographs, covering 38 subspecies from the polymorphic mimicry complex of $\textit{Heliconius erato}$ and $\textit{Heliconius melpomene}$.

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.
