The immune system as a social network
Nature Immunology, 2017The immune system employs a multitude of molecules, cells and organs that act together throughout the entire body to guard human health. Much like in a social network, immune cells can exert full functionality only through effective collaboration and communication.

Organisational immunity in social insects
Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2014Selection for disease control is believed to have contributed to shape the organisation of insect societies-leading to interaction patterns that mitigate disease transmission risk within colonies, conferring them 'organisational immunity'. Recent studies combining epidemiological models with social network analysis have identified general properties of

Although pathogens appear to have exerted significant selective pressure on various aspects of sociality, mechanisms of disease resistance in the social insects are poorly understood. We report here on an immune response to infection by the dampwood termite, Zootermopsis angusticollis.

A system for building immunity in social networks
2012 Fourth World Congress on Nature and Biologically Inspired Computing (NaBIC), 2012Social networks are susceptible to rapid spread of malicious information, commonly referred to as rumors. Rumors often spread rapidly through the network and, if not contained quickly, can be harmful. This paper describes a method for identifying highly connected nodes in a social network and using these nodes to build immunity against such malicious ...

AbstractSocial support has been reliably related to lower rates of morbidity and mortality across a number of diseases. However, little is known about the more specific pathways and mechanisms responsible for such links. In this chapter, we argue that part of the link between social support and health is explained by immune-system alternations that, in

Importance of fighting in the immune effects of social defeat
Physiology & Behavior, 2003Social defeat involves a clear physical component in the form of fight-induced injuries. The impact of body injuries on the immune response is not yet well known. In this study we compared the endocrine and immune responses to two types of social defeat in mice, one limiting the occurrence of skin injuries (mild social stress, MSS), and the other not ...

Social Stress Disorders and Immunity.
Russian journal of immunology : RJI : official journal of Russian Society of ImmunologyThis article reviews recent developments in psychoneuroimmunology concerning the relationships between social-stress disorders and the immune system as well as their clinical consequences. In addition, studies exploring the impact of stress-reducing interventions on clinical course of some immunopathological conditions are presented.
