The Five Elements of Th1-Th2 System [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 The T helper (Th) phenotypes, Th1/Th2, are acquired upon interaction of a naive T helper cell and an antigen presenting cell (APC). Naive T helper cells may differentiate into either phenotype, and the actual outcome is determined by the density and avidity of the antigenic determinants presented by the APC, and the APCs inherent costimulatory ...

Enhanced Terahertz Spectroscopy of a Monolayer Transition Metal Dichalcogenide
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.An ad‐hoc engineered metallic surface is employed to perform enhanced terahertz spectroscopy of a monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD). Thanks to a local absorption boost of 104, this technique allows for the extraction of the phonon resonance features and effective permittivity of the 2D material, paving the way for the rational design of ...

Dissecting the enigma of scleroderma: possible involvement of the kynurenine pathway
Pteridines, 2017 The kynurenine pathway (KP) is the metabolic pathway via which L-tryptophan is converted to nicotinamide. It serves important immune-regulatory roles. This article will review the evidence for involvement of the KP in scleroderma and present a possible ...

Modeling the influence of TH1 and TH2 type cells in autoimmune diseases [PDF]
arXiv, 2000 A sharp TH1/TH2 dichotomy has often been used to define the effects of cytokines on autoimmune diseases. However contradictory results in recent research indicate that the situation may be more complex. We build here a simple mathematical model aimed at settling the contradictions.

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This review highlights recent advances in engineering artificial antigen‐presenting cells (aAPCs) as alternatives to dendritic cells for T cell expansion. Key design principles inspired by the immunological synapse are discussed, with emphasis on strategies for polyclonal and antigen‐specific T cell expansion.

Role of eosinophils in protective immunity against secondary nematode infections
Immunological Medicine, 2019 Infections with parasites, especially those involving nematodes that invade tissues, induce a strong Th2-type immune response, which increases immunoglobulin E and eosinophil levels in the blood and tissues.

Omnidirectional Transmissive Acoustic Metasurfaces Based on Goldberg Polyhedra
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.This study introduces omnidirectional acoustic metasurfaces capable of manipulating wavefronts in multiple arbitrary directions simultaneously. A full‐stack pipeline for design, optimization, and fabrication is presented to construct near‐spherical holograms based on Goldberg polyhedra.

Recent Developments in Immune Network Theory including a concept for an HIV Vaccine [PDF]
arXiv, 2008 The symmetrical network theory is a framework for understanding the immune system, that dates back to the mid 1970s. The symmetrical network theory is based on symmetrical stimulatory, inhibitory and killing interactions between clones that are specific for each other.
