Macroscopic Quantum-Type Potentials in Theoretical Systems Biology [PDF]
Cells, 2013 We review in this paper the use of the theory of scale relativity and fractal space-time as a tool particularly well adapted to the possible development of a future genuine systems theoretical biology.

Toward Plant Single Cell Type Systems Biology [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 The molecular responses of a plant to a stress and the molecular profiles of plant organs during their development and differentiation are the reflection of the contribution from different cell types composing the plant and the organs. Hence, a major limitation to understanding plant cellular and molecular responses in different cells is the ...

The integrative biology of type 2 diabetes [PDF]
Nature, 2019 Obesity and type 2 diabetes are the most frequent metabolic disorders, but their causes remain largely unclear. Insulin resistance, the common underlying abnormality, results from imbalance between energy intake and expenditure favouring nutrient-storage pathways, which evolved to maximize energy utilization and preserve adequate substrate supply to ...

Guarding the frontiers: the biology of type III interferons [PDF]
Nature Immunology, 2015 Type III interferons (IFNs) or IFN-λs regulate a similar set of genes as type I IFNs, but whereas type I IFNs act globally, IFN-λs primarily target mucosal epithelial cells and protect them against the frequent viral attacks that are typical for barrier ...

Sex differences in neutrophil biology modulate response to type I interferons and immunometabolism [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2020 Significance Despite clear differences in female and male immunity that may contribute to variations in response to infections and predisposition to cancer and autoimmunity, the exact mechanisms that drive this stark contrast remain insufficiently ...

NK cell-based cancer immunotherapy: from basic biology to clinical development
Journal of Hematology & Oncology, 2021 Natural killer (NK) cell is a specialized immune effector cell type that plays a critical role in immune activation against abnormal cells. Different from events required for T cell activation, NK cell activation is governed by the interaction of NK ...
