Guarding the frontiers: the biology of type III interferons [PDF]
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 tissues. IFN-λs thereby help to maintain healthy mucosal surfaces through immune protection, without

Abstract interpretation and types for systems biology
AbstractAbstract interpretation is a theory of abstraction that has been introduced for the analysis of programs. In particular, it has proved useful for organizing the multiple semantics of a given programming language in a hierarchy corresponding to different detail levels, and for defining type systems for programming languages and program analyzers

Strong convergence and stability of implicit numerical methods for stochastic differential equations with non-globally Lipschitz continuous coefficients [PDF]
We are interested in the strong convergence and almost sure stability of Euler-Maruyama (EM) type approximations to the solutions of stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with non-linear and non-Lipschitzian coefficients. Motivation comes from finance

Recent advances in the structural and molecular biology of type IV secretion systems [PDF]
Bacteria use type IV secretion (T4S) systems to deliver DNA and protein substrates to a diverse range of prokaryotic and eukaryotic target cells. T4S systems have great impact on human health, as they are a major source of antibiotic resistance spread ...

Reproducible research using biomodels [PDF]
Like other types of computational research, modeling and simulation of biological processes (biomodels) is still largely communicated without sufficient detail to allow independent reproduction of results. But reproducibility in this area of research could easily be achieved by making use of existing resources, such as supplying models in standard ...
