Scaling in the immune system
How different is the immune system in a human from that of a mouse? Do pathogens replicate at the same rate in different species? Answers to these questions have impact on human health since multi-host pathogens that jump from animals to humans affect millions worldwide. It is not known how rates …

Senescence and the Innate Immune System
… Senescent cells are removed by the innate immune system, including natural killer (NK) cells, during normal embryonic development and healthy wound healing. Since eradication of senescent cells in mice leads to resistance against age-related disorders and functional restoration, one …

Assessment of Immune System Involvement in Tourette Syndrome
<p>Tourette syndrome (TS) is currently hypothesized to be the result of genetic and immunological components. This study investigated whether TS subjects produce IgG and IgA antibodies that bind to caudate nucleus, hippocampus, frontal cortex, cerebellum, thalamus, globus pallidus interior, …

Immune system involvement in metal hip implant failure
… in Norfolk using the Ultima TPS MoM THR system (DePuy) which resulted in a high rate of early implant failure (27.4% at year 7). One of the proposed reasons for MoM THR failure is the adverse reaction to metal wear debris and consequent immune system mediated osteolysis resulting in …

Mitigating and exploiting stochasticity in the immune system
In the adaptive immune system of higher organisms, T cells are responsible for detecting infections and mounting a response. It is of great importance that T cells respond accurately to very small traces of pathogenic signal in a background sea of healthy cells, to which mounting an immune response …

The Behavioral immune system and attitudes toward COVID-19
The Behavioral Immune System acts as the first line of defense against harmful pathogens. One of the primary functions of this system is the emotion of disgust. It compels individuals to adopt socially conservative attitudes to avoid people and stimuli that could infect the individual with an …

Influence of gut microbiota on immune system in infants
… has been done on the effect of the microbiota on immune system at infancy, thus an analysis of the microbial ecology present in the infant's gut and its correlation with immune activation is needed. Expression of genes involved in mediating and regulating immunity can be measured as an indicator …

Association Between Fluoride Exposure and Immune System Biomarkers in Pregnancy
… fluoride exposure is associated with maternal immune system function in a Canadian pregnancy cohort. Methods: Urinary fluoride concentrations were measured in each trimester, dilution-adjusted, and averaged across pregnancy. Drinking water fluoride concentrations (WFC) were collected from water …

Effect of fatty acids and programming on the immune system
… suggested that fatty acids (FAs) may affect the immune system, through their (and those of their metabolites) effects on membranes, mediators, and gene expression. However, despite the research carried out, there still exist gaps of knowledge where further research is required. In addition, …

Mathematical and Numerical Investigation of Immune System Development and Function
… to provide hypotheses on the mechanisms of immune response formation and function. The immune system, comprised of the innate and adaptive immune responses, is responsible for protecting the body against invading pathogens, with disease or vaccine induced immune memory leading to fast …

Functional Organization of Molecular Memories in the CRISPR-Cas Immune System
<p>CRISPR-Cas systems endow bacteria and archaea with adaptive immunity against foreign genetic threats, like phages and plasmids. These immune systems are comprised of CRISPR-associated (Cas) protein effectors and DNA-based storage of immunological memories in the CRISPR array. The CRISPR array is …

Modulation of Obesity and its Sequelae by Microbiome/Immune System Interactions
… by examining its mediate effects on the immune system. </p><p>In particular, we addressed the role of Segmented Filamentous Bacteria (SFB), a specific constituent of the intestinal microbiota with defined immunostimulatory properties, in the development and maintenance of obesity and in …
