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 …

Incubation temperature and post-hatch stress effects on immune parameters, immune system development, and performance in commercial broilers
… upon the embryo and post-hatch chick and impact immune system development and lifetime performance of the bird. The objective of the first study was to evaluate incubation temperature and post-hatch transportation environment on response parameters indicative of early immunity in the neonatal …

Effects of Yeast Product on Modulating the Adaptive Immune Function in Broilers
… the effect of yeast products on the broiler immune function. The broilers were vaccinated for Newcastle Disease Virus on day 1 (B1 strain) and day 21 (LaSota strain) via eye drop. Body weights, feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, and mortality were recorded to monitor growth performance. …

Unravelling the impact of early-life nutrition on microbiota-gut-brain axis signalling
… life is a key factor mediating immunity, neurodevelopment, and behavioural outcomes across the lifespan. Optimal nutrition in the first 1000 days of life, starting from preconception to early childhood, are essential for optimal growth, brain and immune system function. Growing lines of …

Effects of Diethylstilbestrol on Murine Early Embryonic Stem Cell Differentiation Using an Embryoid Body Culture System
Objectives: The effects of estrogens on immune system formation and function are well documented. Diethylstilbestrol (DES), a synthetic estrogen, has been linked to neoplasia and immune cell dysfunction in humans and animals exposed in-utero. In-vitro effects of DES exposure of murine embryonic …

Comparison of dispersion metrics for estimating transcriptional noise in single-cell RNA-seq data and applications to cardiomyocyte biology
… a number of biological processes, including in immune system development and in aging. Yet, the most appropriate method for measuring transcriptional variability in single-cell data has remained relatively unclear. Here, we simulated single-cell data with varying dispersion and dataset size to …

Immunotoxicological Evaluation Of Critical Windows Of Development Following Exposure to 1,2:5,6 Dibenzanthracene in B6C3F1 Mice
… effects of DBA on various stages of immune system development. Adult mice were administered DBA daily in corn oil at dose levels of 158, 500, 1580, and 5000 µglkg S.C. for 28 days. Immunosuppression was not observed at levels less than 5000 µgkg in the following immune parameters: NK …

In ovo supplementation of Primalac and the effects on performance and immune response of broilers
… bacteria for stimulating intestinal and immune system development, and warding off enteric threats. Three studies were conducted to evaluate the effects of in ovo administration of Primalac in broilers. The objective of the first study was to determine the effects of administering …

Aircraft Abnormal Conditions Detection, Identification, and Evaluation Using Innate and Adaptive Immune Systems Interaction
… operation safety in all situations, intelligent system monitoring and adaptation must rely on accurately detecting the presence of abnormal conditions as soon as they take place, identifying their root cause(s), estimating their nature and severity, and predicting their impact on the flight …

Examination of Placenta and Child Saliva Samples Associated with Childhood Allergy Development
… placental gene expression involved in regulating immune system development. Furthermore, we hypothesised that products of altered placental genes are indirect measures of altered protein concentrations in the saliva of children with allergies. The aim of this PhD thesis was to identify proteins …

An exploration of parasite-microbiota interactions in the ruminant gastrointestinal tract and insights into the antibacterial role of helminth excretory-secretory products
… mechanisms, that include modulation of the host immune system and of the commensal GI microbiota. For ruminants in particular, the composition of the gut microbiota is key for digestion of foodstuff and processing of nutrients that result in meat, dairy and/or wool production, as well as …

The gut microbiome: A key regulator of mucosal tolerance, barrier function, and vaccine response
… plays a vital role in host metabolism, immune system development, and protection against pathogenic microbes, underscoring the intricate symbiotic relationship between the host and its microbial inhabitants. To better understand the role of the microbiota in maintaining gut health and …
