Risk Factors for Tuberculosis by Padmanesan Narasimhan, James Wood, Chandini Raina MacIntyre, Dilip Mathai

“…Along with well-established risk factors (such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), malnutrition, and young age), emerging variables such as diabetes, indoor air pollution, alcohol, use of immunosuppressive drugs, and tobacco smoke play a significant role at both the individual and population level. Socioeconomic and behavioral factors are also shown to increase the susceptibility to infection. …”

Cholecystokinin facilitates the formation of long-term heterosynaptic plasticity in the distal subiculum by Fengwen Huang, Abdul Baset, Stephen Temitayo Bello, Xi Chen, Jufang He

“…Cholecystokinin (CCK), is the most abundant neuropeptide in the central nervous system, which broadly regulates the animal’s physiological status at multiple levels, including neuroplasticity and its behavioral consequences. Here, we uncover that exogenous CCK potentiates the excitatory synaptic transmission in the CA1-SUB projections via CCK-B receptor. …”

Regulation of Th1/Th2 cells in asthma development: A mathematical model by Yangjin Kim, Seongwon Lee, You-Sun Kim, Sean Lawler, Yong Song Gho, Yoon-Keun Kim, Hyung Ju Hwang

“…In the present workwe representthe complex network of interactions between cells and molecules by a mathematical model.The model describes the behaviors of cells (Th0, Th1, Th2 and macrophages)and regulatory molecules (IFN-$\gamma$, IL-4, IL-12, TNF-α) in response tohigh, intermediate, and low levels of LPS.The simulations show howvariations in the levels of injected LPSaffect the development ofTh1 or Th2 cell responses through differential cytokine induction.The model also predicts the coexistence ofthese two types of responseunder certain biochemical and biomechanical conditions in the microenvironment.…”
