On the Global Dynamics of a Vector-Borne Disease Model with Age of Vaccination by Stanislas Ouaro, Ali Traoré

“…The global dynamics of the equilibria are investigated and we show that if the basic reproduction number is less than 1, then the disease-free equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable; that is, the disease dies out, while if the basic reproduction number is larger than 1, then the endemic equilibrium is globally asymptotically stable, which means that the disease persists in the population. …”

Immunomodulatory role of phagocyte-derived chloramines involving lymphocyte glutathione by Véronique Witko-Sarsat, Anh Thu Nguyen, Béatrice Descamps-Latscha

“…This study shows that human lymphocytes markedly decrease chloramines (long-lived oxidants) generated by polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) after stimulation by phorbol-myristate-acetate or opsonized zymosan. In a cell-free model, reduced glutathione (GSH) scavenged chloramines, giving rise to oxidized glutathione (GSSG). …”

Synthesis, Spectroscopic, and Antimicrobial Studies on Bivalent Nickel and Copper Complexes of Bis(thiosemicrbazone) by Sulekh Chandra, Smriti Raizada, Monika Tyagi, Archana Gautam

“…On the basis of spectral studies, an octahedral geometry has been assigned for Ni(II) complexes but a tetragonal geometry for Cu(II) complexes. The free ligand and its metal complexes have been tested in vitro against a number of microorganisms in order to assess their antimicrobial properties.…”

Vastly different energy landscapes of the membrane insertions of monomeric gasdermin D and A3 by Viktoria Korn, Kristyna Pluhackova

“…To unveil the process of their pore formation, we examine the energy landscapes upon insertion of the gasdermin D and A3 monomers into a lipid bilayer by extensive atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. We reveal a lower free energy barrier of membrane insertion for gasdermin D than for gasdermin A3 and a preference of gasdermin D for the membrane-inserted and of gasdermin A3 for the membrane-adsorbed state, suggesting that gasdermin D first inserts and then oligomerizes while gasdermin A3 oligomerizes and then inserts. …”
