A mathematical model for within-host Toxoplasma gondii invasion dynamics by Adam Sullivan, Folashade Agusto, Sharon Bewick, Chunlei Su, Suzanne Lenhart, Xiaopeng Zhao

“…The model considers theinvasion process, egress kinetics, interconversion between fast-replicatingtachyzoite stage and slowly replicating bradyzoite stage, as well as thehost's immune response. Analytical and numerical studies of the model can helpto understand the influences of various parameters to the transient andsteady-state dynamics of the disease infection.…”

Exosome-Derived microRNA: Potential Target for Diagnosis and Treatment of Sepsis by Yujie Xiao, Yixuan Yuan, Dahai Hu, Hongtao Wang

“…This review comprehensively explores the biology of exosome-derived miRNAs, which originate from both immune cells (such as macrophages and dendritic cells) and nonimmune cells (such as endothelial and epithelial cells) and play a dynamic role in modulating pathways that affect the course of sepsis, including those related to inflammation, immune response, cell survival, and apoptosis. Taking into account these dynamic changes, we further discuss the potential of exosome-derived miRNAs as biomarkers for the early detection and prognosis of sepsis and advantages over traditional biomarkers due to their stability and specificity. …”
