A Mathematical Model for the Within-Host Dynamics of Malaria Parasite with Adaptive Immune Responses by Jemal Muhammed Ahmed, Getachew Tashome Tilahun, Shambel Tadesse Degefa

“…In this study, we develop a within-host mathematical model of the malaria parasite dynamics with the effect of an adaptive immune response. The model includes six compartments, namely, the uninfected red blood cells, infected red blood cells, merozoites, gametocytes, cytotoxic T cells immune response, and antibodies immune response, which are activated in the host to attack the parasite. …”

Possible Implication of Local Immune Response in Darier's Disease: An Immunohistochemical Characterization of Lesional Inflammatory Infiltrate by Clelia Miracco, Francesco Pietronudo, Vasileios Mourmouras, Michele Pellegrino, Monica Onorati, Maria Grazia Mastrogiulio, Luca Cantarini, Pietro Luzi

“…We hypothesize that the genetic damage of keratinocytes might result in a loss of some subsets of dendritic cells and, consequently, in an impaired local immune response, which might worsen the infections that inevitably occur in this disease.…”

PMA1-containing extracellular vesicles of Candida albicans triggers immune responses and colitis progression by Zhen Xu, Shuping Qiao, Zelin Wang, Chen Peng, Yayi Hou, Baorui Liu, Guochun Cao, Tingting Wang

“…Candida albicans (C. albicans) exhibits aberrant changes in patients with colitis, and it has been reported to dominate the colonic mucosal immune response. Here, we found that PMA1 expression was significantly increased in C. albicans from patients with IBD compared to that in healthy controls. …”

Bifurcation analysis of HIV-1 infection model with cell-to-cell transmission and immune response delay by Jinhu Xu, Yicang Zhou

“…A within-host viral infection model with both virus-to-cell and cell-to-cell transmissions and time delay in immune response is investigated. Mathematical analysis shows that delay may destabilize the infected steady state and lead to Hopf bifurcation. …”

The objectives of the study were to determine whether colposcopic lesion area is associated with serum levels of cytokines IL (interleukin) − 1, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12 and TNF-α in precursor lesions of cervical cancer.Methods: The study population comprised patients with high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion who had undergone colposcopy, cervical biopsy, and measurements of serum cytokines by ELISA (Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay). …”
