A pressure model of immune response to mycobacteriumtuberculosis infection in several space dimensions by Fabrizio Clarelli, Roberto Natalini

“…However, in general, the human immune system is able to contain it. In this work, we propose a mathematical model which describes the early immune response to the Mtb infection in the lungs, also including the possible evolution of the infection in the formation of a granuloma. …”

A fractal–fractional order modeling approach to understanding stem cell-chemotherapy combinations for cancer by Esam Y. Salah, Bhausaheb Sontakke, Ahmed A. Hamoud, Homan. Emadifar, Atul Kumar

“…Also, the result of the numerical simulation and graphic for the concentration of cells over time indicate the effects of the therapies on the decay rate of tumor cells and the growth rate of effector cells to modify the cancer patient’s immune system. It is worth noting that we simulated all the model components with different fractional orders, confirming the effect of stem cell therapy and chemotherapy on the cells and the decay of cancer cells.…”

Single-Cell Transcriptome Analysis Profile of Meniscal Tissue Macrophages in Human Osteoarthritis by Jingbin Zhou, Zhihong Zhao, Chen He, Feng Gao, Yu Guo, Feng Qu, Yujie Liu

“…Unlike rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases, inflammation in OA is chronic and, in relatively low grade, mainly mediated by the innate immune system, especially macrophages. However, due to its low abundance, there is a lack of systematic studies on macrophages in the OA condition. …”

Zygomycosis in Two Hematologic Cases by M. T. García-Romero, J. García-Méndez, R. Arenas, T. Ferrari-Carballo, J. Chanona-Vilchis, E. Cervera-Ceballos

“…Here we present two patients with hematologic diseases (one with leukemia, the second with aplastic anemia) with an impaired immune system and the diagnosis of zygomycosis. The survival of one of them was mainly due to early diagnosis and surgical debridement; unfortunately the second was misdiagnosed as an extensive ecchymosis due to thrombocytopenia and died with CNS involvement.…”
