Herpes Simplex Virus Latency: The DNA Repair-Centered Pathway by Jay C. Brown

“…The pathway is particularly attractive because it is able to account for important features of the latent response, including the specificity for neurons, the specificity for neurons of the peripheral compared to the central nervous system, the high rate of genetic recombination in HSV1-infected cells, and the genetic identity of infecting and reactivated virus.…”

Effects of the Bacterial Extract OM-85 on Phagocyte Functions and the Stress Response by S. Baladi, S. Kantengwa, Y. R. A. Donati, B. S. Polla

“…The effects of the bacterial extract OM-85 on the respiratory burst, intracellular calcium and the stress response have been investigated in human peripheral blood monocytes from normal donors. Activation of the respiratory burst during bacterial phagocytosis has been previously associated with heat shock/stress proteins synthesis. …”

NGF, Brain and Behavioral Plasticity by Alessandra Berry, Erika Bindocci, Enrico Alleva

“…Nerve Growth Factor (NGF) was initially studied for its role as a key player in the regulation of peripheral innervations. However, the successive finding of its release in the bloodstream of male mice following aggressive encounters and its presence in the central nervous system led to the hypothesis that variations in brain NGF levels, caused by psychosocial stressor, and the related alterations in emotionality, could be functional to the development of proper strategies to cope with the stressor itself and thus to survive. …”

Contribution of Neuroinflammation to the Pathogenesis of Cancer Cachexia by Alessio Molfino, Gianfranco Gioia, Filippo Rossi Fanelli, Alessandro Laviano

“…In particular, functional changes are associated with increased hypothalamic concentration of proinflammatory cytokines, which suggests that neuroinflammation may represent the adaptive response of the brain to peripheral challenges, including tumor growth. Within this conceptual framework, the vagus nerve appears to be involved in conveying alert signals to the hypothalamus, whereas hypothalamic serotonin appears to contribute to triggering catabolic signals.…”

A Rare Case of Splenic Marginal Zone B-Cell Lymphoma Mimicking Relapsing Polychondritis of the Ear by Gary J. Huang, Bryan Mendes, Kianoush Sheykholeslami

“…Relapsing polychondritis (RPC) is a poorly understood phenomenon associated with cartilaginous inflammation of the ear, nose, tracheobronchial tree, and peripheral joints. Many cases of RPC respond to anti-inflammatories and resolve with no further complications. …”

The number of nonunimodular roots of a reciprocal polynomial by Stankov, Dragan

“…We introduce a sequence $P_{d}$ of monic reciprocal polynomials with integer coefficients having the central coefficients fixed as well as the peripheral coefficients. We prove that the ratio of the number of nonunimodular roots of $P_{d}$ to its degree $d$ has a limit $L$ when $d$ tends to infinity. …”

O debate da Escola de Frankfurt e suas contribuições para uma reflexão crítica da sociedade contemporânea by Rodrigo Marques Leistner

“…In this perspective, it considers a theoretical division established inside the school itself, whose expression occurs since the epistemological differences existing between the central nucleus of the thinking of the school and a host of peripheral authors. The works produced by this “marginal” nucleus, as well as its posterior refinement in the work of Habermas, present theoretical alternatives of relational features which oppose to the structural and skeptic vision existent in the works of Horkheimer, Adorno and Marcuse. …”

El mascarón arquitectónico preclásico de la Estructura 3 de Chacté, Guatemala by Carlos Morales-Aguilar, Daniel Salazar Lama, Ivan Šprajc, Richard D. Hansen

“…Recent archaeological investigations carried out at the Maya site of Chacté, a peripheral architectural suburb of the ancient city of El Mirador, located in northern Guatemala, revealed an important occupation of the Late Preclassic (ca. 350 BC), a period in which El Mirador and its allied centers reached their peak in cultural development and socio-political terms. …”

New insights into strange-quark hadronization measuring multiple (multi-)strange hadron production in small collision systems with ALICE by Pucillo Sara

“…Among the most important results from the Run-1 and Run-2 of the LHC is the observation of an enhanced production of (multi-)strange to non-strange hadron yields, gradually rising from low-multiplicity to highmultiplicity pp and p–Pb collisions, reaching values close to those measured in peripheral Pb–Pb collisions [1]. The observed behaviour cannot be quantitatively reproduced by any of the available QCD-inspired MC generators. …”
