The immune system is a complex system of cells and molecules that can provide us with a
basic defense against pathogenic organisms. Like the nervous system, the immune system …

Mathematical and computational approaches provide powerful tools in the study of problems
in population biology and ecosystems science. The subject has a rich history intertwined …

Clearly, nature has been very effective in creating organisms that are capable of protecting
themselves against a wide variety of pathogens such as bacteria, fungi, and parasites. The …

One of the most complicated organs of higher organisms is the immune system. The function
of the immune system is to fight off pathogenic organisms that enter and grow within the host …

Although most mutations are deleterious, an interplay between somatic mutation and
selection within germinal centers (GC) results in rapid generation of high affinity memory B …

Objective: To design a pattern recognition engine based on concepts derived from
mammalian immune systems. Design: A supervised learning system (Immunos-81) was …

Differentiation of uncommitted T cells into Th1 and Th2 subpopulations depends on both
intracellular events controlling expression of transcription factors T-bet and GATA-3 and …

Helper T (Th) cells are a crucial component of the adaptive immune system and are of
fundamental importance in orchestrating the appropriate response to pathogenic challenge …

This paper investigates the stability and instability of a generalized reaction-diffusion-
advection system, which describes a cross-talk between antigens and immune cells via …

Airway exposure levels of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) determine type I versus type II helper T
cell induced experimental asthma. While high LPS levels induce Th1-dominant responses …
