The researchers studied how cells communicate and the role of misfolded proteins in neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's. They found that while some patients exposed to misfolded proteins through growth hormone treatment did not develop higher risks of these diseases, the proteins can transmit between cells. Separate researchers discovered the HIV protein NEF helps the virus multiply by evading the immune system. Tracking NEF's activity linked it to an enzyme that aids viral replication. A compound was found that blocks NEF's dimerization, reducing its role in viral replication. This discovery of NEF's function has great potential for developing treatments to stop HIV's spread.

chronopharmacology credit seminar by Pankaj.N.Kapgate pankajkap147
Pankaj Kapgate from Nagpur Veterinary College presented a seminar on chronopharmacology. Chronopharmacology is concerned with how the effects of drugs vary over biological times and rhythms. There are circadian (24-hour), ultradian (<20 hour), and infradian (>28 hour) rhythms in physiology and behavior. The suprachiasmatic nucleus acts as the biological clock, coordinating rhythms. Chronotherapy aims to time drug administration and dosage to biological rhythms to increase efficacy and safety. Allergic reactions, asthma attacks, cancer cell proliferation, and stroke risk vary over circadian rhythms. New drug delivery systems aim to match release profiles to rhythms. Chronopharmacology may help

Explore the cell's role in mediating adverse reactions 7 c09Paul Thiessen
This document discusses the role of neutrophils and macrophages in mediating various physiological and pathological processes. It summarizes several scientific studies that found:
1) Neutrophils can be recruited by substances like gliadin and mediate local inflammatory responses in tissues like the intestine.
2) Neutrophils and macrophages produce reactive molecules that can damage cells and tissues, and their activation levels correlate with conditions like infertility and acute coronary syndrome.
3) Chronic activation of the innate immune system by these cells may underlie metabolic syndrome by stimulating inflammation and hormonal changes.
4) Oxidative stress can increase blood levels of modified lipids implicated in atherosclerosis, coinciding with increased neutrophil counts.
1) The document discusses several cases of infants who experienced fractures, retinal hemorrhages, and brain injuries. In each case, the injuries were attributed to Shaken Baby Syndrome but the author argues they were actually due to an autoimmune response triggered by vaccination or infection.
2) The author's hypothesis is that vaccination or infection damages the beta cells in the pancreas, causing hypoinsulinemia. This inhibits cellular uptake of vitamin C, leading to "tissue scurvy" and failure of proteins involved in coagulation. This results in the bruising, bleeding, and fractures seen in the "triad".
3) Blood tests in the cases showed markers of coagulation disorders, vitamin deficiencies, and

This document discusses the notion of food allergy in irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Recent evidence suggests that elimination diets based on foods against which patients have raised IgG antibodies can significantly reduce IBS symptom severity. The findings encourage further study of the mechanisms behind IgG production against dietary antigens and their potential role in IBS. A healthy gut microbiota is an important part of gut barrier function, and the role of the gut microbiota in IBS pathogenesis deserves closer examination. Modulating the gut microbiota composition or activity could provide novel therapeutic approaches for IBS beyond elimination diets.
Role of Breast-Feeding in Early Development of Immune System in InfantsAriyanto Harsono
Breastfeeding plays an important role in the development of an infant's immune system. The document discusses how an infant's immune system is still maturing in the first years of life, leaving them more susceptible to infections. Breastmilk supports immune maturation by providing antibodies and modulating the infant's immune response. Impaired immune development in infancy can increase the risk of allergies and autoimmune diseases later in life. The interplay between genes, nutrition from breastfeeding, and the infant's environment all influence how their immune system develops.
The document summarizes two scientific articles about differences between immune cells in children and adults. It finds that CD4 T-cells in children are less able to fight infections than adult CD4 T-cells due to lower antiviral cytokine levels. It also discusses research on how T-cells divide asymmetrically, which could help improve cancer immunotherapy by prolonging the lifespan of anti-tumor T-cells. The studies provide a basis for further investigations into strengthening children's immunity and developing new therapies.

It also discusses research on how T-cells divide asymmetrically, which could help improve cancer immunotherapy by prolonging the lifespan of anti-tumor T-cells. The studies provide a basis for further investigations into strengthening children's immunity and developing new therapies.
Food allergy has been long recognized and well documented. Other adverse reactions to foods first referred to as “toxic idiopathies” by John Freeman, co inventor of immunotherapy, at the early part of the 1900s can be mediated by and have their impact on the nervous and endocrine systems. It can also be mediated by pharmacologic mechanisms and can also affect any part of the body. There’s a great clinical need to accurately identify triggers of adverse reactivity as they have now been linked with even the most serious of modern maladies and diseases. In fact, inflammation is the hallmark of metabolic syndrome. Given the multitude of pathogenic mechanisms underlying adverse reactions to foods and other environmental exposures it is necessary that a utilizable and cost effective technology be understood so that its application be utilized under the appropriate circumstances.
KEY LEARNING POINTS
• The natural ability of certain foods to initiate an inflammatory response and induce metabolic disruptions and counterbalancing mechanisms to prevent that
• How foods can trigger “danger signals” for the immune system
Pharmacologic vs. immunologic reactions to foods
• Is there a common final pathway of all these mechanisms that can reliably indicate triggers of clinical pathology?
• Cellular testing vs. serologic testing: The advantages of cellular testing

Explore the world of polyclonal antibodies in this investigation, learning about their subtleties, how they differ from monoclonal antibodies, and the role they play in the body's defenses
The document summarizes two scientific studies about differences in immune cells between children and adults. The first study found that CD4 T-cells in children secrete lower levels of cytokines needed to fight infections than adult immune cells. This may explain why children are more susceptible to illness. The second study discovered a protein that causes T-cells to divide asymmetrically, generating cells with different characteristics, and this process could be targeted to improve cancer immunotherapy by helping anti-tumor cells remain in the body longer. The research contributes to developing better vaccines and therapies to prevent or treat diseases by increasing understanding of immune systems and cell functions.
CAR-T cells are genetically modified T cells that are designed to target and destroy cancer cells. They contain chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) that allow them to recognize specific antigens on tumor cells independently of the normal T cell receptor. The CAR is composed of an extracellular antigen recognition domain attached to transmembrane and co-stimulatory domains, allowing the modified T cells to directly bind and kill cancer cells upon antigen recognition and initiate an immune response against the tumor.
This document summarizes 6 case studies of children who experienced fractures, retinal hemorrhages, and brain injuries. In each case, the injuries were initially attributed to non-accidental trauma (such as shaken baby syndrome), but laboratory tests revealed evidence of autoimmune reactions, vitamin deficiencies, and coagulation disorders following vaccination or childhood illness. The document argues that fractures, hemorrhages, and encephalopathy in these cases were actually caused by an autoimmune response to antigenic stimulation from vaccines or infections, rather than abuse.
This document provides information about cellular immunity, humoral immunity, immunoglobulins, and other topics related to the immune system. It discusses how cellular immunity involves T cells that activate other immune cells rather than directly attacking pathogens. Humoral immunity results in the production of antibodies. There are five classes of immunoglobulins - IgG, IgM, IgA, IgD, and IgE - which have different structures, locations in the body, functions, and other characteristics. The document also covers MHC molecules, hypersensitivity reactions, immune suppression, vaccine preparation methods, and hybridoma technology.
This document summarizes research being conducted by Christopher Jewell, an assistant professor in the Fischell Department of Bioengineering, to develop a cancer vaccine for neuroblastoma. The vaccine uses biodegradable polymer depots injected into lymph nodes to deliver tumor antigens and immune signals to stimulate T cells and transform them into long-lasting memory T cells. This is hoped to generate an immune response capable of clearing existing tumors and keeping patients in remission by destroying any recurring tumor cells. The research is supported by a grant from the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation and a collaboration with Children's National Medical Center. Jewell believes this approach could lead to new cancer therapies and help fight diseases like neuroblastoma that currently have poor
This article discusses recent advances in understanding the immune system's response to cancer. It identifies three key points:
1) Tumor antigens that the immune system can recognize have been identified, including molecules that are unique to cancer cells (tumor-specific) and molecules expressed differently by cancer and normal cells (tumor-associated). Over 100 peptides have been identified, some from unique mutations and most from proteins differentially expressed in tumors.
2) Cancers can elicit inflammatory responses through danger signals and tumor antigens, supporting the concept of "immunosurveillance" where the immune system recognizes and eliminates malignant cells. However, tumors can also suppress immunity through mechanisms like regulatory T cells and immunosuppressive enzymes.

Proteomic Analysis of the Serum and Excretory-Secretary proteins of Trichinel...AmalDhivaharS
The nematodes of the genus Trichinella are known to cause the pressing foodborne parasitic disease Trichinellosis and these parasites are known to complete all stages of development in one host with the enteral and parenteral phases observed during infection. Proteomics, in general, pertains to the systematic identification and quantification of the totality of proteins, which is the proteome of a biological system, at a specific point in time. The available proteomic studies have paved the way to identify and characterize Trichinella stage-specific proteins reacting with infected host-specific antibodies. Yet, very few contributions provide any information about changes in the global proteomic serum profile of Trichinella-infested individuals. Studies demonstrate that various Trichinella species and their phases of the invasion produce a characteristic proteomic pattern in the serum of experimentally infected pigs. Recent investigations have found that T. spiralis infection induced strong regulatory T cell responses through parasite excretory-secretory (ES) products, characterized by an increase of some regulatory T cells and growth factors. T. spiralis has also been reported to induce the angiogenic molecule vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF) during nurse cell formation towards the induction of angiogenesis for nutrient supply and waste disposal. Herein, the various analogs considered in these studies include the serum, excretory-secretory proteins, surface proteins, immune-reactive proteins from muscle larvae (ML) and so on. Intestinal cultures, striated muscle tissues, pigs, mice, beavers, contributions from patients are some of the major models exploited for this purpose. The current analysis focuses on recapitulating the recent findings driven on this area to create a common ground for further studies and to ease any difficulty in continuing the proteomic analysis of T. spiralis using in vitro and in vivo models.
The document summarizes new initiatives at NYU Langone Medical Center's Division of Rheumatology including the establishment of the Colton Center for Autoimmunity and the NYU Psoriatic Arthritis Center with philanthropic support. It highlights research on links between certain bacteria and autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and efforts to understand the role of the microbiome in disease development and progression.
This document summarizes key advances in neurogastroenterology and motility research from 2011. Three main points are:
1) Studies showed that gut microbes and nutrients can affect mood and food intake through the vagus nerve and endocannabinoid signaling. Stress was also found to exacerbate visceral pain through changes in primary afferent neurons and spinal glia.
2) Two studies provided evidence that enteric glia can generate new neurons in the gut after injury, indicating they may serve as neuronal precursors.
3) Research found that neuronal serotonin protects the enteric nervous system and regulates motility and inflammation, while mucosal serotonin contributes to visceral pain. A new

The NUDE mouse is a model of primary immunodeficiency. It has a recessive gene that causes hairlessness and an underdeveloped thymus, resulting in a lack of T cells and an inability to mount cell-mediated immune responses or produce antibodies to most antigens. Researchers use NUDE mice to study immune responses, test therapies for immunodeficiency disorders, and develop tumor xenografts since they cannot reject grafts.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...Leonel Morgado
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

The technology uses reclaimed CO₂ as the dyeing medium in a closed loop process. When pressurized, CO₂ becomes supercritical (SC-CO₂). In this state CO₂ has a very high solvent power, allowing the dye to dissolve easily.
Or: Beyond linear.
Abstract: Equivariant neural networks are neural networks that incorporate symmetries. The nonlinear activation functions in these networks result in interesting nonlinear equivariant maps between simple representations, and motivate the key player of this talk: piecewise linear representation theory.

It is used to detect the micronuclei formation inside the cells of nearly every multicellular organism. It's formation takes place during chromosomal sepration at metaphase.
ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

The cost of acquiring information by natural selectionCarl Bergstrom
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

“The immunobiology of Interleukin-21 in
immunity and autoimmunity”
Monday 21st
October, 2013 12PM, NAB AUDITORIUM
Host: A/Professor Robert Brink
Cecile King's research focus over the past 15 years has been in the field of autoimmune disease and T cell immunobiology. CK completed her PhD in
Immunology at the Telethon Institute for Child Health/University of Western Australia in 1999. At completion of the PhD, CK was appointed as a
Research Associate at the Department of Immunology, Scripps Research Institute in the Laboratory of Nora Sarvetnick. CK returned to Australia in
2005 and has since established her own independent research group at the Garvan Institute. Cecile King's lab is interested mucosal autoimmunity.
In type 1 diabetes (T1D), the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas are destroyed by self-tissue- destructive T cells. These cells express
markers that help us to determine, for example, their dependence upon growth factors and where they have been in the body. We are particularly
interested in the relationship between the cells that cause autoimmune diseases that develop at the mucosal interface between our bodies and the
environment. Broad-based suppression is commonly used to treat autoimmune diseases and transplant recipients but it has an obvious drawback
since we need a functioning immune system in order to thrive. The overall goal of our work is to analyse pathways that can be modulated to
improve immunity in individuals during vaccination, and limit the immune responses that cause damage to both endogenous tissues and
transplanted tissues in autoimmune diseases.
