Biological charge transfer via flickering resonance

Zhang, Y.; Liu, C.; Balaeff, A.; Skourtis, Spiros S.; Beratan, David N. (2014)

Biological electron-transfer (ET) reactions are typically described in the framework of coherent two-state electron tunneling or multistep hopping. However, these ET reactions may involve multiple redox cofactors in van ...

The complex pathogenesis of bacteremia: From antimicrobial clearance mechanisms to the genetic background of the host

Christaki, Eirini; Giamarellos-Bourboulis, Evangelos J. (2014)

Bacteremia develops when bacteria manage to escape the host immune mechanisms or when the otherwise well-orchestrated immune response fails to control bacterial spread due to inherent or acquired immune defects that are ...

Crossreactivity to vinculin and microbes provides a molecular basis for HLA-based protection against rheumatoid arthritis

Van Heemst, J.; Jansen, D. T. S. L.; Polydorides, Savvas; Moustakas, Antonis K.; Bax, M.; Feitsma, A. L.; Bontrop-Elferink, D. G.; Baarse, M.; Van Der Woude, D.; Wolbink, G. -J; Rispens, T.; Koning, F.; De Vries, R. R. P.; Papadopoulos, George K.; Archontis, Georgios Z.; Huizinga, T. W.; Toes, R. E. (2015)

The HLA locus is the strongest risk factor for anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) + rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Despite considerable efforts in the last 35 years, this association is poorly understood. Here we ...

Evaluation of novel, cationic electrospun microfibrous membranes as adsorbents in bacteria removal

Papaphilippou, Petri Ch; Vyrides, Ioannis; Mpekris, Fotios; Stylianopoulos, Triantafyllos; Papatryfonos, Charalambos A.; Theocharis, Charis R.; Krasia‐Christoforou, Theodora (2015)

Electrospun microfibrous membranes comprised of poly(methyl methacrylate)-poly((2-diethylamino)ethyl methacrylate) random copolymers (PMMA-co-PDEAEMA) of various chemical compositions blended together with a commercially ...

Human pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and viruses in Drosophila

Panayidou, S.; Ioannidou, E.; Apidianakis, Yiorgos (2014)

Drosophila has been the invertebrate model organism of choice for the study of innate immune responses during the past few decades. Many Drosophila-microbe interaction studies have helped to define innate immunity pathways, ...

Portable parallel implementation of two novel mathematical biology algorithms in ZPL

Dikaiakos, Marios D.; Manoussaki, Daphne; Lin, Calvin; Woodward, Diana E. (ACM, 1995)

This paper shows that mathematical models of biological pattern formation are ideally suited to data parallelism. We present two new algorithms, one for simulating the dynamic structure of fibroblasts, and the other for ...

Ras-oncogenic Drosophila hindgut but not midgut cells use an inflammation-like program to disseminate to distant sites

Christofi, T.; Apidianakis, Yiorgos (2013)

The gastrointestinal tract is habitable by a variety of microorganisms and it is often a tissue inflicted by inflammation. Much discussion is raised in recent years about the role of microbiota in intestinal inflammation, ...
