Drosophila melanogaster as a model host for studying Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection

Apidianakis, Yiorgos; Rahme, L. G. (2009)

Conservation of host signaling pathways and tissue physiology between Drosophila melanogaster and mammals allows for the modeling of human host-pathogen interactions in Drosophila. Here we present the use of genetically ...

Frailty models for arbitrarily censored and truncated data

Huber-Carol, C.; Vonta, Filia (2004)

In this paper, we propose a frailty model for statistical inference in the case where we are faced with arbitrarily censored and truncated data. Our results extend those of Alioum and Commenges (1996), who developed a ...

Parental origin-specific developmental defects in mice with uniparental disomy for chromosome 12

Georgiades, Pantelis; Watkins, M.; Surani, M. A.; Ferguson-Smith, A. C. (2000)

Genetic analysis has shown that the distal portion of mouse chromosome 12 is imprinted

A quorum sensing regulated small volatile molecule reduces acute virulence and promotes chronic infection phenotypes

Kesarwani, M.; Hazan, R.; He, J.; Que, Y.; Apidianakis, Yiorgos; Lesic, B.; Xiao, G.; Dekimpe, V.; Milot, S.; Déziel, Eric; Lépine, F.; Rahme, L. G. (2011)

A significant number of environmental microorganisms can cause serious, even fatal, acute and chronic infections in humans. The severity and outcome of each type of infection depends on the expression of specific bacterial ...

Variable selection strategies in survival models with multiple imputations

Vonta, Filia; Karagrigoriou, Alex (2007)

In this paper, the variable selection strategies (criteria) are thoroughly discussed and their use in various survival models is investigated. The asymptotic efficiency property, in the sense of Shibata Ann Stat 8: 147-164, ...
