Chronic stress and disease resistance in the genome model marine seaweed Ectocarpus siliculosus
(2013)In order to test the capacity of the genome model seaweed Ectocarpus siliculosus to acquire disease resistance, plantlets were repeatedly treated with the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) linolenic and arachidonic acid ... -
Complement: An inflammatory pathway fulfilling multiple roles at the interface of innate immunity and development
(2005)Complement has been long perceived as an innate immune system that plays a pivotal role in the maintenance of host defense against infectious agents and the propagation of proinflammatory responses in the context of human ... -
Determination of antigenic properties of vaccine derived poliovirus strains
(2010)In this study, the immunity level of the southern Greek population in the 1-10-year, 11-20-year, 21-30-year and 31-40-year age groups with regard to Sabin vaccine strains and a collection of 11 recombinant and three ... -
Immune response to the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 vaccines: Is it sustained in the diabetes population?
(2022)[No abstract available] -
Infectious triggers of primary biliary cirrhosis: Do we know enough?
(2011)Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is an immune mediated liver disease directed against the biliary epithelial cells of the small bile ducts. The disease is characterised by circulating antimitochondrial antibodies (AMA), as ... -
Infectome: A platform to trace infectious triggers of autoimmunity
(2013)The "exposome" is a term recently used to describe all environmental factors, both exogenous and endogenous, which we are exposed to in a lifetime. It represents an important tool in the study of autoimmunity, complementing ... -
Is anorexia during infection in animals affected by food composition?
(2010)A reduction in voluntary food intake, referred to as anorexia, is a consistent feature of infection in both humans and animals. Its Occurrence is considered a paradox and the magnitude and duration of anorexia appear to ... -
A mathematical model of HIV dynamics in the presence of a rescuing virus with replication deficiency
(2011)Recently, an enzyme (Cre recombinase) has been developed by directed evolution that successfully removes the HIV genome from the nuclear DNA of infected cells. To explore this idea further, we hypothesized that a replication ... -
Popular and unpopular infectious agents linked to primary biliary cirrhosis
(2012)Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a progressive cholestatic liver disease characterized by the autoimmune destruction of the biliary epithelial cells of the small and medium-size bile ducts. The disease affects middle ... -
Tracing environmental markers of autoimmunity: introducing the infectome
(2013)We recently introduced the concept of the infectome as a means of studying all infectious factors which contribute to the development of autoimmune disease. It forms the infectious part of the exposome, which collates all ...
