Boosting the Immune System
Much of contemporary research in Artificial Immune Systems (AIS) has partitioned into either algorithmic machine learning and optimisation, or modelling biologically plausible dynamical systems, with little overlap between. Although the balance is latterly beginning to be redressed (e.g. [18]), we propose that this dichotomy is somewhat to blame for the lack of significant advancement of the fi...
متن کاملIs boosting the immune system in sepsis appropriate?
A relative immunosuppression is observed in patients after sepsis, trauma, burns, or any severe insults. It is currently proposed that selected patients will benefit from treatment aimed at boosting their immune systems. However, the host immune response needs to be considered in context with pathogen-type, timing,and mainly tissue specificity. Indeed, the immune status of leukocytes is not uni...
متن کاملImmune maintenance in glaucoma: boosting the body’s own neuroprotective potential
Glaucoma, a slow progressive neurodegenerative disorder associated with death of retinal ganglion cells and degeneration of their connected optic nerve fibers, has been classically linked to high intraocular pressure. Regardless of the primary risk factor, degeneration may continue, resulting in further loss of neurons and subsequent glaucomatous damage. During the past decade, scientists and c...
متن کاملImmuno-thermal ablations – boosting the anticancer immune response
The use of immunomodulation to treat malignancies has seen a recent explosion in interest. The therapeutic appeal of these treatments is far reaching, and many new applications continue to evolve. In particular, immune modulating drugs have the potential to enhance the systemic anticancer immune effects induced by locoregional thermal ablation. The immune responses induced by ablation monothera...
متن کاملJump-starting the immune system: prime-boosting comes of age.
A major challenge for immunologists has been the development of vaccines designed to emphasize cellular immune responses. One particularly promising approach is the prime-boost strategy, which has been shown to generate high levels of T-cell memory in animal models. Recently, several papers have highlighted the power of prime-boost strategies in eliciting protective cellular immunity to a varie...
