Fitness and freezing: vector biology and human health.
Microbes transmitted to mammals by arthropods contend with many factors that could impede survival. To survive, host fitness with infection must outweigh costs. In this issue of the JCI, Neelakanta et al. demonstrate that ticks infected with Anaplasma phagocytophilum show enhanced fitness against freezing injury owing to induced expression of tick "antifreeze glycoprotein." This allows A. phago...
متن کاملRole of Epigenetics in Biology and Human Diseases
For a long time, scientists have tried to describe disorders just by genetic or environmental factors. However, the role of epigenetics in human diseases has been considered from a half of century ago. In the last decade, this subject has attracted many interests, especially in complicated disorders such as behavior plasticity, memory, cancer, autoimmune disease, and addiction as well as neurod...
متن کاملEstablishment, Culture and Freezing of Human and Mouse Embryonic Stem Cells: a Protocol Guide
Studies of the biology of human embryonic stem cells (hES cells) have developed rapidly over the past nine years since the first reports of their derivation. They clearly offer enormous potential, not only for regenerative medicine, but also for drug discovery and toxicology, human developmental biology and cancer research. Realizing these potentials a better understanding of the fundamental as...
متن کاملSystems biology in human health and disease
Understanding the factors that influence human health and cause diseases has always been one of the major driving forces of biological research. With the spectacular progresses in quantitative techniques, large-scale measurement methods and with the intimate integration between experimental and computational approaches, Biology has recently acquired new technological and conceptual tools to inv...

ed some of its sensor data by providing users with a proprietary “Fuel number” which represents a measure of overall activity in relation to biology-based “oxygen kinetics.” This number is meant to motivate users toward a general daily goal. However, many mainstream users report that the meaning of this number is opaque and confusing. These consumer perceptions underscore the need (and opportun...
