Flattened particles mimic immune cells

Plant immune receptors mimic pathogen virulence targets

All multicellular eukaryotes are susceptible to pathogens. Animal hosts have developed cell-autonomous innate immunity, and chordates have additionally evolved an adaptive immune system to defend against pathogen invasion. In contrast, plant immunity is entirely innate, and relies on the ability of individual cells to activate defense upon pathogen detection by either cell surface or cytoplasmi...

Effector-Independent Mechanisms Apoptosis of Tumor Cells via Immune TCR Mimic Monoclonal Antibodies Induce Weidanz

Following the Flattened Leader

We analyze the regret, measured in terms of log loss, of the maximum likelihood (ML) sequential prediction strategy. This “follow the leader” strategy also defines one of the main versions of Minimum Description Length model selection. We proved in prior work for single parameter exponential family models that (a) in the misspecified case, the redundancy of follow-the-leader is not 1 2 log n+O(...

Avian lymphoid leukosis: Virus-like particles in kidney Cells

Poliovirus Particles do not Form in Preinfected Cells with Reovirus

Background and Aims: Inhibition of viral growth in coinfected cells with two different viruses has been described. This phenomenon known as viral interference can occur in several virus host systems such as interference of enterovirus infection on poliovirus vaccine strains. In this study we superinfected reovirus infected HeLa cells with poliovirus to determine if poliovirus can replicate in s...
