Friends in High Places.
We demonstrate that personal connections amongst U.S. politicians have a significant impact on Senate voting behavior. Networks based on alumni connections between politicians are consistent predictors of voting behavior. We estimate sharp measures that control for common characteristics of the network, as well as heterogeneous impacts of a common network characteristic across votes. We find th...
متن کاملAre Human Intestinal Eukaryotes Beneficial or Commensals?
Since the advent of microbiology, it has been well known that each human body hosts a multitude of microbes. The magnitude of our microbial system is best reflected by the widely discussed ratio of one human cell to ten microbes. Indeed, humans and other mammals live in a consortium composed of vast arrays of viruses (these are typically called the virome), archaea and bacteria (i.e., the micro...
متن کاملProtein synthesis: Imprinting through molecular mimicry
The translation of genetic messages into proteins on ribosomes is catalyzed by a number of proteins that bind transiently to the ribosome [1,2]. These are the initiation, elongation and release (termination) factors. Several of these factors are GTP-hydrolyzing (G) proteins, which undergo a conformation transition between an active state with bound GTP and an inactive state with bound GDP. In b...
متن کاملMolecular mimicry
EditoriAL EditoriAL Over the course of evolution, microorganisms have developed innovative survival strategies to thrive in their hosts. 1 The human body is home to many species of bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other invertebrate parasites. Some of these organisms that live and thrive in humans are com-mensals and are harmless. They may be also beneficial to the host as they provide certain nut...
متن کاملMolecular mimicry in multiple sclerosis.
Most experts believe that multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease in which T cells recognize and attack components of the axonal myelin sheath and other features of the central nervous system, destroying myelin and the underlying axon. Although self-reactive T cells are present in the immune system of people with multiple sclerosis, they are also found in a quiescent state in perfectly heal...
