A suitable data model for HIV infection and epidemic detection
Background: In recent years, there has been an increase in the amount and variety of data generated in the field of healthcare, (e.g., data related to the prevalence of contagious diseases in the society). Various patterns of individuals’ relationships in the society make the analysis of the network a complex, highly important process in detecting and preventing the incidence of diseases....
متن کاملIntroduction: C. elegans as a model organism
organism The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans is a genetically tractable multicellular organism that has been the subject of intense study for more than four decades. It has been successfully used as a model system to address fundamental questions in multiple fields of biology, including development, neurobiology and aging. In recent years, this tiny nematode worm has been applied to the study o...
متن کاملC. elegans as a model for membrane traffic.
The counterbalancing action of the endocytosis and secretory pathways maintains a dynamic equilibrium that regulates the composition of the plasma membrane, allowing it to maintain homeostasis and to change rapidly in response to alterations in the extracellular environment and/or intracellular metabolism. These pathways are intimately integrated with intercellular signaling systems and play cr...
متن کاملC. elegans as a model for Friedreich Ataxia.
In a recent FASEB paper, Palau and co-workers claimed that lowering frataxin reduces C. elegans lifespan (1). Given the importance of frataxin for survival in other organisms, these results may not seem surprising. However, they are clearly in contrast with our previously published findings showing that frataxin RNAi knock down, (both feeding and injection), increases C. elegans lifespan (2). O...
متن کاملThe C. elegans pharynx: a model for organogenesis.
The C. elegans foregut (pharynx) has emerged as a powerful system to study organ formation during embryogenesis. Here I review recent advances regarding cell-fate specification and epithelial morphogenesis during pharynx development. Maternally-supplied gene products function prior to gastrulation to establish pluripotent blastomeres. As gastrulation gets under way, pharyngeal precursors become...
