Mutual self-defence: the trypanolytic factor story.

Around 1900 Laveran and Mesnil discovered that African trypanosomes (prototype: Trypanosoma brucei brucei) do not survive in the blood of some primates and humans. The nature of the trypanolytic factor present in these sera has been the focus of a long-standing debate between different groups, but recent developments have allowed the proposal of a coherent model incorporating most seemingly div...

Autophagy as a defence against intracellular pathogens.

Autophagy is a membrane trafficking pathway that results in the formation of autophagosomes which deliver portions of the cytosol to lysosomes for degradation. When autophagosomes engulf intracellular pathogens, the pathway is called 'xenophagy' because it leads to the removal of foreign material. Autophagy is activated during infection by Toll-like receptors that recognize pathogen-associated ...

Defence against denial of service in self-aware networks

Motivated by an impressive variety of reasons and directed against an equally impressive variety of targets, DoS attacks are not as difficult to launch as one would expect. Protection against them is, however, disproportionately difficult. Despite the extensive research in recent years, DoS attacks continue to harm. In o...
