The Allometry of Host-Pathogen Interactions

BACKGROUND Understanding the mechanisms that control rates of disease progression in humans and other species is an important area of research relevant to epidemiology and to translating studies in small laboratory animals to humans. Body size and metabolic rate influence a great number of biological rates and times. We hypothesize that body size and metabolic rate affect rates of pathogenesis,...

containing HPI information and another abstract that does not. Using a training set of pre-annotated abstracts, the system can then learn how to efficiently discriminate between these two abstract types. Moreover, the same characteristic features can be calculated for the individual sentences in the abstract. Thus, we can use the same supervised-learning approach to solve Tasks 1 and 2. Finally...

The Structure of Host-Pathogen Interactions

Upon infection, cellsof higher vertebratesproduce interferons (IFNs),whichactivate variousantiviral programs in the infectedcell andsurroundingcells, thus limiting the spreadof infection.Oneof these antiviral mediators is RNase L, an endoribonuclease that cleaves viral and cellular RNA on demand. RNase L is activated by 2’,5’-linked oligoadenylates (2-5A), products of IFN-inducible 2-5A synthet...

Host-pathogen interactions: the role of iron.

Iron is essential for both host and pathogen, and complex systems of acquisition and utilization have evolved in competition. Our increasing knowledge of the basic mechanisms of homeostasis and their adaptation during deficiency, overload, and infection indicate that iron is a key regulator of host pathogen interactions. This review concentrated on the clinical and public health aspects of the ...
