Trichuris muris research revisited: a journey through time
The mouse whipworm Trichuris muris has long been used as a tractable model of human Trichuriasis. Here we look back at the history of T. muris research; from the definition of the species and determination of its life cycle, through to the complex immune responses that we study today. We highlight the key research papers that have developed our understanding of immune responses to this parasite...
متن کاملAutoimmune Hemolysis: A Journey through Time
The existence of autoimmune diseases in humans has been known for almost 100 years. Currently, autoimmune pathogenesis has been attributed to more than 40 human diseases; yet it is still not clear what immune abnormalities conclusively prove underlying autoimmune pathogenesis. Hence, although much has been learned, research is still needed for complete elucidation of the mechanisms of the immun...

The condition was initially considered a curse sent by a saint, but was named "Saint Vitus's dance" because afflicted individuals were cured if they touched churches storing Saint Vitus's relics. Paracelsus coined the term chorea Sancti Viti and recognized different forms ...
متن کاملThe Journey of the Four Colour Theorem Through Time
The Four Colour Theorem is one of the simplest mathematical problems to state and understand. It says that any planar map is four-colourable. In other words, given a map, one can colour its regions using at most four colours, such that no two adjacent regions are coloured by the same colour. As simple as this result may seem, it took mathematicians over 100 years to prove, and some may still no...
متن کاملGender Gap Through Time and Space: A Journey Through Wikipedia Biographies and the "WIGI" Index
In this study we investigate how quantification of Wikipedia biographies can shed light on worldwide longitudinal gender inequality trends. We present an academic index allowing comparative study of gender inequality through space and time, the Wikipedia Gender Index (WIGI), based on metadata available through the Wikidata database. Our research confirms that gender inequality is a phenomenon w...
