Cytokines as cellular communicators

Cytokines and their receptors are involved in the pathophysiology of many diseases. Here we present a detailed review on cytokines, receptors and signalling routes, and show that one important lesson from cytokine biology is the complex and diverse regulation of cytokine activity. The activity of cytokines is controlled at the level of transcription, translation, storage, processing, posttransl...

One of our central interests lies in understanding what kinds of activities and interaction particular material objects engender and support and how these change as different arte...

An Approach for Deploying Externally Defined MPI Communicators at Runtime

When writing parallel applications according to the MPI standard especially for hierarchical computing environments, the recognition of the underlying heterogeneous hardware structure at application level is not trivial at all. Although the MPI standard tries to support the application programmer with some process grouping and mapping facilities (notably the communicator concept and the topolog...
