Dendritic cells (DCs) as professional antigen-presenting cells play an important role in the initiation and modulation of the adaptive immune response. However, their role in the innate immune response against bacterial infections is not completely defined. Here we have analyzed the role of DCs and their impact on the innate anti-bacterial host defense in an experimental infection model of Yers...

I give a brief overview of the resolution of the apparent problem of reconciling time symmetric microscopic dynamic with time asymmetric equations describing the evolution of macroscopic variables. I then show how the large deviation function of the stationary state of the microscopic system can be used as a Lyapunov function for the macroscopic evolution equations. —————————————————————————— G...
