A viewpoint of host-parasite relationships in paracoccidioidomycosis is presented. The characteristics of the fungus which are important to the host-parasite interaction are discussed. Aspects of inhibition of mycelium-to-yeast ...

We describe the interactions between monocyte-derived DCs, in different stages of maturation, with allogeneic T lymphocytes in a 3D system. Maturation of DCs increased their interaction time with T lymphocytes from 43 to ...

We performed a computational analysis employing a cellular automata model to investigate the larval dispersal behavior of blowflies. The spatially discrete model developed here, incorporates simple behavioral rules in local ...

We document here for the first time ultrastructural details of the cellular interaction of Asteridiella callista and its host Stachytarpheta mutabilis var. violacea from Costa Rica. A. callista attaches to the host with ...

Cell movement and intercellular signaling occur simultaneously during the development of tissues, but little is known about how movement affects signaling. Previous theoretical studies have shown that faster moving cells ...

Collaborative efforts from the fields of biology, materials science, and engineering are leading to exciting progress in the development of nanomedicines. Since the targets of many therapeutic agents are localized in ...

The spread of an infectious disease in a population involves interactions leading to an epidemic outbreak through a network of contacts. Extending on Watts and Strogatz (1998) who showed that short-distance connections ...
