Radioimmunotherapy Is More Effective than Antifungal Treatment
... by Dadachova and Casadevall [10]). We observed that melanization of C. neoformans before infection did not increase the resistance of C. neoformans to RIT in vivo. Possible explanations for this may include the delicate balance existing in vivo between daughter cells that are not melanized right aft ...

Vitamin D Metabolism in Dairy Cattle and Implications for Dietary
... Vitamin D was originally discovered nearly a century ago as a factor in butterfat that prevented rickets (McCollum et al., 1922). In the years to follow it was also found to be synthesized in the skin exposed to sunlight and to be critically involved in calcium homeostasis. The role of vitamin D in ...

MONOCYTE AND MACROPHAGE HETEROGENEITY

Circulating monocytes give rise to mature macrophages and are also heterogeneous themselves, although the physiological r ...

Psychoneuroimmunology
Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI), also referred to as psychoendoneuroimmunology (PENI), is the study of the interaction between psychological processes and the nervous and immune systems of the human body. PNI takes an interdisciplinary approach, incorporating psychology, neuroscience, immunology, physiology, genetics, pharmacology, molecular biology, psychiatry, behavioral medicine, infectious diseases, endocrinology, and rheumatology.The main interests of PNI are the interactions between the nervous and immune systems and the relationships between mental processes and health. PNI studies, among other things, the physiological functioning of the neuroimmune system in health and disease; disorders of the neuroimmune system (autoimmune diseases; hypersensitivities; immune deficiency); and the physical, chemical and physiological characteristics of the components of the neuroimmune system in vitro, in situ, and in vivo.
