Innate versus adaptive immunity: a paradigm past its prime?
Studies in tumor immunology have relied upon the classic paradigm of distinct innate and adaptive parts of the immune system. However, recent advances in immunology suggest that this division may be overly simplistic, with emerging evidence of a breakdown in conventional hallmarks of each system. Here, we provide an overview of this area and discuss how the concept of a continuum of immune cell...

If meperidine acts like a local anesthetic, binding to the same receptor sites and inhibiting nerve conduction, then drugs that...

متن کاملA GENERALIZATION OF PRIME HYPERIDEALS
Let $R$ be a multiplicative hyperring. In this paper, we introduce and study the concept of n-absorbing hyperideal which is a generalization of prime hyperideal. A proper hyperideal $I$ of $R$ is called an $n$-absorbing hyperideal of $R$ if whenever $alpha_1o...oalpha_{n+1} subseteq I$ for $alpha_1,...,alpha_{n+1} in R$, then there are $n$ of the $alpha_i^,$s whose product ...
