Multiscale Modeling of Influenza A Virus Infection Supports the Development of Direct-Acting Antivirals
Influenza A viruses are respiratory pathogens that cause seasonal epidemics with up to 500,000 deaths each year. Yet there are currently only two classes of antivirals licensed for treatment and drug-resistant strains are on the rise. A major challenge for the discovery of new anti-influenza agents is the identification of drug targets that efficiently interfere with viral replication. To suppo...
متن کاملMML: towards a Multiscale Modeling Language
Recent multiscale applications require more and more often the coupling of many sub-models, usually originating form different fields of science. Therefore, it is increasingly important to propose an effective description language that can help scientists with different background to co-develop a multiscale application. We propose a Multiscale Modeling Language (MML) i.e. a description language...
متن کاملTowards a Multiscale Model of Acute HIV Infection
Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection of humans represents a complex biological system and a great challenge to public health. Novel approaches for the analysis and prediction of the infection dynamics based on a multi-scale integration of virus ontogeny and immune reactions are needed to deal with the systems’ complexity. The aim of our study is: (1) to formulate a multi-scale mathemati...
متن کاملModeling Influenza Virus Infection: A Roadmap for Influenza Research.
Influenza A virus (IAV) infection represents a global threat causing seasonal outbreaks and pandemics. Additionally, secondary bacterial infections, caused mainly by Streptococcus pneumoniae, are one of the main complications and responsible for the enhanced morbidity and mortality associated with IAV infections. In spite of the significant advances in our knowledge of IAV infections, holistic ...
متن کاملModeling human influenza infection in the laboratory
Influenza is the leading cause of death from an infectious cause. Because of its clinical importance, many investigators use animal models to understand the biologic mechanisms of influenza A virus replication, the immune response to the virus, and the efficacy of novel therapies. This review will focus on the biosafety, biosecurity, and ethical concerns that must be considered in pursuing infl...
