Kidney Macrophages: Unique Position Solves a Complex Problem
نویسندگان
چکیده
Immune complex-mediated diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, commonly affect the kidney and determine disease prognosis. Stamatiades et al. now propose a kidney-specific mechanism for trans-endothelial transport of small immune complexes that activate strategically positioned tissue resident macrophages.

Kinetic Mechanism Reduction Using Genetic Algorithms, Case Study on H2/O2 Reaction
For large and complex reacting systems, computational efficiency becomes a critical issue in process simulation, optimization and model-based control. Mechanism simplification is often a necessity to improve computational speed. We present a novel approach to simplification of reaction networks that formulates the model reduction problem as an optimization problem and solves it using geneti...
متن کاملGM-CSF Promotes Macrophage Alternative Activation after Renal Ischemia/Reperfusion Injury.
After kidney ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, monocytes home to the kidney and differentiate into activated macrophages. Whereas proinflammatory macrophages contribute to the initial kidney damage, an alternatively activated phenotype can promote normal renal repair. The microenvironment of the kidney during the repair phase mediates the transition of macrophage activation from a proinflammat...
متن کاملCoincidental Hydatid Cyst of Skin and Kidney: A Very Rare Case Report
Human echinococcosis remains a complex problem that affects several organs. Hydatid disease mainly (85%) affects liver as well as lung, and 10% the rest of the body. Renal involvement is about 2% while skin hydatidosis is nearly 1%. Coincidental involvement of kidney and skin is very rare. We report a 51 year-old female patient with renal and skin (chest wall) hydatid lesions that were excis...
متن کاملThe Solutions to Elmsley’s Problem
We give a formula for the optimal sequence of perfect shuffles to bring a card at position p to the top (or indeed, to any position). This solves a fifty-year-old problem of Elmsley. The argument illustrates elementary group theory and shows how a simple card trick can lead to the edge of what is known.
متن کاملThe Honeycomb Problem on the Sphere
The honeycomb problem on the sphere asks for the partition of the sphere into N equal areas that minimizes the perimeter. This article solves the problem when N = 12. The unique minimizer is a tiling of 12 regular pentagons in the dodecahedral arrangement.
