«Our study shows a whole new route, or bypass mechanism, for triggering the body's adaptive immune response to TB infection, a means by which infected dendritic cells cooperate with uninfected dendritic cells to activate T cells and respond to the infection,» says infectious disease specialist and study senior investigator Joel Ernst, MD, a professor at NYU Langone Medical Center.

This response may be an adaptive strategy to moderate stress to ensure survival, but the accumulation of damaged Symbiodinium, which causes subsequent coral deterioration, may occur when this response can not cope with the magnitude or duration of environmental stress, and this might be a possible mechanism underlying coral bleaching during prolonged moderate thermal stress.

Therefore the group studies with sophisticated imaging technology in vitro and ex vivo: i) the molecular mechanism driving the migration of HIV through the intestinal epithelial barrier; ii) the cellular targets in the mucosa, in specific macrophages and DCs, to identify the possible pathways to invade the tissue and disseminate to other organs; iii) the involvement of DCs and their functional properties in mediating adaptive immune responses at mucosal level; and iv) the role of antibodies with different effector functions in changing the pathways of the virus.

In order to prevent autoimmunity and «collateral damage» to host tissues in the course of responses to pathogens, innate and adaptive immunity are subject to stringent control mechanisms.

The main hypothesis includes a stress preconditioning response mechanism, in which it is believed that periods of nutrient deprivation displays a beneficial mild stress that results in molecular adaptive changes in various tissues, which increases the organism's resistance to bigger stressors such as excitotoxic and oxidative injury, including ischemia (33,71).

A different immune mechanism, the innate immune response, comes into play in reactions of gluten sensitivity, as opposed to the long - term adaptive immune response that arises in celiac disease.

Dr Meares believed his patients returned to their earlier life and experience (atavism), clearing away their past maladaptive responses, thus enabling the normal homeostatic mechanisms of the body to re-establish healthier, adaptive response patterns.

Computerized adaptive tests require the following components: a pool of questions to draw from, calibrated to a common measurement scale; a mechanism to select questions on the basis of the student's responses; a process to score the student's responses; a process to terminate the test; and reports that relate scores to the student's instructional needs.
