The immunocompromised hosts are at higher risk of viral infection, thereby creating the situation worse for those people (Ye et al., 2013). The drug usage should be studied properly to analyze the results. Administration of drugs is taken into consideration for predicting the dynamics during ...
Multiple pathways are involved in T-cell senescence. Cellular senescence can be initiated by genomic or epigenomic damage that is induced by persistent antigens and competition for scarce nutrients in the tumor microenvironment. These stimuli lead to the activation of p38, ultimately triggering a DNA ...
