Types of Hypersensitivity Hypersensitivity reactions are grouped into four categories. The majority are immediate-type reactions which occur within 24 hours of exposure to the allergen: Type I: Characterized by the release of antibodies followed by chemical mediators against an antigen due to immunoglobul...
In inflammatory process, during the innate immune response, various cells of the immune system (neutrophils, macrophages, lymphocytes) release mediators (cytokines, ROS etc.) that enhance the inflammatory process and activate the adaptive immunity. T Helper cells in turn activate various other type of...
Recently, one can distinguish excitatory and inhibitory mediators, which are endo– or exogenous compounds that control the function of the entire organism. From a chemical point of view, neurotransmitters belong to many different structural groups including amino acids (such as glycine), peptides (...
In other words, the CG approaches are able to single out the relevant driving forces among the multitude of chemical details of macromolecules. This is why CG models will remain precious conceptual tools for the study of macromolecular systems even when the advances in computer science will make ...
