EditorialOpen accessIn the abstractFocalize the Structure of Myd88 in TLR Signaling Pathway to Modulate Innate Immune Response: New Target for Old DiseasesShuai Xing, Ping ZhouAll diseases have their Achilles’ Heel to target and this is especially true for immunorelated diseases which must be treated by targeting the immune system somewhere and somehow correctly. In the most recent decade, immunologists recognized that the Toll-Like Receptor (TLR) signaling pathway in innate immune system plays a double-edged role in the pathogenesis of many notorious diseases. Although the … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 13, Issue 3 · 6 Sep 2017 · 7,862 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Duality of AIM2 Inflammasome: A Focus on its Role in Autoimmunity and Skin DiseasesMiriam CanaveseUnderstanding the inflammasome biology is one of the most exciting challenges in immuno-pharmacology. The role of the inflammasomes has been recognized in the host defense mechanism against invading pathogens and in the development of several conditions, such as cancer, auto-inflammatory, autoimmune, metabolic and neurodegenerative disorders. DNA recognition by the cells is a crucial immunological step leading to the initiation of … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 23 Apr 2016 · 7,369 accessesView PDFCite

Krishna VeniProblem statement: Malignant melanoma is the most frequent type of skin cancer. Its incidence has been rapidly increasing over the last few decades. Medical image segmentation is the most essential and crucial process in order to facilitate the characterization and visualization of the structure of interest in medical images. Approach: This study explains the task of segmenting skin lesions in … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 11 · 7 Oct 2011 · 7,342 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSkin Images SegmentationAli El-ZaartProblem statement: Image segmentation is a fundamental step in many applications of image processing. Skin cancer has been the most common of all new cancers detected each year. At early stage detection of skin cancer, simple and economic treatment can cure it mostly.

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Air Pollution on Ozone Layer Thickness in Troposphere over the State of KuwaitH. O. Al Jeran, A. R. KhanTroposphere ozone layer acts as a shield against all ultraviolet radiation approaching the planet Earth through absorption. It was noticed in mid 80s that ozone layer has thinned on the poles of the planet due to release of man-made substances commonly known as Ozone Depleting Substances, (ODS) into its atmosphere. The consequences of this change are adverse as the harmful … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 3 · 30 Jun 2009 · 19,488 accessesView PDFCite
Literature ReviewOpen accessIn the abstractOzone Therapy: Overview of its Potential Utility in Male ReproductionZaher Merhi, Ali Bazzi, Rajean Moseley-LaRue et al.Ozone (O3), a highly water-soluble inorganic molecule, is a gas made of three atoms of oxygen (O) with a cyclic structure. Ozone can be produced by medical generators from pure oxygen after passing through a high voltage gradient. Ozone therapy (OT) can be given in medical practice via several routes that include transdermal, intramuscular, rectal, nasal, oral, vaginal, intravenous, intra-arterial, … …American Journal of Immunology, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 4 Jan 2019 · 9,586 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessAll words, across the recordCancer may be caused by the Immune ReactionRichmond T. PrehnHormesis-like effects of immunity have been documented during tumor-growth experiments in mice, quantitatively large immune-reactions have inhibited while lesser quantities of the same specific immune-reactants have been stimulatory to the growth of implanted tumors. Likewise, carcinogenesis has been inhibited by a high quantities of immune reactants, but positively stimulated by lower levels of the same reactants. One observation suggests that … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,460 accessesView PDFCite
