Role of E-cadherin in epithelial barrier dysfunction: implications for bacterial infection, inflammation, and disease pathogenesis by Peter Lialios, Peter Lialios, Stella Alimperti, Stella Alimperti

“…Clinical implications of E-cadherin perturbations in host pathophysiology are emphasized; downregulation, proteolytic phenomena, abnormal localization/signaling and aberrant immune reactions are linked with a broad spectrum of pathology beyond infectious diseases. Finally, potential therapeutic interventions that may harness E-cadherin to mitigate barrier-associated tissue damage are explored. …”

Integrating agent-based disease, mobility and wastewater models for the study of the spread of communicable diseases by Néstor DelaPaz-Ruíz, Ellen-Wien Augustijn, Mahdi Farnaghi, Sheheen A. Abdulkareem, Raul Zurita Milla

“…To that end, we developed an integrated Agent-Based Model (ABM) that facilitates analysis in space and time at various temporal resolutions, including disease spread, population mobility and wastewater production, while also being sufficiently generic for different types of infectious diseases or pathogens. The integrated model replicates the epidemic curve for COVID-19 and can estimate the daily infections at the household level, enabling the monitoring of the spatial patterns of infection intensity. …”
