Dendritic cells acquire antigen from apoptotic cells and induce class 1-restricted CTLs
Article Abstract:
Cytotoxic T lymphocytes help the body to resist infection and tumours by recognizing antigens in the cytoplasm of target cells which are presented as peptide complexes with class 1 molecules of major histocompatability complex (MHC) molecules. However, it is possible that antigens can gain access to the cytoplasm via MHC class 1 molecules. This can occur in bone marrow. It is possible that potent antigen-presenting cells get antigens from tumours, infected cells and transplants.

Taming spatiotemporal chaos with disorder
Article Abstract:
Generation of disorder in physical systems appears to suitably control spatiotemporal chaos in coupled arrays of forced, damped, nonlinear oscillators. One- and two-dimensional arrays of identical oscillators act chaotically but the induction of uncorrelated differences between oscillators initiate ordered motion with typical regular spatiotemporal patterns. Two mechanisms are probably involved in stabilizing a chaotic system: a small but non-zero disorder and a large disorder.
