Clinical relevance of brain volume measures in multiple sclerosis

…, C Oreja-Guevara, F Sellebjerg, B Stankoff, A Walczak… - CNS drugs, 2014 - Springer
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease with an inflammatory and neurodegenerative
pathology. Axonal loss and neurodegeneration occurs early in the disease course and may …

Predicting evolution

M Lässig, V Mustonen, AM Walczak - Nature ecology & evolution, 2017 - nature.com
The face of evolutionary biology is changing: from reconstructing and analysing the past to
predicting future evolutionary processes. Recent developments include prediction of …

[HTML][HTML] The past, present, and future of immune repertoire biology–the rise of next-generation repertoire analysis

…, T Mora, V Thomas-Vaslin, AM Walczak… - Frontiers in …, 2013 - frontiersin.org
T and B cell repertoires are collections of lymphocytes, each characterized by its antigen-specific
receptor. We review here classical technologies and analysis strategies developed to …

Statistical mechanics for natural flocks of birds

…, E Silvestri, M Viale, AM Walczak - Proceedings of the …, 2012 - National Acad Sciences
Flocking is a typical example of emergent collective behavior, where interactions between
individuals produce collective patterns on the large scale. Here we show how a quantitative …

At the heart of the ventral attention system: the right anterior insula

MA Eckert, V Menon, A Walczak, J Ahlstrom… - Human brain …, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
The anterior insula has been hypothesized to provide a link between attention‐related problem
solving and salience systems during the coordination and evaluation of task performance…

[HTML][HTML] Neoantigen quality predicts immunoediting in survivors of pancreatic cancer

…, E Patterson, R Monasson, T Mora, AM Walczak… - Nature, 2022 - nature.com
Cancer immunoediting 1 is a hallmark of cancer 2 that predicts that lymphocytes kill more
immunogenic cancer cells to cause less immunogenic clones to dominate a population. …

Important role of matrix metalloproteinase 9 in epileptogenesis

…, B Mioduszewska, E Nikolaev, A Walczak… - The Journal of cell …, 2008 - rupress.org
Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is a devastating disease in which aberrant synaptic plasticity
plays a major role. We identify matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 9 as a novel synaptic enzyme …

Maximum entropy models for antibody diversity

T Mora, AM Walczak, W Bialek… - Proceedings of the …, 2010 - National Acad Sciences
Recognition of pathogens relies on families of proteins showing great diversity. Here we
construct maximum entropy models of the sequence repertoire, building on recent experiments …

Self-regulating gene: an exact solution

…, D Schultz, GCP Innocentini, J Wang, AM Walczak… - Physical Review E, 2005 - APS
An exact steady-state solution of the stochastic equations governing the behavior of a gene
regulated by a self-generated proteomic atmosphere is presented. The solutions depend on …

Statistical inference of the generation probability of T-cell receptors from sequence repertoires

A Murugan, T Mora, AM Walczak… - Proceedings of the …, 2012 - National Acad Sciences
Stochastic rearrangement of germline V-, D-, and J-genes to create variable coding sequence
for certain cell surface receptors is at the origin of immune system diversity. This process, …
