Cytoplasmic long noncoding RNAs are frequently bound to and degraded at ribosomes in human cells by Carlevaro-Fita, Joana, Rahim, Anisa, Guigó, Roderic, Johnson, Rory, Vardy, Leah Karen Anne

“…Here we make a global, absolute estimate of the cytoplasmic and ribosome-associated population of stringently filtered lncRNAs in a human cell line using polysome profiling coupled to spike-in normalized microarray analysis. Fifty-four percent of expressed lncRNAs are detected in the cytoplasm. …”

Development and validation of multiplex real-time PCR for simultaneous detection of six bacterial pathogens causing lower respiratory tract infections and antimicrobial resistance... by Dung, TTN, Phat, VV, Vinh, C, Lan, NPH, Phuong, NLN, Ngan, LTQ, Thwaites, G, Thwaites, L, Rabaa, M, Nguyen, ATK, Duy, PT

“…The reproducibility, linearity, limit of detection (LOD) of real-time PCR assays for pathogen detection were evaluated using DNA control mixes and spiked tracheal aspirate. The performance of RT-PCR assays was subsequently compared with the gold standard, conventional culture on 50 tracheal aspirate and sputum specimens of ICU patients.…”

Liquid state machine with dendritically enhanced readout for low-power, neuromorphic VLSI implementations by Roy, Subhrajit, Banerjee, Amitava, Basu, Arindam

“…We show that compared to a single perceptron using analog weights, this architecture for the readout can attain, even by using the same number of binary valued synapses, up to 3.3 times less error for a two-class spike train classification problem and 2.4 times less error for an input rate approximation task. …”

Characterising the T cell responses to SARS-CoV-2 including variants of concern induced by natural infection and vaccines by Adele, S

“…Chapter 4 expands on T cell responses to VOCs, showing that vaccinated individuals maintain significant T cell reactivity across VOCs despite spike protein mutations that diminish antibody neutralization efficacy. …”

A hand-targeted auxiliary personal protective equipment for intervention of fomite transmission of viruses by Tan, Justin Kok Soon, Song, Shang Wei, Zeng, Jialiu, Lo, Chih Hung

“…Compared to conventional glove materials, FlexiPalm demonstrated enhanced mechanical durability and breathability, comparable hydrophobicity, and displayed a minimal adsorption of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein and virus-like particles (VLP). Importantly, FlexiPalm was found to bind significantly less viral protein and VLP than artificial human skin, confirming its ability to reduce viral contamination. …”
