Investigating viral glycosylation pathways for drug and vaccine development by Brun, J

“…Chapter 4 focuses on the site-specific glycosylation occupancy, and N- and O-glycan structures attached to virion derived SARS-CoV-2 spike glycoproteins. This glycan signature was compared to a stabilised prefusion trimeric spike, to a monomeric subunit of spike (S1) and to an antigen of a non-stabilised vaccine candidate, revealing subunit shedding of the S1 glycoprotein for the vaccine candidate. …”

Superconductivity from repulsive interactions in Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene by Wagner, G, Kwan, Y, Bultinck, N, Simon, S, Ashok Parameswaran, S

“…Intriguingly, superconductivity manifests only at nonzero magnetic fields, or when spin-orbit coupling is induced in BBG by coupling to a substrate. …”

Microcrystalline Tyrosine (MCT®): a depot adjuvant in licensed allergy immunotherapy offers new opportunities in malaria by Cabral-Miranda, G, Heath, MD, Gomes, AC, Mohsen, MO, Montoya-Diaz, E, Salman, AM, Atcheson, E, Skinner, MA, Kramer, MF, Reyes-Sandoval, A, Bachmann, MF

“…Both MCT and Alum strongly increased immunogenicity of CSP compared to PBS in both C57BL/6 and BALB/c mice. Challenge studies in mice using a chimeric <em>P. bergei</em> expressing CSP of <em>P. vivax</em> demonstrated clinically improved symptoms of malaria with CSP formulated in both MCT and Alum; protection was, however, more pronounced if CSP was formulated in MCT. …”

Optically detected magnetic resonance spectroscopic analyses on the role of magnetic ions in colloidal nanocrystals by Dehnel, Joanna, Harchol, Adi, Barak, Yahel, Meir, Itay, Horani, Faris, Shapiro, Arthur, Strassberg, Rotem, de Mello Donegá, Celso, Demir, Hilmi Volkan, Gamelin, Daniel R., Sharma, Kusha, Lifshitz, Efrat
