Binding of TCR multimers and a TCR-like antibody with distinct fine-specificities is dependent on the surface density of HLA complexes by Low, Jianrong L., Gehring, Adam J., Kranz, David M., Grotenbreg, Gijsbert M., Yau, Yin Hoe, Shochat, Susana Geifman, Bertoletti, Antonio, Naidoo, Anneta, Yeo, Gladys, Ho, Zi Zong

“…Various protein scaffolds have been designed to recapitulate the specific recognition of presented antigens with the aim to be exploited both diagnostically (e.g. to visualize cells exposed to infectious agents or cellular transformation) and therapeutically (e.g. for the delivery of drugs to compromised cells). In line with this, we report the construction of a soluble tetrameric form of an αβ T cell receptor (TCR) specific for the HBV epitope Env183–191 restricted by HLA-A*02:01, and compare its avidity and fine-specificity with a TCR-like monoclonal antibody generated against the same HLA target. …”

High-spin impurities and surface acoustic waves in piezoelectric crystals for spin-lattice coupling by Magnusson, E

“…We found that the nominally pure ZnO was conductive at room temperature due to <em>n</em>-type intrinsic doping, and electrical losses inhibited any transmission through a SAW delay line above <em>T</em> = 200K. The one-port resonator measured down to milli-Kelvin temperatures showed excellent quality factors of up to <em>Q</em> &amp;sime; 1.5 × 10⁵ in its superconducting state.…”

Investigating the genetics and immunopathogenesis of ankylosing spondylitis by Liu, F

“…This subset of monocytes exhibited a gene expression profile highly similar to a major population of CD14+ myeloid cells identified in AS synovial fluid (SF), strongly suggesting that T cell-induced myeloid cell activation occurs in vivo in inflamed joints. In line with this, PD1+IFN-γ+ T-cells were enriched in AS SF compared to blood. …”

Effects of Sub1 and qDTY on the agro-morpho-physiological traits of rice (Oryza sativa L.) under reproductive stage drought stress by Shakirah Mohammad Nahar, Nur Sakinah Mohd Yusri, Asmuni Mohd Ikmal, Noraziyah Abd Aziz Shamsudin, Siti Nurfaeiza Abd Razak, Pui, Maggie San Sudo, Song, Beng-Kah, Bey, Hing Goh, Long, Chiau Ming

“…Breeding and screening of drought tolerant varieties are crucial to ensure the continuity of food supply. Two breeding lines, UKM-112 and UKM-114 with QTL(s) for submergence tolerance (Submergence 1 [Sub1]) and yield under drought stress (qDTY) and together with their recurrent parental line, UKM-5, and a drought-sensitive cultivar, MR219 were screened for their agro-morpho-physiological responses under reproductive stage drought stress (RS) and non-stress (NS) to determine how the Sub1 interacts with qDTY in enhancing drought tolerance. …”

Fabrication and biocompatibility evaluation of hydroxyapatite–polycaprolactone–gelatin composite nanofibers as a bone scaffold by Aminatun, None, Sujak M. K, Aisyah, Izak R, Djony, Hadi, Sofijan, Sari, Yessie Widia, Gunawarman, None, Cahyati, Nilam, Yusuf, Yusril, Che Abdullah, Che Azurahanim

“…The primary goals of this study are as follows: first, to evaluate hydroxyapatite (HA)/polycaprolactone (PCL)/gelatin nanofiber scaffolds based on functional groups, fibre diameter, porosity, and degradation rate; second, to investigate the interaction between HA/PCL/gelatin scaffolds and osteoblast cells (specifically, the ATCC 7F2 cell line) using in vitro assays, including cell viability and adhesion levels. …”

Broadcast Performance Analysis and Improvements of the LTE-V2V Autonomous Mode at Road Intersection by Md. Noor-A-Rahim, G. G. Md. Nawaz Ali, Guan, Yong Liang, Ayalew, Beshah, Chong, Peter Han Joo, Pesch, Dirk

“…However, performance analysis for a highway use case cannot be easily applied to an intersection use case as it may contain non-line-of-sight (NLOS) communication links. In this paper, we analyze and evaluate the safety message broadcasting performance of LTE-V2V autonomous mode in an urban intersection scenario. …”

A materials science framework for connecting protein stability with surface adsorption and coating applications by Ma, Gamaliel Junren

“…To test this hypothesis, serum albumins as model proteins with modulated conformational stabilities based on their structure and processing, in line with the materials science paradigm, were comparatively evaluated using an experimental approach that characterized the proteins’ solution-phase conformational stabilities by measuring their temperature-dependent aggregation profiles and degree of secondary structural unfolding, and also that which characterized the proteins’ adsorption behavior by measuring their adsorption uptake, adsorption rate and extent of surface-induced denaturation. …”
