Lights, camera, and action : vertebrate skin sets the stage for immune cell interaction with arthropod-vectored pathogens by Chong, Shu Zhen., Evrard, Maximilien., Ng, Lai Guan.

“…Such diseases are vectored by hematophagous arthropods that deposit pathogens into the vertebrate host’s skin during a blood meal. These pathogens spend a substantial amount of time in the skin that allows for interaction with cutaneous immune cells, suggesting a window of opportunity for development of vaccine strategies. …”

Zero-knowledge arguments for lattice-based accumulators: logarithmic-size ring signatures and group signatures without trapdoors by Libert, Benoît, Ling, San, Nguyen, Khoa, Wang, Huaxiong

“…As an application, we describe new lattice-based group and ring signatures in the random oracle model. In particular, we obtain: (i) the first lattice-based ring signatures with logarithmic size in the cardinality of the ring and (ii) the first lattice-based group signature that does not require any GPV trapdoor and thus allows for a much more efficient choice of parameters.…”
