Dok3 restrains neutrophil production of calprotectin during TLR4 sensing of SARS-CoV-2 spike protein by Loh, Jia Tong, Teo, Joey Kay Hui, Lam, Kong-Peng

“…In this study, we showed that Dok3 adaptor restrains calprotectin production by neutrophils in response to SARS-CoV-2 spike (S) protein engagement of TLR4. Dok3 recruits SHP-2 to mediate the de-phosphorylation of MyD88 at Y257, thereby attenuating downstream JAK2-STAT3 signaling and calprotectin production. …”

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.…”
