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. …”

Roughness-Controlled Self-Assembly of Mannitol/LB Agar Microparticles by Polymorphic Transformation for Pulmonary Drug Delivery by Zhang, Fengying, Ngoc, Nguyen Thi Quynh, Tay, Bao Hui, Mendyk, Aleksander, Shao, Yu-Hsuan, Lau, Raymond

“…SEM images coupled with image analysis software reveal that different surface morphology of the microparticles have different drug adhesion mechanisms. Comparison of ACI results and image analysis of SEM images shows that an increase in the particle surface roughness can increase the fine particle fractions (FPFs) using the rod-covered mannitol microparticles as drug carriers. …”

Overcoming endurance issue : UAV-enabled communications with proactive caching by Xu, Xiaoli, Zeng, Yong, Guan, Yong Liang, Zhang, Rui

“…Specifically, we focus on content-centric communication systems, where a UAV is dispatched to serve a group of ground nodes (GNs) with random and asynchronous requests for files drawn from a given set. With the proposed scheme, at the beginning of each operation period, the UAV pro-actively transmits the files to a subset of selected GNs that cooperatively cache all the files. …”
