Quantitative proteomics reveals CLR interactome in primary human cells by Manolis, D, Hasan, S, Maraveyas, A, O'Brien, DP, Kessler, BM, Kramer, H, Nikitenko, LL

“…We used primary human dermal lymphatic endothelial cells and combined immunoprecipitation (IP) utilising anti-human CLR antibody with label-free quantitative nano-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (nano LC-MS/MS) and quantitative in situ proximity ligation assay (PLA). By using this workflow, we identified 37 proteins interacting with endogenously expressed CLR amongst 4,902 detected members of the cellular proteome (by quantitative nano LC-MS/MS) and revealed direct interactions of two kinases and two transporters with this GPCR (by in situ PLA). …”

Agriculture and citadel in the Bronze Age Aegean: the view from western Anatolia by Maltas, T

“…A shift in agricultural strategies is apparent between the EB I-II and late EBA-early Middle Bronze Age, with a focus on drought-tolerant cereals cultivated on drier soils with water management practices redirected towards pulses. …”

Congenital myasthenic syndromes: characterisation of a new animal model, exploring potential novel therapies and assessing the outcome of COVID-19 infection by Alabaf, S

“…</p> <p><strong><em>Conclusions:</em></strong> These studies demonstrate that the novel c.1187G>A, p.R396H mutation in the delta subunit is pathogenic by impairing AChR clustering, possibly through interaction with RAPSN, and DOK7 upregulation using AAV9 gene therapy can benefit the mouse model with the corresponding 𝛿R399H mutation in the delta subunit. …”

Multi-class classification of EEG in a brain-computer interface by Chong, Cherrie Ning Hui

“…For binary classification of up v.s. left, the delta and theta bands comprised a larger proportion of best features selected, and similarly with the alpha band for classification of up v.s. right.…”
