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. …”

A high-sensitivity 135GHz millimeter-wave imager by compact split-ring-resonator in 65-nm CMOS by Li, Nan, Yu, Hao, Yang, Chang, Shang, Yang, Li, Xiuping, Liu, Xiong

“…A high-sensitivity 135 GHz millimeter-wave imager is demonstrated in 65 nm CMOS by on-chip metamaterial resonator: a differential transmission-line (T-line) loaded with split-ring-resonator (DTL-SRR). Due to sharp stop-band introduced by the metamaterial load, high-Q oscillatory amplification can be achieved with high sensitivity when utilizing DTL-SRR as quench-controlled oscillator to provide regenerative detection. …”

Binuclear oxidative addition of Sb-Cl bonds : a facile synthetic route to main group transition element clusters and rings by Li, Ying-Zhou, Ganguly, Rakesh, Leong, Weng Kee

“…Binuclear oxidative addition of Sb–Cl bonds with the clusters Os3(CO)11(NCCH3), 1, or Os3(CO)10(NCCH3)2, 2, was found to be an effective synthetic route to organometallic clusters and rings containing μ2-SbPh2 or μ3-SbPh moieties. Thus, the reaction of SbPh2Cl with 1 afforded the tetranuclear ring Os3(CO)11(Cl)(μ-SbPh2), 3, while its reaction with 2 afforded the pentanuclear ring Os3(CO)10(Cl)2(μ-SbPh2)2, 6. …”
