Virus-specific T lymphocytes home to the skin during natural dengue infection by Rivino, Laura, Kumaran, Emmanuelle A., Thein, Tun-Linn, Too, Chien Tei, Gan, Victor Chih Hao, Hanson, Brendon J., Wilder-Smith, Annelies, Bertoletti, Antonio, Gascoigne, Nicholas R. J., Lye, David Chien, Leo, Yee Sin, Akbar, Arne N., Kemeny, David M., MacAry, Paul A.

“…The juxtaposition of dengue-specific T cells with virus-permissive cell types at sites of possible dengue exposure represents a previously uncharacterized form of immune surveillance for this virus. These findings suggest that vaccination strategies may need to induce dengue-specific T cells with similar homing properties to provide durable protection against dengue viruses.…”

Interface and surface cation stoichiometry modified by oxygen vacancies in epitaxial manganite films by Li, Zhi Peng, Bosman, Michel, Yang, Zhen, Ren, Peng, Wang, Lan, Zhu, Weiguang, Dong, Zhili, Foo, Yong Lim, Cao, Liang, Yu, Xiaojiang, Ke, Chang, Breese, Mark B. H., Rusydi, Andrivo

“…The results narrow the selection range of useful oxygen pressures during deposition and demonstrate that accurate cation stoichiometry can only be achieved after oxygen vacancies are eliminated during growth. This finding suggests that the oxygen pressure serves as a tuning parameter for the interfacial dead layers and, hence, for control over device properties.…”

Inclusions in calcite phantom crystals suggest role of clay minerals in dolomite formation by Farsang, Stefan, Pekker, Péter, Lampronti, Giulio I., Molnár, Zsombor, Milovský, Rastislav, Pósfai, Mihály, Ozdín, Daniel, Raub, Timothy D., Redfern, Simon Anthony Turner

“…While the micrometer-sized phyllosilicate and hematite particles were likely transported from the terra rossa and attached to the surface of growing calcite, the presence of phyllosilicates that are only a few atomic layers thick and of euhedral hematite, goethite, and dolomite crystals suggests that these particles precipitated along with the phantom calcite in situ, from an aqueous solution carrying terra rossa-derived and limestone-derived solutes. …”
