Deciphering the mechanisms of cross-presentation for exogenous ROPs through their interaction with cathepsin S by Stephens, AJ

“…<p>Recombinant overlapping peptides (ROPs) are composed of short overlapping peptide sequences formed into one chain encompassing the sequence of a cancer antigen. Each overlapping segment is separated by a cathepsin S cleavage site for processing within dendritic cells to promote antigen cross-presentation and an anti-tumour response. …”

A human atlas of DNA methylation and hydroxymethylation by Inoue, M

“…</p> <br> <p>To unveil tissue-specific signatures of 5mC and 5hmC, we first segment the genome into blocks of correlated modification levels for each modification. …”

Exploring the Conceptual Definition of Islamic Financial Literacy from the Quran and Sunnah by Ab Rashid, Rosemaliza, Zainol, Zairani, Isa, Mohamad Yazid, Mohd Taib, Hasniza, Khairol Nizam, Aini Nur Hajjar

Dumbbell-shaped block copolymers for the fabrication of anisotropic soft actuators by Pan, Houwen Matthew, Chan, Jonathan Kai Bin, Sarkar, Jit, Goto, Atsushi

“…Characterization of anisotropic actuator strips pointed to a lamellar-like arrangement of PBA segments sandwiched between PDMS layers. Anisotropic swelling was programmed in single-layer actuators through shear-induced alignment (x-y axis) and phase separation (z-axis) of dumbbell-shaped BCPs without any additional patterning steps. …”

HiTrip: Historical trajectory interpolation for trawlers via deep learning on multi-source data by Zhao, Zhongning, Chen, Jiaxuan, Shi, Yuqi, Hong, Feng, Jiang, Guiyuan, Huang, Haiguang, Zhao, Jinhua

“…The proposed deep learning model, integrating ResNet, LSTM, and MLP, seamlessly synthesizes spatial features from coarse fishing effort distributions, sea surface factor fields, and current fields, while accounting for the temporal relationships within trajectory segments. Evaluated on 1855 East China Sea trawler VMS records and Copernicus Climate Data Store hydrological factor data, HiTrip achieves a 0.20 km interpolation error, meeting a finery 0.005° × 0.005°spatial resolution demand for fishing effort distribution analysis. …”

Near-Infrared Fluorescent Molecular Probe for Sensitive Imaging of Keloid by Miao, Qingqing, Yeo, David Chenloong, Wiraja, Christian, Zhang, Jianjian, Ning, Xiaoyu, Xu, Chenjie, Pu, Kanyi

“…As keloid cells have high expression levels of fibroblast activation protein-alpha (FAPα), the probe (FNP1) is designed to have a caged NIR dye and a FAPα-cleavable peptide substrate linked by a self-immolative segment. FNP1 can quickly and specifically turn on its fluorescence at 710 nm by 45-fold in the presence of FAPα, allowing it to effectively recognize keloid cells from normal skin cells. …”
