Genetic variation in the immunoglobulin heavy chain locus shapes the human antibody repertoire

Nature Communications, 2023
Variation in the antibody response has been linked to differential outcomes in disease, and suboptimal vaccine and therapeutic responsiveness, the determinants of which have not been fully elucidated.

Effects of polymer concentration and chain length on aggregation in physically associating polymer solutions

Condensed Matter Physics, 2011
The effects of polymer concentration and chain length on aggregation in associative polymer solutions, are studied using self-consistent field lattice model. Only two inhomogenous morphologies, i.e.

Understanding Food Loss and Waste—Why Are We Losing and Wasting Food?

Foods, 2019
The Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) reported that approximately one-third of all produced foods (1.3 billion tons of edible food) for human consumption is lost and wasted every year across the entire supply chain.

Natural Variation of Vitamin D and Neurofilament Light Chain in Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis

Frontiers in Neurology, 2020
Background: High serum levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) have been found among patients with a favorable disease course in relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), indicating that this may limit clinical deterioration.

Natural variation in C. elegans arsenic toxicity is explained by differences in branched chain amino acid metabolism

eLife, 2019
We find that variation in the dbt-1 gene underlies natural differences in Caenorhabditis elegans responses to the toxin arsenic. This gene encodes the E2 subunit of the branched-chain α-keto acid dehydrogenase (BCKDH) complex, a core component of ...

Faking the News: Intentional Guided Variation Reflects Cognitive Biases in Transmission Chains Without Recall

Cultural Science, 2018
Two potential forms of mutation in cultural evolution have been identified: ‘copying error’, where learners make random modifications to a behaviour and ‘guided variation’ where learners makes non-random modifications.
