Lasso-grafted designer cytokines [PDF]
Cytokine receptor agonists can be designed with longer half-lives in circulation and with enhanced penetration of the blood-brain barrier by genetically grafting macrocyclic peptides into the structural loops of fragment crystallizable ...

Probing Hilbert space fragmentation and the block inverse participation ratio [PDF]
We consider a family of quantum many-body Hamiltonians that show exact Hilbert space fragmentation in certain limits. The question arises whether fragmentation has implications for Hamiltonians in the vicinity of the subset defined by these exactly fragmented models, in particular in the thermodynamic limit.

Molecular modeling of antibodies for the treatment of TNFα-related immunological diseases [PDF]
Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) have high efficacy in treating TNF α-related immunological diseases. Other than neutralizing TNF α, these IgG1 antibodies exert Fc receptor-mediated effector functions such as the complement-dependent cytotoxicity

C3 Drives Inflammatory Skin Carcinogenesis Independently of C5 [PDF]
Nonmelanoma skin cancer such as cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (cSCC) is the most common form of cancer and can occur as a consequence of DNA damage to the epithelium by UVR or chemical carcinogens. There is growing evidence that the complement system

Immunoglobulin G fragment crystallizable glycosylation after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is dissimilar to donor profiles [PDF]
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) fragment crystallizable (Fc) N-glycosylation has a large influence on the affinity of the antibody for binding to Fcγ-receptors (FcγRs) and C1q protein, thereby influencing immune effector functions.
