STM Single Atom/Molecule Manipulation and Its Application to Nanoscience and Technology [PDF]
Single atom/molecule manipulation with a scanning-tunneling-microscope (STM) tip is an innovative experimental technique of nanoscience. Using STM-tip as an engineering or analytical tool, artificial atomic-scale structures can be fabricated, novel quantum phenomena can be probed, and properties of single atoms and molecules can be studied at an atomic

IntroductionThe presence of de novo donor-specific antibody (dnDSA) has detrimental effect on allograft outcomes in kidney transplantation. As humoral responses in transplantation are elicited targeting non-self-epitopes on donor HLA proteins, assessing ...

Genetic and serological heterogeneity of the supertypic HLA-B locus specificities Bw4 and Bw6 [PDF]
Gene cloning and sequencing of the HLA-B locus split antigens B38 (B16.1) and B39 (B16.2) allowed localization of their subtypic as well as their public specificities HLA-Bw4 or -Bw6 to the c~-helical region of the c~ 1 domain flanked by the amino acid ...

HLA and cross-reactive antigen group matching for cadaver kidney allocation [PDF]
Background. Allocation of cadaver kidneys by graded human leukocyte antigen (HLA) compatibility scoring arguably has had little effect on overall survival while prejudicing the transplant candidacy of African-American and other hard to match populations.

Indirect Scapholunate Ligament Repair: All Arthroscopic
The arthroscopic technique most frequently used in acute scapholunate instability is reduction and fixation with Kirschner wires. To repair the injured ligament, open surgery and dorsal capsular plication are recommended, but this procedure has the risk ...

Dynamic behaviour of Multilamellar Vesicles under Poiseuille flow [PDF]
Surfactant solutions exhibit multilamellar surfactant vesicles (MLVs) under flow conditions and in concentration ranges which are found in a large number of industrial applications. MLVs are typically formed from a lamellar phase and play an important role in determining the rheological properties of surfactant solutions. Despite the wide literature on

Dynamical System Modeling to Simulate Donor T Cell Response to Whole Exome Sequencing-Derived Recipient Peptides: Understanding Randomness in Clinical Outcomes Following Stem Cell Transplantation [PDF]
Alloreactivity following stem cell transplantation (SCT) is difficult to predict in patients undergoing transplantation from HLA matched donors. In this study we performed whole exome sequencing of SCT donor-recipient pairs (DRP). This allowed determination of entire library of alloreactive peptide sequences which would bind HLA class I molecules in ...

Conformational Plasticity of HLA-B27 Molecules Correlates Inversely With Efficiency of Negative T Cell Selection [PDF]
The development of autoimmune disorders is incompletely understood. Inefficient thymic T cell selection against self-peptides presented by major histocompatibility antigens (HLA in humans) may contribute to the emergence of auto-reactive effector cells ...
