Canonical Antibodies Adopt Distinct Binding Modes to Recognize Viral Glycan Shields

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Canonical Y‐shaped antibodies recognize viral glycan shields through adaptive Fab assembly states shaped by glycan organization and somatic hypermutation. Structural analyses ofbroadly neutralizing antibodies VRC35 and VRC36 across glycoproteins of HIV‐1, influenza, SARS‐CoV‐2, and Lassa viruses reveal distinct Fab assembly states, spanning monovalent,

An overview of Lassa fever

WikiJournal of Medicine, 2019
Lassa fever is a viral hemorrhagic fever caused by Lassa virus (Lassa mammarenavirus), a negative-sense single-stranded RNA virus of the Arenaviridae family. In most cases Lassa virus infection is asymptomatic (presenting no symptom). When symptomatic it

Architected Spatially Deterministic Multiscale Phase Segregation in Block Copolymer Composites for Augmented Radiative Cooling

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Multiscale phase segregation in block copolymers enables spatially deterministic structuring from molecular to macroscopic scales, decoupling solar scattering and infrared emission for augmented radiative cooling. ABSTRACT Passive radiative cooling, which reflects solar irradiation while emitting heat through the atmospheric window, provides a ...

A mouse model of mechanical stress injury to the basal ganglia using thermosensitive PNIPAM hydrogel for intracerebral hemorrhage research

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In this study, we established a novel mouse model of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) by stereotactically injecting thermosensitive PNIPAM hydrogel into the internal capsule to impose localized mechanical stress on the corticospinal tract, which provides a straightforward and reproducible tool for preclinical studies on focal mechanical stress–induced ...

Fatal case of newborn Lassa fever virus infection mimicking late onset neonatal sepsis: a case report from northern Nigeria

Infectious Diseases of Poverty, 2020
Background Lassa fever is a zoonotic viral infection endemic to the West Africa countries. It is highly fatal during pregnancy and as such reports of neonatal onset Lassa fever infections are rare in scientific literature. We report a fatal case of Lassa

Comparison of rat hypertrophic scar models: Caudal tension model with superior pathological consistency

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study compared hypertrophic scar (HS) formation in SD rats at ear, back, and tail sites with or without mechanical tension. The ear model healed spontaneously by day 30. Dorsal full‐thickness excision (1 × 8 cm) produced moderate HS. In contrast, the tail tension model showed the greatest scar thickness, fibroblast density, collagen deposition ...
