Seronegative spondyloarthropathies : a review : part II: genetics and pathogenesis [PDF]

, 1993
In none of the spondyloarthropathies is the pathogenesis well understood. Much of the investigation into the aetio-pathogenesis of these diseases has focused on the association with HLA-B27 and the known triggering potential of certain infectious agents.

Physicochemical analysis of rotavirus segment 11 supports a 'modified panhandle' structure and not the predicted alternative tRNA-like structure (TRLS) [PDF]

, 2013
.Rotaviruses are a major cause of acute gastroenteritis, which is often fatal in infants. The viral genome consists of 11 double-stranded RNA segments, but little is known about their cis-acting sequences and structural elements.

Microneedle‐Based Biofertilizer Delivery Improves Plant Growth Through Microbiome Engineering

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This figure shows how microneedles are used to deliver biofertilizers to enhance plant growth through microbial migration, metabolic reprogramming, and changes in plant endogenous microbiome. Abstract This study presents a microneedle‐based system for the delivery of rhizospheric biofertilizers into plant tissues to enhance growth.

Anti-ganglioside anti-idiotypic vaccination: more than molecular mimicry.

Frontiers in Oncology, 2012
Surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy are standard modalities for cancer treatment, but the effectiveness of these treatments has reached a plateau. Thus, other strategies are being explored to combine with the current treatment paradigms in order

Spectrally Tuned Floating‐Gate Synapse Based on Blue‐ and Red‐Absorbing Organic Molecules for Wavelength‐Selective Neural Networks and Fashion Image Classifications

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The characteristics of a vertical floating gate heterostructure transistor device that exhibits neuromorphic potentiation under visible light illumination are investigated. Due to spectrally‐tuned absorbance properties of each thin film layer and introduction of tunneling dielectric, the device enables wavelength‐selective tuning of synaptic plasticity

Specific immunoassays confirm association of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis with type-1 but not type-2 diabetes mellitus [PDF]

, 2009
Background Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculosis (MAP) is a versatile pathogen with a broad host range. Its association with type-1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) has been recently proposed.

Generation of an Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell‐Derived Alveolar Type II In Vitro Model to Study Influenza A Virus Infection and Drug Treatments

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Patient‐specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) can be differentiated into alveolar type II cells (iAT2s), expanded as 3D alveolospheres, and grown at physiologically relevant air–liquid interface (ALI). This study shows for the first time the infectability of iAT2s by the influenza A virus (IAV) and proves their responsiveness to the well ...

Immobilization by surface conjugation of cyclic peptides for effective mimicry of the HCV-envelope E2 protein as a strategy toward synthetic vaccines [PDF]

, 2018
Mimicry of the binding interface of antibody-antigen interactions using peptide-based modulators (i.e. epitope mimics) has promising applications for vaccine design.

A Computational Journey Toward an Optimal Design for Metamaterial Epicardial Passive Sleeves

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Passive epicardial sleeves are evaluated in 3D in‐silico heart models to reveal how sleeve geometry, stiffness, anisotropy, and metamaterial architecture influence cardiac mechanics after myocardial infarction. A continuum‐to‐auxetic design exploration shows that region‐specific mechanical engagement can reduce infarct bulging and modulate torsional ...
