Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) as therapeutics necessitate favorable pharmacokinetic properties, including extended serum half-life, achieved through pH-dependent binding to the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn).

FcRn regulates antigen presentation in dendritic cells downstream of DEC205-targeted vaccines
Dendritic cell (DC)-targeted vaccination is a new mode of antigen delivery that relies on the use of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) to target antigen to specific DC subsets.

Monoclonal antibody (mAb) pharmacokinetics (PK) have largely been predicted via allometric scaling with little consideration for cross‐species differences in neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn) affinity or clearance/distribution mechanisms.

Neonatal EEG Interpretation and Decision Support Framework for Mobile Platforms [PDF]
This paper proposes and implements an intuitive and pervasive solution for neonatal EEG monitoring assisted by sonification and deep learning AI that provides information about neonatal brain health to all neonatal healthcare professionals, particularly those without EEG interpretation expertise.

Microbiota-dependent and -independent postnatal development of salivary immunity
Summary: While saliva regulates the interplay between the microbiota and the oral immune system, the mechanisms establishing postnatal salivary immunity are ill-defined.

FcRn Expression in Wildtype Mice, Transgenic Mice, and in Human Tissues
Quantitative real-time PCR and Western blot methods were developed to assess neonatal Fc-receptor (FcRn) mRNA and protein expression in human FcRn transgenic mice, Swiss Webster mice, and in select human tissues. Additionally, FcRn turnover was evaluated

Firing Cell: An Artificial Neuron with a Simulation of Long-Term-Potentiation-Related Memory [PDF]
We propose a computational model of neuron, called firing cell (FC), properties of which cover such phenomena as attenuation of receptors for external stimuli, delay and decay of postsynaptic potentials, modification of internal weights due to propagation of postsynaptic potentials through the dendrite, modification of properties of the analog memory ...

Do neonates hear what we measure? Assessing neonatal ward soundscapes at the neonates ears [PDF]
Acoustic guidelines for neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) aim to protect vulnerable neonates from noise-induced physiological harm. However, the lack of recognised international standards for measuring neonatal soundscapes has led to inconsistencies in instrumentation and microphone placement in existing literature, raising concerns about the ...
