Miniatures and Animism: The communicative role of Inka carved stone conopa [PDF]

, 2016
Andean offerings use miniaturisation and synecdoche to enact connections within a relational animism (where people, places and things participate in an interactive network), allowing the person preparing the offering to make material links between them ...

A complete mitochondrial genome sequence of the wild two-humped camel (Camelus bactrianus ferus): an evolutionary history of camelidae

BMC Genomics, 2007
Background The family Camelidae that evolved in North America during the Eocene survived with two distinct tribes, Camelini and Lamini. To investigate the evolutionary relationship between them and to further understand the evolutionary history of this ...

Methane emission by Camelids [PDF]

, 2014
Methane emissions from ruminant livestock have been intensively studied in order to reduce contribution to the greenhouse effect. Ruminants were found to produce more enteric methane than other mammalian herbivores.

A mass sacrifice of children and camelids at the Huanchaquito-Las Llamas site, Moche Valley, Peru.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Here we report the results of excavation and interdisciplinary study of the largest child and camelid sacrifice known from the New World. Stratigraphy, associated artifacts, and radiocarbon dating indicate that it was a single mass killing of more than ...

DNA Nanostructure‐Templated Multivalency Enables Broad‐Spectrum Virus Inhibition

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A honeycomb‐shaped DNA nanostructure is introduced that organizes nanobodies or aptamers into trimeric clusters mirroring the native hemagglutinin arrangement on influenza viruses. This geometry‐matched multivalency enhances binding avidity by up to 1000‐fold, resulting in robust, broad‐spectrum viral neutralization and a 30–55% improvement in host ...

Camelids and sustainable development [PDF]

, 2015
Face to the global changes and new climatic constraints, the camel farming is confronted to new challenges, first to contribute to the “livestock revolution” (for reaching the requirements of a growing human population), especially in remote places of ...

GPCRs in CAR‐T Cell Immunotherapy: Expanding the Target Landscape and Enhancing Therapeutic Efficacy

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy faces dual challenges of target scarcity and an immunosuppressive microenvironment in solid tumors. This review highlights how G protein‐coupled receptors can serve as both novel targets to expand the therapeutic scope and functional modules to enhance CAR‐T cell efficacy.

Antibody‐Empowered Nanomedicine for Precise Biomedical Applications

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review explores strategies for functionalizing nanoparticles with antibodies to construct antibody‐empowered nanomedicine. It discusses the classification of these nanomedicines based on antibody structure, with a specific focus on their biomedical applications in diagnostics, bioimaging, and therapeutics for various diseases.

Protein binding assessment of immobilized nanobody using interferometric nanoporous platform

VIEW, EarlyView.
Nanoporous anodic alumina photonic chip technology is combined with tailor‐engineered “nanobodies”—recombinant variable domains of heavy‐chain‐only antibodies—to achieve high affinity binding to human serum albumin. Abstract Protein sensors are key tools for infectious disease diagnosis and monitoring.
