Mechanisms of IgE‐mediated food allergy and the role of allergen‐specific B cells

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Food allergy arises when allergen‐specific B cells preferentially produce immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies against harmless foods. This article explains the mechanisms driving IgE‐mediated reactions, highlights the central role of these B cells, and discusses how natural tolerance (NT) and oral immunotherapy (OIT) can reshape allergic immune responses.

Shear modulus and Dilatancy Softening in Granular Packings above Jamming

open access: yes, 2014
We investigate experimentally the mechanical response of a monolayer of bi-disperse frictional grains to an inhomogeneous shear perturbation across the jamming transition.

ON CANTOR SETS AND PACKING MEASURES

open access: yesBulletin of the Korean Mathematical Society, 2015
For every doubling gauge g, we prove that there is a Cantor set of positive finite -measure, -measure, and -premeasure. Also, we show that every compact metric space of infinite -premeasure has a compact countable subset of infinite -premeasure. In addition, we obtain a class of uniform Cantor sets and prove that, for every set E in this class, there ...

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...

Packed Bed Performance Analytics Based on Gamma Scans

open access: yesChemical Engineering Transactions, 2018
Refinery and chemical plant operations depend heavily on distillation and separation towers. Tower gamma scanning is well established in the process industries as a qualitative tool to help troubleshoot towers. Advancements in data analysis have led to a

Packing ellipsoids with overlap

open access: yes, 2012
The problem of packing ellipsoids of different sizes and shapes into an ellipsoidal container so as to minimize a measure of overlap between ellipsoids is considered. A bilevel optimization formulation is given, together with an algorithm for the general

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.

Bowen’s Equations for Weighted Upper Metric Mean Dimension with Potential

open access: yesMathematics
In this paper, we define the weighted upper metric mean dimension with potential and derive its corresponding Bowen’s equation. Furthermore, we introduce the weighted BS metric mean dimension and the weighted packing BS metric mean dimension on the ...

Stabilization of Supramolecular Networks of Polyiodides with Protonated Small Tetra-azacyclophanes

open access: yesInorganics, 2019
Polyiodide chemistry is among the first historically reported examples of supramolecular forces at work. To date, owing to the increasingly recognized role of halogen bonding and the incorporation of iodine-based components in several devices, it remains
