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

FEBS 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.

Quantum dynamics of a two-level emitter with modulated transition frequency

, 2014
The resonant quantum dynamics of an excited two-level emitter is investigated via classical modulation of its transition frequency while simultaneously the radiator interacts with a broadband electromagnetic field reservoir.

A millimetre wave phase shifter using a 40GHz hybrid mode locked laser [PDF]

, 2008
In this paper, electrical injection locking of a modelocked laser is used to create a millimetre wave phase shifter. The phase shift is measured directly using a vector network analyzer enabling straightforward characterization of such systems.

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

FEBS 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 ...

Performance Analysis of Coherent and Noncoherent Modulation under I/Q Imbalance

, 2017
In-phase/quadrature-phase Imbalance (IQI) is considered a major performance-limiting impairment in direct-conversion transceivers. Its effects become even more pronounced at higher carrier frequencies such as the millimeter-wave frequency bands being ...

Spectrum to distance mapping via nonlinear Airy pulses [PDF]

, 2013
We theoretically and experimentally study the phenomena related to self-phase modulation of Airy pulses in fibers. During nonlinear evolution, most spectral components of the Airy pulses concentrate into one or two peaks for normal and anomalous ...

50-Gb/s silicon quadrature phase-shift keying modulator

Optics Express, 2012
We report the first successful demonstration of quadrature phase-shift keying (QPSK) modulation using two nested silicon Mach-Zehnder modulators. 50-Gb/s QPSK signal is generated with only 2.7-dB optical signal-to-noise ratio penalties from the theoretical limit at a bit-error ratio of 10(-3).

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS 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+.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Electrically tunable harmonics in time-modulated metasurfaces for wavefront engineering

New Journal of Physics, 2018
Modulation of metasurfaces in time gives rise to several exotic space–time scattering phenomena by breaking the reciprocity constraint and generation of higher-order frequency harmonics. We introduce a new design paradigm for time-modulated metasurfaces,
