Somatic hypermutation of T cell receptor α chain contributes to selection in nurse shark thymus
eLife, 2018 Since the discovery of the T cell receptor (TcR), immunologists have assigned somatic hypermutation (SHM) as a mechanism employed solely by B cells to diversify their antigen receptors.

3-D facial expression representation using statistical shape models [PDF]
, 2008 This poster describes a methodology for facial expressions representation, using 3-D/4-D data, based on the statistical shape modelling technology. The proposed method uses a shape space vector to model surface deformations, and a modified iterative ...

Toward a unified understanding of people’s aversion to nature: biophobia
Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment, EarlyView.Human–nature relationships are often framed positively, but research rarely addresses biophobia, the aversion to nature. However, negative relationships with nature are likely to become more widespread following societal and environmental changes, with serious implications for public health and conservation efforts.

Flavour and Fragrance Journal, EarlyView.We unveil that CLC orchestrates the dual role of eosinophil recruitment via CCL26 and tissue remodelling via POSTN in allergic rhinitis, identifying it as a potential therapeutic target. ABSTRACT Allergic rhinitis (AR) is a chronic airway inflammation driven by a type 2 immune response, yet the molecular mechanisms underlying its persistence and tissue
