DC-SIGN and L-SIGN: the SIGNs for infection [PDF]
Two closely related trans-membrane C-type lectins dendritic cell-specific intracellular adhesion molecules (ICAM)-3 grabbing non-integrin (DC-SIGN or CD209) and liver/lymph node-specific ICAM-3 grabbing non-integrin (L-SIGN also known as DC-SIGNR, CD209L or CLEC4M) directly recognize a wide range of micro-organisms of major impact on public health ...

Signed distance in signed graphs [PDF]
Signed graphs have their edges labeled either as positive or negative. Here we introduce two types of signed distance matrix for signed graphs. We characterize balance in signed graphs using these matrices and we obtain explicit formulae for the distance spectrum of some unbalanced signed graphs.

This volume has arisen from a three-part, five-year study on language contact among multilingual sign language users, which has three strands: cross-signing, sign-switching, and sign-speaking. These phenomena are only sparsely documented so far, and thus

Natural Selection: Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign [PDF]
Natural selection is an important factor influencing variation in the human genome, but most genetic studies of natural selection have focused on variants with unknown phenotypic associations. This trend is changing. New studies are rapidly revealing the effects of natural selection on genetic variants of known or likely functional importance.

Severe malaria can be associated with respiratory complications. Here, the authors show that malaria-associated pulmonary vascular damage is a consequence of IFNγ-activated lung endothelial cells capturing, processing, and cross-presenting malaria ...

CD103+ Dendritic Cells Control Th17 Cell Function in the Lung
Th17 cells express diverse functional programs while retaining their Th17 identity, in some cases exhibiting a stem-cell-like phenotype. Whereas the importance of Th17 cell regulation in autoimmune and infectious diseases is firmly established, the ...

The ATIS sign language corpus [PDF]
Systems that automatically process sign language rely on appropriate data. We therefore present the ATIS sign language corpus that is based on the domain of air travel information. It is available for five languages, English, German, Irish sign language,

Numeral Incorporation as Grammaticalization? A Corpus Study on German Sign Language (DGS)
Numeral incorporation describes the merging of a numeral sign with a lexical sign to create a single sign with a compositional meaning, e.g., “three weeks.” As a phenomenon of simultaneous morphology, numeral incorporation is unique to sign languages ...

Using a new effective action predicted from quantum gravity where the sign of the Euclidean Einstein action is reversed, we discuss Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin (WKB) solutions in quantum cosmology and predict that this sign change might explain the origin of phantom scalars.

Mutating chikungunya virus non‐structural protein produces potent live‐attenuated vaccine candidate
Currently, there are no commercially available live‐attenuated vaccines against chikungunya virus (CHIKV). Here, CHIKVs with mutations in non‐structural proteins (nsPs) were investigated for their suitability as attenuated CHIKV vaccines.
