The intracellular domain of TLR2 is capable of high‐affinity Zn binding: possible outcomes for the receptor activation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) are important in the innate immune system. This study explores the zinc‐binding ability of the TLR2 TIR domain (TLR2TIR). We found that TLR2TIR binds zinc with nanomolar affinity through its cysteine residues. Two of them, C673 and C713, are vital for receptor activation, indicating that zinc may play a role in initiating ...

Adsorption of oleic acid on magnetite facets

Communications Chemistry, 2022
Metal oxide nanoparticles functionalized by organic molecules are important building blocks for nanocomposites. Here, the authors study the adsorption of oleic acid on magnetite (001) and (111) surfaces experimentally by SXRD, LEED, FT-IRRAS and XRR, and

Bimodality of Wind-fed Accretion in High Mass X-ray Binaries [PDF]

, 2014
We study an influence of X-ray photo-ionization from an accreting neutron star in a high mass X-ray binary. Our aim is to unveil a new principle governing X-ray luminosities of X-ray binaries, with a simple analysis of fluid equations simulating line-driven wind flow under influence of X-ray irradiation.

Social context prevents heat hormetic effects against mutagens during fish development

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
This study shows that sublethal heat stress protects fish embryos against ultraviolet radiation, a concept known as ‘hormesis’. However, chemical stress transmission between fish embryos negates this protective effect. By providing evidence for the mechanistic molecular basis of heat stress hormesis and interindividual stress communication, this study ...

X-ray beam diagnostics at the MID instrument of the European X-ray Free-Electron Laser Facility

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation
The Materials Imaging and Dynamics (MID) instrument at the European X-ray Free-Electron Laser Facility (EuXFEL) is equipped with a multipurpose diagnostic end-station (DES) at the end of the instrument.

Diffuse X-ray scattering from polished silicon: application of the distorted wave Born approximation

Journal of Synchrotron Radiation, 2022
Measured diffuse X-ray scattering data for a `smooth' as well as for a `rough' silicon sample were fit to theoretical expressions within the distorted wave Born approximation (DWBA).

miRNA‐29 regulates epidermal and mesenchymal functions in skin repair

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
miRNA‐29 inhibits cell‐to‐cell and cell‐to‐matrix adhesion by silencing mRNA targets. Adhesion is controlled by complex interactions between many types of molecules coded by mRNAs. This is crucial for keeping together the layers of the skin and for regenerating the skin after wounding.

Adversarial robustness improvement for X-ray bone segmentation using synthetic data created from computed tomography scans

Scientific Reports
Deep learning-based image analysis offers great potential in clinical practice. However, it faces mainly two challenges: scarcity of large-scale annotated clinical data for training and susceptibility to adversarial data in inference.

X-ray reflection in a sample of X-ray bright ultraluminous X-ray sources [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2010
We apply a reflection-based model to the best available XMM-Newton spectra of X-ray bright UltraLuminous X-ray (ULX) sources (NGC 1313 X-1, NGC 1313 X-2, M 81 X-6, Holmberg IX X-1, NGC 5408 X-1 and Holmberg II X-1). A spectral drop is apparent in the data of all the sources at energies 6-7 keV.
