T cell engineering with antigen-specific T cell receptors (TCRs) has allowed the generation of increasingly specific, reliable, and versatile T cell products with near-physiological features. However, a broad applicability of TCR-based therapies in cancer is still limited by the restricted number of TCRs, often also of suboptimal potency,…[Read more]

The findings can promote the extensive application of similar sustainable systems and inspire further advancements in advanced engineering structures.Natural products are the ideal basis for the design of novel efficient molecular entities. Podophyllotoxin, a naturally occurring cyclolignan, is an example of natural product which displays a high…[Read more]

The aortic ring assay further demonstrated that CD137 signaling promoted ECc sprouting. Inhibition of VEGFR2 by siRNA or XL184 (cabozantinib) and inhibition of downstream signaling by LY294002 (inhibits AKT activation) and L-NAME (eNOS inhibitor) remarkably abolished proangiogenic effects of CD137 signaling both in vitro and ex vivo. In addition,…[Read more]

Evidence has revealed an association between finger gnosis and arithmetic skills in young Western children, however, it is unknown whether such an association can be generalized to Chinese children and what mechanism may underlie this relationship. This study examines whether finger gnosis is associated with addition skills in young Chinese…[Read more]

Despite significant advances in reproductive technology, using donor assisted reproductive technology is a double-edged sword that has numerous challenges. CA-074 methyl ester One of the most challenging issues for couples is whether or not to disclose this information to donor offspring. This study, therefore, explored infertile couples’ decision…[Read more]

Lastly, we conducted ab initio modelling of Small Angle Neutron Scattering (SANS) data to visualise the induced oligomeric state of EDIII caused by interaction with chondroitin sulphate C, which may aid in TBV development.Wood-feeding insects should have a source of enzymes like cellulases to digest their food. These enzymes can be produced by the…[Read more]

Patients with sleeping sickness, caused by the parasite Trypanosoma brucei, have disruptions in both sleep timing and sleep architecture. However, the underlying cause of these sleep disturbances is not well understood. Here, we assessed the sleep architecture of male mice infected with T. brucei and found that infected mice had drastically…[Read more]

Differences existed between country cohorts in perceptions of ‘confidence’, ‘strength’, ‘capability’ and ‘security’.

The pattern previously reported among German students was maintained, but a different pattern emerged among Australian students. Differences between countries could reflect cultural differences or variations in the overt and…[Read more]

This systematic review summarised and evaluated the evidence for associations between green space and adolescents’ mental well-being. The PRISMA statement guidelines were followed for reporting systematic reviews. Fourteen articles met the inclusion criteria for this review. Synthesis suggests beneficial associations between green space exposure…[Read more]

TTS is one of these conditions that can be triggered by both emotional and physical impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.Aortic dissection (AD) is a medical emergency, in which acute destruction of aortic wall occurs with unknown etiology. Recent studies have uncovered the critical role of inteleukin-6 (IL-6) and inflammatory cells including…[Read more]
