The emergence of viruses with pandemic potential such as the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus causing COVID-19 poses a global health challenge. There is remarkable progress in vaccine technology in response to this threat, but their design often overlooks the innate arm of immunity. Gamma Delta (γδ) T cells are a subset of T cells with unique features t…[Lees meer]

Herein we report a practical and efficient copper-catalyzed approach for the conversion of various arenediazonium salts to the corresponding N-protected sulfonimidoyl fluorides. This operationally simple protocol tolerates a wide range of functional groups and can be applied to the late-stage modification of complex bioactive molecules.…[Lees meer]

Identifying the steps prone to errors and key sites of self-contamination in the process of PPE donning and doffing can facilitate the training of PPE use and provide detailed evidence for optimizing standardized protocols to reduce contamination.

Three categories of MDs, high-tech, low-tech and no-tech, can be identified from the survey-based investigation. Our survey’s results indicate an urgent need for integration of pre- and post-graduation training in digital health to provide adequate medical education.

Understanding magnetically induced currents (MICs) in aromatic or metallic nanostructures is crucial for interpreting local magnetic shielding and NMR data. Direct measurements of the induced currents have been successful only in a few planar molecules but their indirect effects are seen in NMR shifts of probe nuclei. Here, we have implemented a…[Lees meer]

Furthermore, we found that the phenotype of Pol θ mutants can be aggravated by modifying their growth conditions, suggesting that environmental conditions impact the basal level of replicative stress and providing evidence for a link between plants’ responses to adverse conditions and mechanisms involved in the maintenance of genome…[Lees meer]

Specific sensing and functional tuning of nucleic acid secondary structures remain less explored to date. Herein, we report a thiazole polyamide TPW that binds specifically to c-KIT1 G-quadruplex (G4) with sub-micromolar affinity and ∼1  1 stoichiometry and represses c-KIT proto-oncogene expression. TPW shows up to 10-fold increase in fluor…[Lees meer]

the highest proportion (33.8%) of high-risk HPV, followed by women with only one child (26.9%). Those women without history of abortion had a higher frequency of high-risk HPV (71.9%), followed by those with one abortion (25.8%).Identifying single nucleotide variants has become common practice for droplet-based single-cell RNA-seq experiments;…[Lees meer]
