Two-Dimensional Label-Free Affinity Analysis of Tumor-Specific CD8 T Cells with a Biomimetic Plasmonic Sensor

Hatice Altug, George Coukos, Aurélian Michel John-Herpin, Xiaokang Li, Maria Soler Aznar

The screening and analysis of T cells functional avidity for specific tumor-associated antigens is crucial for the development of personalized immunotherapies against cancer. The affinity and kinetics of a T cell receptor (TCR) binding to the peptide-major ...

Efficient inference for genetic association studies with multiple outcomes

Anthony Christopher Davison, Jörg Hager, Hélène Ruffieux

Combined inference for heterogeneous high-dimensional data is critical in modern biology, where clinical and various kinds of molecular data may be available from a single study. Classical genetic association studies regress a single clinical outcome on ma ...

Integrated field, laboratory, and theoretical study of PKD spread in a Swiss prealpine river

Andrea Rinaldo, Enrico Bertuzzo, Lorenzo Mari, Luca Carraro

Proliferative kidney disease (PKD) is a major threat to wild and farmed salmonid populations because of its lethal effect at high water temperatures. Its causative agent, the myxozoan Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae, has a complex lifecycle exploiting freshw ...

Back to the Source: an Online Approach for Sensor Placement and Source Localization

Patrick Thiran, Brunella Marta Spinelli, Laura Elisa Celis

Source localization, the act of finding the originator of a disease or rumor in a network, has become an important problem in sociology and epidemiology. The localization is done using the infection state and time of infection of a few designated sensor no ...

Role of APOBEC3F Gene Variation in HIV-1 Disease Progression and Pneumocystis Pneumonia

Jacques Fellay, Christian Axel Wandall Thorball, Istvan Bartha

Human APOBEC3 cytidine deaminases are intrinsic resistance factors to HIV-1. However, HIV-1 encodes a viral infectivity factor (Vif) that degrades APOBEC3 proteins. In vitro APO-BEC3F (A3F) anti-HIV-1 activity is weaker than A3G but is partially resistant ...

Serum profiling of healthy aging identifies phospho- and sphingolipid species as markers of human longevity

As centenarians well represent the model of healthy aging, there are many important implications in revealing the underlying molecular mechanisms behind such successful aging. By combining NMR metabonomics and shot-gun lipidomics in serum we analyzed metab ...

Application of High-Density DNA Resequencing Microarray for Detection and Characterization of Botulinum Neurotoxin-Producing Clostridia

Stewart Cole

Background: Clostridium botulinum and related clostridia express extremely potent toxins known as botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) that cause severe, potentially lethal intoxications in humans. These BoNT-producing bacteria are categorized in seven major toxi ...
