The 10E8 antibody targets a helical epitope in the membrane-proximal external region (MPER) and transmembrane domain (TMD) of the envelope glycoprotein (Env) subunit gp41 and is among the broadest known neutralizing antibodies against HIV-1. Accordingly, this antibody and its mechanism of action valuably inform the design of effective vaccines and immunotherapies. 10E8 exhibits unusual adaptations
Amyloid protein deposits are the hallmark of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, or diabetes type II. Although their connection to the diseases is not fully understood, many studies point at intermediate species called oligomers as being the main responsible for the toxicity of these proteins. This makes them strong candidates as therapeutic targets. However, due to their
BACKGROUND: There is a well-known comorbidity between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and coronary artery disease (CAD) which is only partially explained by common risk factors. Markers of cardiovascular autonomic dysfunction (CVAD), such as orthostatic hypotension and increased resting heart rate, are strongly associated with CAD. The autonomic nervous system also innervates the airw

Background:Acute mesenteric venous thrombosis (MVT) is rarely suspected as primary diagnosis in emergency departments and still carries an in-hospital mortality rate of above 20%.Objectives:The aim of this study was to find differences in clinical and laboratory markers between patients with acute MVT and a control group of suspected but confirmed as not having any type of acute mesenteric ischaem
This chapter discusses how the official religious policies stipulated in the so-called Document 19 issued by the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party in 1982 have transformed into the current religious laws and policies under Xi Jinping. Therefore, it analyses the most recent amendment (2017) of the Religious Affairs Regulations (RAR), Administrative Measures for Religious Groups (2020
As late as in the 1970s, the evidence supporting that brain function might be restored by replacing dead cells by transplantation of new healthy cells was scarce in experimental animals and lacking in humans. Repairing the human brain was regarded as completely unrealistic by clinicians. Fifty years later, the situation is very different, and cellular grafting has reached patient application in se
This paper examines the history of entrepreneurship education (EE) in the United Kingdom (UK), exploring different forms and types as they have emerged over time. The study uses a wide range of sources, including both secondary (e.g. published papers, historical records of specific programmes, and enterprise policy documents) and primary accounts that document the lived experience of educators. It
This article addresses the problem of multi-target localization from acoustic time delay measurements in a 3-D underwater environment, taking into account the depth-dependent sound speed of the underwater wave propagation. Specifically, we formulate the problem as an optimal mass transport (OMT) optimization over a grid of potential candidate positions. By exploiting an iterative refinement approa
There is a growing call for comparative analyses of forest governance to facilitate knowledge exchange for the sustainable management of Nordic forest systems, addressing the needs of societal stakeholders in enhancing both the quality and quantity of forest resources. This study traces the development of nation-wide policy instruments implemented in four Nordic countries; Finland, Sweden, Norway
Repair and replacement strategies using cell replacement or viral gene transfer for neurologic diseases are becoming increasingly efficacious with clinically meaningful benefits in several conditions. An increased understanding of disease processes opens up opportunities for genetic therapies and precision medicine methods aiming at disease modification or repair of lesioned neurologic structures.
A person’s life chances and quality of life depend on social class distinctions, but more so on the region one grew up in. Perspectives of the ‘urban’ or ‘metropolitan’ are a starting point when discussing geographical inequalities vis-à-vis rural, peripheral regions. How disrupting these problems and challenges are on the one (urban) and the other (rural) end of the geographical scope depends on
BACKGROUND: Anastomotic leakage after rectal cancer surgery is linked to reduced survival and higher recurrence rates. While an aggravated inflammatory response may worsen outcomes, few studies have explored the combined effects of leakage and inflammation.METHODS: This is a retrospective multicenter cohort study including patients operated with anterior resection for rectal cancer in Sweden durin
The labor market integration of migrants, focusing on employment and job quality, differs notably across Southern and Continental-Northern European nations, often involving trade-offs. Nonetheless, little is known about whether these diverse migrant inclusion models in European labor markets extend to the combination of employment and overeducation. Additionally, the role of gender in this context
The term “charisma” is recognized as sociology's most successful export to common speech. While sociologists habitually dismiss popular uses of the word, we address its vernacularity head on as a worthy object of study and as a potential resource for conceptual development. Using machine learning, we locate “charisma” within the wider discursive field out of which it arises (and continues to arise

BACKGROUND Reusing anaesthesia infusion-set components may reduce the climate impact from plastic waste and discarded medications. Infusion-set contents can be shielded from patient contact by single use of an infusion line fitted with dual antireflux valves, preventing retrograde entry of microorganisms, and eliminating the risk for patient-to-patient cross-contamination. However, infusion-set co
This paper investigates the use of decentralised control architectures with heterogeneous dynamics for improving performance in large-scale systems. Our focus is on two well-known decentralised approaches; the 'predecessor following' and 'bidirectional' architectures for vehicle platooning. The former, utilising homogeneous control dynamics, is known to face exponential growth in disturbance ampli
