    Abstract: ... developed as a fully human PD1/LAG3 co-targeting multi-specific Humabody composed of linked V: Results ...

    Abstract Background: Improving cancer immunotherapy long-term clinical benefit is a major priority. It has become apparent that multiple axes of immune suppression restrain the capacity of T cells to provide anti-tumour activity including signalling through PD1/PD-L1 and LAG3/MHC-II.
    Methods: CB213 has been developed as a fully human PD1/LAG3 co-targeting multi-specific Humabody composed of linked V
    Results: CB213 shows picomolar avidity when simultaneously engaging PD1 and LAG3. Assessing LAG3/MHC-II or PD1/PD-L1 suppression individually, CB213 preferentially counters the LAG3 axis. CB213 showed superior activity vs. αPD1 antibody to induce ex vivo NSCLC patient T cell proliferation and to suppress tumour growth in a syngeneic mouse tumour model, for which both experimental systems possess PD1 and LAG3 suppressive components. Non-human primate PK of CB213 suggests weekly clinical administration.
    Conclusions: CB213 is poised to enter clinical development and, through intercepting both PD1 and LAG3 resistance mechanisms, may benefit patients with tumours escaping front-line immunological control.

  3. Article: Computational Insights into As(V) Removal from Water by the UiO-66 Metal–Organic Framework

    Abstract Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) such as UiO-66 have shown great promise for the removal of toxic As(V) species from water, but the precise adsorption mechanism is not yet well understood. In this study, we use density functional theory calculations and cluster models to determine accurate energetics and geometries for the adsorption of As(V) species present under varying pH conditions, namely, arsenic acid and related oxyanions. As a result of this analysis, we identify a new adsorption mode in which two As(V) molecules adsorb in a monodentate fashion on two neighboring Zr open metal sites resulting from capping ligand displacement. This mode is preferred over other adsorption modes previously proposed in the literature at acidic and neutral pH. Multidentate adsorption modes involving adsorption of a single As(V) molecule onto both neighboring Zr sites become more competitive as the pH increases, consistent with the lower adsorption performance observed at basic pH. Additionally, we study the influence of the ligands capping the Zr sites on As(V) adsorption thermodynamics. We show that the hydroxide–water ligand pair is the capping ligand most easily displaced by adsorbing As(V) species, suggesting that defects present in the aqueous environment are the ideal site for As(V) species adsorption. Furthermore, we find that adsorption of phosphate oxyanions can thermodynamically compete with As(V) adsorption, thus potentially explaining the observed decreased As(V) adsorption performance in the presence of phosphates. The molecular-level insights gained in this study are used to draw general design principles for the development of new MOFs that can be employed to remove toxic oxyanions from water.

    Abstract Mutagenic translesion DNA polymerase V (UmuD'2C) is induced as part of the DNA damage-induced SOS response in Escherichia coli, and is subjected to multiple levels of regulation. The UmuC subunit is sequestered on the cell membrane (spatial regulation) and enters the cytosol after forming a UmuD'2C complex, ~ 45 min post-SOS induction (temporal regulation). However, DNA binding and synthesis cannot occur until pol V interacts with a RecA nucleoprotein filament (RecA*) and ATP to form a mutasome complex, pol V Mut = UmuD'2C-RecA-ATP. The location of RecA relative to UmuC determines whether pol V Mut is catalytically on or off (conformational regulation). Here, we present three interrelated experiments to address the biochemical basis of conformational regulation. We first investigate dynamic deactivation during DNA synthesis and static deactivation in the absence of DNA synthesis. Single-molecule (sm) TIRF-FRET microscopy is then used to explore multiple aspects of pol V Mut dynamics. Binding of ATP/ATPγS triggers a conformational switch that reorients RecA relative to UmuC to activate pol V Mut. This process is required for polymerase-DNA binding and synthesis. Both dynamic and static deactivation processes are governed by temperature and time, in which on → off switching is "rapid" at 37°C (~ 1 to 1.5 h), "slow" at 30°C (~ 3 to 4 h) and does not require ATP hydrolysis. Pol V Mut retains RecA in activated and deactivated states, but binding to primer-template (p/t) DNA occurs only when activated. Studies are performed with two forms of the polymerase, pol V Mut-RecA wt, and the constitutively induced and hypermutagenic pol V Mut-RecA E38K/ΔC17. We discuss conformational regulation of pol V Mut, determined from biochemical analysis in vitro, in relation to the properties of pol V Mut in RecA wild-type and SOS constitutive genetic backgrounds in vivo.

    Abstract Extensor tendon repairs, although common, can be difficult injuries to treat. Their treatment is tailored to the zone of the hand that is affected since varying biomechanical forces are applied to the tendon at each zone. Prompt treatment is necessary to prevent potential complications associated with these injuries. This is particularly true of Zone V extensor tendon injuries, as their mechanism is commonly a highly infectious human bite. We present the case of a human fight bite resulting in a Zone V extensor tendon injury. The delayed presentation of this case resulted in an untreated infection that caused an abscess with associated extensor tendon necrosis and rupture. Given the large gap length between the ends of the tendons, tendon repair was performed using a palmaris longus autograft. Even when these are done in a controlled setting, adhesions are common. The compromised wound bed caused irritation, erosion, and subsequent rupture of the extensor tendon of the hand. In an effort to avoid common complications such as adhesion, the repair was then wrapped with human umbilical membrane (AVIVE® Soft Tissue Membrane, AxoGen Inc., Alachua, FL) to separate adjacent tissue and reduce inflammation. Even without access to formal physical therapy, our patient had excellent functional outcomes at his final follow-up visit. The patient was able to make a loose composite fist, had no extensor lag at the MCP joints, and had extensor lag of 15 degrees at the PIP joints of digits 4-5.

    Abstract: ... myelopathy caused by venous congestion from a type V dural AVF supplied by the artery of Wollschlaeger and ...

    Abstract Background: The artery of Wollschlaeger and Wollschlaeger is a tentorial branch of the superior cerebellar artery that is usually not visualized on conventional cerebral angiography, unless it is pathologically enlarged. It can be recruited as part of the blood supply to tentorial dural arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs), although this occurs infrequently.
    Case description: Here we report the clinico-radiologic evaluation and treatment of a 48-year-old man referred to our institution for hitherto workup negative progressive, relapsing quadriparesis. This represents the first reported case of cervical myelopathy caused by venous congestion from a type V dural AVF supplied by the artery of Wollschlaeger and Wollschlaeger.
    Conclusions: The anatomic discrepancy between the symptomatic spinal cord lesion and the etiologic intracranial fistula frequently results in delayed care in cases of myelopathy due to intracranial dural AVFs. Familiarity with these disorders and of their pathophysiologic mechanisms is important to avoid unnecessary diagnostic delays.

    Abstract ESA's PROBA-V Earth observation satellite enables us to monitor our planet at a large scale, studying the interaction between vegetation and climate and provides guidance for important decisions on our common global future. However, the interval at which high resolution images are recorded spans over several days, in contrast to the availability of lower resolution images which is often daily. We collect an extensive dataset of both, high and low resolution images taken by PROBA-V instruments during monthly periods to investigate Multi Image Super-resolution, a technique to merge several low resolution images to one image of higher quality. We propose a convolutional neural network that is able to cope with changes in illumination, cloud coverage and landscape features which are challenges introduced by the fact that the different images are taken over successive satellite passages over the same region. Given a bicubic upscaling of low resolution images taken under optimal conditions, we find the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio of the reconstructed image of the network to be higher for a large majority of different scenes. This shows that applied machine learning has the potential to enhance large amounts of previously collected earth observation data during multiple satellite passes.
