    Abstract We considered a modular network with a binomial degree distribution and related the analytical relationships of the network properties (modularity, average clustering coefficient, and small-worldness) with structural parameters that define the network, i.e., number of nodes, number of modules, average node degree, and ratio of intra-modular to total connections. Even though modular networks are universally found in real-world systems and are consequently of broad interest in complex network science, the relationship between network properties and structural parameters has not yet been formulated. Here, we show that a series of equations for predicting the network properties can be related using a mean-field connectivity matrix that is defined on the basis of the structural parameters in the network generation algorithm. The theoretical results are then compared with values calculated numerically using the original connectivity matrix and are found to agree well, except when the connections between modules are sparse. Representation of the structure of the network using simple parameters is expected to be conducive for elucidating the structure-dynamics relationship.

    Abstract There is a Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method of incorporating the DNN inference to reduce the computational cost. The reduction is realized by replacing some calculations by DNN inference. The cost reduction depends on the implementation method of the DNN and the accuracy of the DNN inference. Thus, we propose two techniques suitable to infer flow field on the CFD grid. The first technique is to infer the flow field of the steady state from the airfoil shape. We use the position on the coordinates of the grid point and the distance from the surface of the airfoil as input information for the DNN. The second method uses the customized mean square error as a loss function. The size of the associated area for each grid point was multiplied by the square error. This method compensates for the effect caused by the size of the associated area of nonuniform allocation of grid points. The evaluation results show that the CFD incorporated first technique achieves 1.7x speedup against the CFD without DNN, while maintaining equivalent result quality. By implementing the second technique, the CFD realized further 2.3x speed up against the CFD with first technique only.

    Abstract Abstract The decrease of antibody efficacy to mutated SARS-CoV-2 spike RBD explains the breakthrough infections and reinfections by Omicron variants. Here, we analyzed broadly neutralizing antibodies isolated from long-term hospitalized convalescent patients of early SARS-CoV-2 strains. One of the antibodies named NCV2SG48 is highly potent to broad SARS-CoV-2 variants including Omicron BA.1, BA.2, and BA.4/5. To reveal the mode of action, we determined the sequence and crystal structure of the Fab fragment of NCV2SG48 in a complex with spike RBD from the original, Delta, and Omicron BA.1. NCV2SG48 is from a minor VH but the multiple somatic hypermutations contribute to a markedly extended binding interface and hydrogen bonds to interact with conserved residues at the core receptor-binding motif of RBD, which efficiently neutralizes a broad spectrum of variants. Thus, eliciting the RBD-specific B cells to the longitudinal germinal center reaction confers potent immunity to broad SARS-CoV-2 variants emerging one after another.

    Abstract Background: Although induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell-derived cardiac constructs may have a potential in cardiomyogenesis of a distressed myocardium, obtaining polarity in cardiac constructs, such as via myocyte alignment, may be crucial to achieve a maximum contractile force for better clinical outcomes. We herein hypothesized that transplantation of an aligned cardiac tissue derived from iPS cells has therapeutic effects in a porcine ischemic cardiomyopathy model as a preclinical trial.
    Methods: Aligned cardiac tissues were developed by culturing high-purity iPS cell-derived cardiomyocytes in xeno-free conditions and transplanting them into infarct porcine hearts (iPS-CM group, n = 7; control, n = 6). Three months after treatment, therapeutic efficacy was evaluated functionally and histologically.
    Results: In vitro assessment revealed that the aligned cardiac tissue containing high purity cardiomyocytes contracted homogeneously and had excellent mechanical properties. In the in vivo study, the left ventricular ejection fraction of the iPS-CM group was significantly greater than that of the control group, 3 months after transplantation (37.8% ± 2.3% vs 28.3% ± 2.5%, p < 0.05). Pathologically, attenuated interstitial fibrosis, attenuation of hypertrophied cardiomyocytes, and an increased capillary density were also prominent in the iPS-CM group. A limited amount of engraftment of the transplanted tissue maintaining tissue alignment was observed at 2 weeks after transplantation.
    Conclusions: The creation of large-scale functional aligned cardiac tissue was feasible, and the transplantation of the aligned tissue improved cardiac function with angiogenesis and antifibrotic effects in a porcine cardiomyopathy model.

    Abstract The outbreak of SARS-CoV-2 variant Omicron which harbors a striking number of mutations in the spike protein has been raising concerns about the effectiveness of vaccines and antibody treatment1. Here, we confirmed a substantial reduction in neutralizing potency against Omicron in all convalescent and vaccinated sera. However, we found that some people infected by the early strain show relatively higher neutralization to Omicron. From those B cells, we developed neutralizing antibodies inhibiting broad variants including Delta and Omicron. Unlike reported antibodies, one had an extremely large interface and widely covered receptor binding motif of spike, thereby interfering with diversified variants. Somatic mutations introduced by long-term germinal center reaction contributed to the key structure of antibodies and the universal interaction with spike variants. Recalling such rare B cells may confer sustainable protection against SARS-CoV-2 variants emerging one after another.
