Comparing the effect of FUAS and myomectomy on the elasticity of myometrium around targeted uterine fibroid by Ziyao Wang, Yan Ma, Jia Zhou, Feng Jiang, Jin-yun Chen, Wen-zhi Chen

“…The stiffness of the surrounding myometrium in the ME group was statistically significantly higher than that of the FUAS group 1 day as well as 1, 3, and 6 months after the treatment, respectively.Conclusion The FUAS had less impact on the surrounding myometrium than the ME, which may be more conducive to the recovery of myometrial elasticity in patients with UF.…”

Antibodies to the RBD of SARS-CoV-2 spike mediate productive infection of primary human macrophages by Suzanne Pickering, Harry Wilson, Enrico Bravo, Marianne R. Perera, Jeffrey Seow, Carl Graham, Nathalia Almeida, Lazaros Fotopoulos, Thomas Williams, Atlanta Moitra, Helena Winstone, Tinne A. D. Nissen, Rui Pedro Galão, Luke B. Snell, Katie J. Doores, Michael H. Malim, Stuart J. D. Neil

“…Using a panel of anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) we performed a detailed assessment of antibody-mediated infection of monocytes/macrophages. mAbs with the most consistent potential to mediate infection were those targeting a conserved region of the receptor binding domain (RBD; group 1/class 4). Infection was closely related to the neutralising concentration of the mAbs, with peak infection occurring below the IC50, while pre-treating cells with remdesivir or FcγRI-blocking antibodies inhibited infection. …”
