Digitization of BCIS bulletins and the ISC quest to verify pre-digital earthquakes by Di Giacomo, Domenico, Storchak, Dmitry A.

“…Unfortunately, BCIS bulletins have not been digitised in a systematic way. We show that during the period going from the mid-1950s up to 1963 the BCIS is a unique source of station data that allowed us to verify thousands of earthquakes worldwide and significantly expand the global record of seismicity in those years. …”

The Rise of Pluripotent Stem Cell-Derived Glia Models of Neuroinflammation by Srishti Kala, Andrew G. Strutz, Moriah E. Katt

“…Unfortunately, the translation of findings from non-human models has left much to be desired. This review systematically discusses the role of human pluripotent stem cell (hPSC)-derived glia and supporting cells within the CNS, including astrocytes, microglia, oligodendrocyte precursor cells, pericytes, and endothelial cells, to describe the state of the field and hope for future discoveries. hPSC-derived cells offer an expanded potential to study the pathobiology of neuroinflammation and immunomodulatory cascades that impact disease progression. …”

Practical solutions for overcoming artificial disulfide scrambling in the non-reduced peptide mapping characterization of monoclonal antibodies by Andrew Kleinberg, Yuan Mao, Ning Li
