Investigation into the Presence or Absence of Solid Particles Generated from Thermal Processes in the Aerosol from an Electrically Heated Tobacco Product with and without Filter El... by Teemu Kärkelä, Jean-Christophe Ebinger, Unto Tapper, Olivier Robyr, Tauno Jalanti

“…One HTP is the Electrically Heated Tobacco System (EHTS) from Philip Morris International, which heats instead of burns the tobacco material and produces significantly fewer emissions than traditional cigarettes, as extensively substantiated by independent research groups. Published studies have also confirmed the absence of solid particles in these emissions, which may be due to the filter elements between the tobacco portion and the mouthpiece in the EHTP; however, to the best of our knowledge, the role of these filters has never been investigated. …”

The Origins, Specificity, and Potential Biological Relevance of Human Anti-IgG Hinge Autoantibodies by Randall J. Brezski, David M. Knight, Robert E. Jordan

“…Detailed molecular characterizations of HAH autoantibodies suggest that they are, in some cases, distinct from natural autoantibodies that arise independent of antigenic challenge. Multiple studies have attempted to define the specificity of HAH autoantibodies, which were originally detected as binding to fragments possessing C-terminal amino acid residues exposed in either the upper or lower hinge regions of IgGs. …”

“…Statistical Analysis Used: Independent t-test was used. Results: In all three spirometric measures (forced vital capacity [FVC], forced expiratory volume in 1 s [FEV1], and peak expiratory flow rate [PEFR]), the PED participants had significantly lower FVC, FEV1 (P = 0.0005), and PEFR (P = 0.032) airflow rates than dentulous participants, and males had higher airflow rates than females. …”

Anti-correlation of LacI association and dissociation rates observed in living cells by Vinodh Kandavalli, Spartak Zikrin, Johan Elf, Daniel Jones

“…Abstract The rate at which transcription factors (TFs) bind their cognate sites has long been assumed to be limited by diffusion, and thus independent of binding site sequence. Here, we systematically test this assumption using cell-to-cell variability in gene expression as a window into the in vivo association and dissociation kinetics of the model transcription factor LacI. …”
