Nuclear Effects and CP Sensitivity at DUNE by Srishti Nagu, Jaydip Singh, Jyotsna Singh, R. B. Singh

“…To increase the statistics, neutrino-oscillation experiments use heavy nuclear targets like argon (Z=18). The use of these nuclear targets introduces nuclear effects that severely impact the neutrino energy reconstruction which in turn poses influence in the determination of neutrino-oscillation parameters. …”

Effects of Acyclovir and IVIG on Behavioral Outcomes after HSV1 CNS Infection by Chandran Ramakrishna, Mari S. Golub, Abby Chiang, Teresa Hong, Markus Kalkum, Edouard M. Cantin

“…Female, but not male, PBS-treated mice were cognitively impaired, and unexpectedly, ACV was protective, while the inclusion of IVIG surprisingly antagonized ACV’s beneficial effects. Distinct serum proteomic profiles were observed for male and female mice, and the antagonistic effects of ACV and IVIG on behavior were paralleled by similar changes in the serum proteome of ACV- and ACV + IVIG-treated mice. …”

Spatial tumor immune heterogeneity facilitates subtype co-existence and therapy response in pancreatic cancer by Lukas Klein, Mengyu Tu, Niklas Krebs, Laura Urbach, Daniela Grimm, Muhammad Umair Latif, Frederike Penz, Anna Blandau, Xueyan Wu, Rebecca Diya Samuel, Stefan Küffer, Florian Wegwitz, Nathan Chan, Kazeera Aliar, Foram Vyas, Uday Kishore, Elisabeth Hessmann, Andreas Trumpp, Elisa Espinet, Argyris Papantonis, Rama Khokha, Volker Ellenrieder, Barbara T. Grünwald, Shiv K. Singh

“…ATAC-, ChIP-, and RNA-seq analyses reveal that JUNB/AP1- and HDAC-mediated epigenetic programs repress pro-inflammatory signatures in tumor cells, antagonizing cJUN/AP1 signaling, favoring a therapy-responsive classical neoplastic state. …”

The global RNA-binding protein RbpB is a regulator of polysaccharide utilization in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron by Ann-Sophie Rüttiger, Daniel Ryan, Luisella Spiga, Vanessa Lamm-Schmidt, Gianluca Prezza, Sarah Reichardt, Madison Langford, Lars Barquist, Franziska Faber, Wenhan Zhu, Alexander J. Westermann

“…Through a series of in-vitro and in-vivo assays, we reveal that FopS sRNAs repress the translation of SusC-like glycan transporters when substrates are limited—an effect antagonized by RbpB. Ablation of RbpB in Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron compromises colonization in the mouse gut in a diet-dependent manner. …”
