Resolving the structural basis of therapeutic antibody function in cancer immunotherapy with RESI by Isabelle Pachmayr, Luciano A. Masullo, Susanne C. M. Reinhardt, Jisoo Kwon, Maite Llop, Ondřej Skořepa, Sylvia Herter, Marina Bacac, Christian Klein, Ralf Jungmann

“…We discover that, while Type I mAbs promote higher-order CD20 oligomerization, Type II mAbs induce limited clustering, leading to differences in therapeutic function. Correlating RESI with functional studies for Type II antibodies with different hinge region flexibilities, we show that the oligomeric CD20 arrangement determines the Type I or Type II function. …”

Structural Damage Identification Using Novel Objective Functions and Metaheuristic Algorithms by Moeinoddin Rokhsati, Mohamad Mohamadi Dehcheshmeh, Gholamreza Ghodrati Amiri, Morteza Raissi Dehkordi

“…Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) technics have attracted vast amounts of attention among infrastructural managers for evaluating the structure''s health state and making an appropriate decision in case of emergency. The present study is aimed at proposing three novel objective functions using modal structural characteristics, including modal strain energy (MSE), generalized flexibility matrix (GFM), and mode shapes for structural damage detection. …”

Benefits of a light- intensity bout of exercise on attentional networks functioning by Enrique Sanchis-Navarro, Fernando Gabriel Luna, Juan Lupiáñez, Florentino Huertas

“…Most of previous studies that assessed the effect of an acute bout of exercise on attentional performance have generally been approached by analysing single attentional functions in isolation, thus ignoring the functioning of other attentional functions, which characterizes the real perception-action environmental conditions. …”
