Considerations on the Human Body in European Art from Ancient Times to Present Day by Liviu Nedelcu

“…In this approach, we started from the finding, which has actually marked many years of my creation, that the human body may show itself in a sacred and profane hypostasis; as a result, this study was structured to account for the two dimensions. Along the documentation and drafting, I realized that, in fact, the human body can only be sacred even in its nude hypostasis. …”

Nipocalimab, an immunoselective FcRn blocker that lowers IgG and has unique molecular properties by Nilufer P. Seth, Rui Xu, Matthew DuPrie, Amit Choudhury, Samuel Sihapong, Steven Tyler, James Meador, William Avery, Edward Cochran, Thomas Daly, Julia Brown, Laura Rutitzky, Lynn Markowitz, Sujatha Kumar, Traymon Beavers, Sayak Bhattacharya, Hsin Chen, Viraj Parge, Karen Price, Yang Wang, Siddharth Sukumaran, Yvonne Pao, Katie Abouzahr, Fiona Elwood, Jay Duffner, Sucharita Roy, Pushpa Narayanaswami, Jonathan J. Hubbard, Leona E. Ling

“…Here, we present the molecular, cellular, and nonclinical characteristics of nipocalimab that support the reported clinical pharmacology and potential clinical application in IgG-driven, autoantibody- and alloantibody-mediated diseases. The crystal structure of the nipocalimab antigen binding fragment (Fab)/FcRn complex reveals its binding to a unique epitope on the IgG binding site of FcRn that supports the observed pH-independent high-binding affinity to FcRn. …”

Cu‐Co Dual Sites Tandem Synergistic Effect Boosting Neutral Low Concentration Nitrate Electroreduction to Ammonia by Wenhao Yang, Ziwei Chang, Xu Yu, Ping Wu, Ruxiang Shen, Lianzhou Wang, Xiangzhi Cui, Jianlin Shi

“…The designed Cu‐CoP catalyst exhibits an ammonia yield of 7.65 mg h−1 cm−2 and a Faraday efficiency of 85.1% at −1.0 V under neutral low‐concentration nitrate (10 m M), which is the highest ammonia yield in the reported data. In situ characterization and theoretical calculations confirm the tandem synergistic effect, in which the Cu site favors the adsorption and activation of NO3− to form NO2−, and concurrently modulates the electronic structure of the Co site with optimized Hads adsorption resulting in the significantly enhanced NO3−RR at neutral low concentration nitrate.…”
