Development of a TCR-like antibody and chimeric antigen receptor against NY-ESO-1/HLA-A2 for cancer immunotherapy by Xin Liu, Yang Du, Ningyan Zhang, Zhiqiang An, Wei Xiong, Yixiang Xu, Bingnan Yin, Yuqian Huang, Junjun Chu, Changsheng Xing, Chen Qian, Tianhao Duan, Helen Y Wang, John S. Yu, Rongfu Wang

“…To mimic the feature of T-cell receptor (TCR) that recognizes the complex of major histocompatibility class I and peptide on the cell surface derived from the processed intracellular antigen, we used NY-ESO-1, a cancer-testis antigen, to develop a TCR-like fully human IgG1 antibody and its derivative, CAR-T cells, for cancer immunotherapy.Methods Human single-chain variable antibody fragment (scFv) phage library (~10∧11) was screened against HLA-A2/NY-ESO-1 (peptide 157–165) complex to obtain target-specific antibodies. …”

Polygenic prediction of human longevity on the supposition of pervasive pleiotropy by M. Reza Jabalameli, Jhih-Rong Lin, Quanwei Zhang, Zhen Wang, Joydeep Mitra, Nha Nguyen, Tina Gao, Mark Khusidman, Sanish Sathyan, Gil Atzmon, Sofiya Milman, Jan Vijg, Nir Barzilai, Zhengdong D. Zhang

“…We tracked allele frequency changes as a function of viability across different age bins and prioritized 34 variants with an immediate implication on lipid metabolism, body mass index (BMI), and cognitive performance, among other traits, revealed by PheWAS analysis in the UK Biobank. Given the highly complex and non-linear interactions between the genetic determinants of longevity, we reasoned that a composite polygenic score would approximate a substantial portion of the variance in lifespan and developed the integrated longevity genetic scores (iLGSs) for distinguishing exceptional survival. …”

A Comprehensive Study of Type I (Thermonuclear) Bursts in the New Transient SRGA J144459.2–604207 by Tao Fu, Zhaosheng Li, Yuanyue Pan, Long Ji, Yupeng Chen, Lucien Kuiper, Duncan K. Galloway, Maurizio Falanga, Renxin Xu, Xiaobo Li, Mingyu Ge, L. M. Song, Shu Zhang, Shuang-Nan Zhang

“…We found that 14 out of 60 X-ray bursts exhibited photospheric expansion, and thus we estimated the distance to the source as 10.03 ± 0.71 kpc. Combined with IXPE observations, the burst recurrence time increased from 1.55 to 8 hr as the local mass accretion rate decreased, which can be described as ${\rm{\Delta }}{T}_{{\rm{rec}}}\sim {\dot{m}}^{-0.91\pm 0.02}$ .…”
