Focused screening on target-prioritized compound sets can be an efficient alternative to high throughput screening (HTS). For most biomolecular targets, compound prioritization models depend on prior screening data or a target structure. For phenotypic or multi-protein pathway targets, it may not be clear which public assay records provide relevant data.

In clinical diagnostics, such enrichment may enable detection of trace proteins that serve as biomarkers of disease. Affinity-based approaches, such as immunoaffinity pulldown, are widely used to enrich trace proteins, but this strategy relies on the availability and performance of antibodies that act on all proteoforms in an unbiased manner.

This shift facilitates production of the key anti-tumor cytokine interferon (IFN)-γ; however, an associated loss of mitochondrial efficiency in effector T cells ultimately limits anti-tumor immunity. Memory phenotype (MP) T cells are a newly recognized subset that arises through homeostatic activation signals following hematopoietic transplantation.

Histological and genetic analysis have confirmed the secretory epithelial of the fallopian tube (FT) as a major site of origin of HGSOC. Although there have been significant strides in our understanding of this disease, early stage detection and diagnosis are still rare.

Despite its wide-ranging applications, the use of SCPW cavities to study various van der Waals 2D materials has been relatively unexplored. The resonant modes of the SCPW cavity exquisitely sense the dielectric environment.
