Short antigenic peptides bound in the groove of class I major histocompatibility complex molecules enable T cells to detect intracellular pathogens. It has been assumed that structural features of the class I molecule alone select which peptides are bound. It is now demonstrated that a complex polymorphism in one of the major histocompatibility complex-encoded putative peptide-transporter genes is associated with an altered spectrum of bound peptides.

A visible-light-mediated chlorotrifluoromethylation catalyzed by a copper-based photo-redox catalyst of internal alkenes is reported. The reaction proceeds with complete regioselectivity under mild reaction conditions using commercially available FCSOCl as both the trifluoromethyl and chlorine source, leading to the synthesis of added-value chemicals with atom-economy. A vast array of internal alkenes were functionalized in decent to good yields, highlighting a great tolerance to various functional groups.

Background: The specific and non-specific toxicities of cryoprotective agents (CPAs) for semen or spermatozoa cryopreservation/vitrification (SC/SV) remain challenges to the success of assisted reproductive technologies.
Objective: We searched for and integrated the physicochemical and toxicological characteristics of small-molecule CPAs as well as curated the information of all extenders reported for carnivores to provide a foundation for new research avenues and computational cryobiology.
Methods: The PubMed database was systematically searched for CPAs reported in SC/SV of carnivores from 1964 to 2024.

Due to their self-renewal and differentiation capabilities, pluripotent stem cells hold immense potential for advancing our understanding of human disease and developing cell-based or pharmacological interventions. Realizing this potential, however, requires a thorough understanding of the basal cellular mechanisms which occur during differentiation. Lipids are critical molecules that define the morphological, biochemical, and functional role of cells.

Objectives: Prior studies have reported low or absent major HLA class I expression on respiratory papilloma cells, conflicting with the recent clinical success of immunotherapy designed to activate HPV-specific T cells in patients with recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP). We aimed to determine major human leukocyte antigen (HLA) class I expression on respiratory papilloma cells in untreated RRP clinical specimens using contemporary techniques.
Methods: Formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded RRP sections were subjected to signal-amplified multispectral immunofluorescence using the OPAL system to determine major and minor HLA class I expression, and digitally scanned slides were analyzed using digital pathology software.
