When cross-reactivity of a lead antibody across species is limited, antibody development programs require the generation of surrogate molecules or surrogate animal models necessary for the conduct of preclinical pharmacology and safety studies. When surrogate approaches are employed, the complexities and challenges for translation of preclinical safety and efficacy results to the clinic are undoubtedly enhanced. Because there are no currently established criteria or regulatory guidance regarding the application of surrogate approaches, a science-based strategy for translation of preclinical information to the clinic is vital for effective development of the lead antibody.

Computational tools, particularly electromagnetic (EM) solvers, are now commonplace in antenna design. While ensuring reliability, EM simulations are time-consuming, leading to high costs associated with EM-driven procedures like parametric optimization or statistical design. Various techniques have been developed to address this issue, with surrogate modeling methods garnering particular attention due to their potential advantages.

The rapid development and worldwide distribution of COVID-19 vaccines is a remarkable achievement of biomedical research and logistical implementation. However, these developments are associated with the risk of a surge of substandard and falsified (SF) vaccines, as illustrated by the 184 incidents with SF and diverted COVID-19 vaccines which have been reported during the pandemic in 48 countries, with a paucity of methods for their detection in supply chains. In this context, matrix-assisted laser desorption ionisation-time of flight (MALDI-ToF) mass spectrometry (MS) is globally available for fast and accurate analysis of bacteria in patient samples, offering a potentially accessible solution to identify SF vaccines.

Recent examples of immune responses directed against the synthetic polymer poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) have led to the development of biocompatible polymers, which are viewed as promising candidates to act as surrogate materials for use in biological applications, such as hydrophilic poly(2-oxazoline)s (POx). Despite this, the characterization of critical aspects of the immune response against these emerging materials is sparse, in part because no known monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) against this family of synthetic material have been reported. To advance the understanding of such responses, we report the successful isolation and characterization of hybridoma-derived mAbs with excellent specificity for different POx species and notable selectivity for highly branched polymer architectures over linear systems.

Although the phosphorylation of serine (S), threonine (T), and tyrosine (Y) is well-established, arginine phosphorylation (pR) has recently garnered significant attention due to its crucial role in bacteria pathogenicity and stress response. Mycolicibacterium smegmatis, a nonpathogenic surrogate of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, serves as a model for studying mycobacterial pathogenesis. A recent proteomics study identified six pR proteins in M.

Objective: In this paper, we implement and validate a set of optimization approaches that were applied on ambulance data from the Västerbotten county in Sweden collected 2018, with the objective to find the optimal placement of the ambulance stations (or stand-by positions) in Umeå, a municipality in the county with regards to median of response times for priority 1 alarms, the most urgent type of alarms (MRT1).
Methods: Here, we use data-driven approaches for optimizing the placement of ambulance stations. For a given allocation, i.
