The IR spectra of isoflurane + dimethyl ether mixtures dissolved in liquid Kr are registered at T ~118-160 K. The results obtained at a wide range of relative concentrations suggest the formation of complexes stabilized by non-covalent interactions of H-bond type. Large excess of DME and low temperature favor trimer formation stabilized by interactions between two DME moieties and both CH groups of isoflurane predominantly. Estimations based on ab initio calculation of spectroscopic and thermodynamic parameters confirm the experimental findings.

Adeno-associated viruses (AAV) have significant potential as vaccine carriers due to their excellent biosafety and efficient antigen gene delivery. However, most AAV vaccines show limited capacity to transduce antigen-presenting cells (APCs) following intramuscular injection which may cause inadequate cellular immune responses and undesired side effects due to transducing other tissues or cells. Herein, we developed a soluble microneedle patch for targeting the AAV vaccines to the epidermal and dermal APCs.

OX40, a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily, is expressed on the surface of activated T cells. Upon interaction with its cognate ligand, OX40L, OX40 transmits costimulatory signals to antigen-primed T cells, promoting their activation, differentiation, and survivalprocesses essential for the establishment of adaptive immunity. Although the OX40-OX40L interaction has been extensively studied in the context of disease treatment, developing a substitute for the naturally expressed membrane-bound OX40L, particularly a multimerized OX40L trimers, that effectively regulates OX40-driven T cell responses remains a significant challenge.

The soft nature of Metal-Organic Frameworks (MOFs) sets them apart from other non-synthetic porous materials. Their flexibility allows the framework components to rearrange in response to environmental changes, leading to different states and properties. The work extends this concept to titanium frameworks, demonstrating control over charge transport in porous molecular crystals.

Coronaviruses continue to disrupt health and economic productivity worldwide. Porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV) is a devastating swine disease and SARS-CoV-2 is the latest coronavirus to infect the human population. Both viruses display a similar spike protein on the surface that is a target of vaccine development.

The Dps protein is the major DNA-binding protein of prokaryotes, which protects DNA during starvation by forming a crystalline complex. The structure of such an intracellular DNA-Dps complex is still unknown. However, the phenomenon of a decrease in the size of the Dps protein from 90 Å to 69-75 Å during the formation of a complex with DNA has been repeatedly observed, and no explanation has been given.
