The pET series of expression plasmids are widely used for recombinant protein production in Escherichia coli. The genetic modules controlling transcription and translation in these plasmids were first described in the 1980s and have not changed since. Herein we report design flaws in these genetic modules. We present improved designs and demonstrate that, when incorporated into pET28a, they support increases in protein production. The improved designs are applicable to most of the 103 vectors in the pET series and can be easily implemented.

Background: Breastfeeding is vital for the health and well-being of both mothers and infants, and it is crucial to create supportive environments that promote and maintain breastfeeding practices.
Objective: The objective of this paper was to describe the development of a breastfeeding-friendly app called "bfGPS" (HKU TALIC), which provides comprehensive territory-wide information on breastfeeding facilities in Hong Kong, with the goal of fostering a breastfeeding-friendly community.
Methods: The development of bfGPS can be categorized into three phases, which are (1) planning, prototype development, and preimplementation evaluation; (2) implementation and updates; and (3) usability evaluation.

Current therapies suppress growth-promoting biochemical signals, ablate cells expressing tumor-associated antigens, or promote adaptive immunity to tumor neoantigens. However, these approaches are limited by toxicity to normal cells using the same signaling pathways or expressing the same antigens, or by the low frequency of neoantigens in most carcinomas.

Currently, the complexity of these effector-target interactions and the donor-to-donor variations in NK cell receptor (NKR) repertoire require functional assays to be performed experimentally for each manufactured CAR-NK cell product and target combination. Here, we developed a computational mechanistic multiscale model which considers heterogenous expression of CARs, NKRs, adhesion receptors and their cognate ligands, signal transduction, and NK cell-target cell population kinetics.
