Cellular mechanisms and clinical applications for phenocopies of inborn errors of immunity: infectious susceptibility due to cytokine autoantibodies
With a growing knowledge of Inborn errors immunity (IEI), immunological profiling and genetic predisposition to IEI phenocopies have been developed in recent years. Here we summarized the correlation between various pathogen invasions, autoantibody profiles, and corresponding clinical features in the context of patients with IEI phenocopies. It has been extensively evident that patients with anti-cytokine autoantibodies underly impaired anti-pathogen immune responses and lead to broad unregulated inflammation and tissue damage. Several hypotheses of anti-cytokine autoantibodies production are summarized here, including a defective negative selection of autoreactive T cells, abnormal germinal center formation, molecular mimicry, HLA class II allele region, lack of auto-reactive lymphocyte apoptosis, and other possible hypotheses. Phenocopies of IEI associated with anti-cytokine autoantibodies are increasingly recognized as one of the causes of acquired immunodeficiency and susceptibility to certain pathogen infections, especially facing the current challenge of the COVID-19 pandemic. By investigating clinical, genetic, and pathogenesis autoantibodies profiles associated with various pathogens’ susceptibilities, we could better understand the IEI phenocopies with anti-cytokine autoantibodies, especially for those that underlie life-threatening SARS-CoV-2.</p
A congruence perspective on how human and social capital affect learning capability and innovation
Human capital and social capital are vital for sustainable development of organization, but existing studies are inadequate to explore the synergistic effect of them on organizational behaviors or organizational outcomes. The research employed multiple-source questionnaire to collect data of more than 400 R&D firms from leaders and corresponding employees in Chinese context. Bootstrapping method and response surface were used to analyze the associations between all the parameters. The results showed that: (1) in the case of the in-congruence between human capital and social capital, learning capability of R&D firms is at highest level when human capital is at low level and social capital is at high level; (2) learning capability partially mediates the impact of human capital and social capital on innovation performance; (3) environmental dynamism and environmental competitiveness have a joint moderating effect on the relationship between learning capability and innovation performance.</div
Atomistic Insight into the Lipid Nanodomains of Synaptic Vesicles
Membrane
curvature, once regarded as a passive consequence of membrane
composition and cellular architecture, has been shown to actively
modulate various properties of the cellular membrane. These changes
could also lead to segregation of the constituents of the membrane,
generating nanodomains with precise biological properties. Proteins
often linked with neurodegeneration (e.g., tau, alpha-synuclein) exhibit
an unintuitive affinity for synaptic vesicles in neurons, which are
reported to lack distinct, ordered nanodomains based on their composition.
In this study, all-atom molecular dynamics simulations are used to
study a full-scale synaptic vesicle of realistic Gaussian curvature
and its effect on the membrane dynamics and lipid nanodomain organization.
Compelling indicators of nanodomain formation, from the perspective
of composition, surface areas per lipid, order parameter, and domain
lifetime, are identified in the vesicle membrane, which are absent
in a flat bilayer of the same lipid composition. Therefore, our study
supports the idea that curvature may induce phase separation in an
otherwise fluid, disordered membrane
