ImmunoPET: Concept, Design, and Applications.

ABSTRACT: Immuno-positron emission tomography (immunoPET) is a paradigm-shifting molecular imaging modality combining the superior targeting specificity of monoclonal antibody (mAb) and the inherent sensitivity of PET technique. A variety of radionuclides and mAbs have been exploited to develop immunoPET probes, which has been driven by the development and optimization of radiochemistry and conjugation strategies. In addition, tumor-targeting vectors with a short circulation time (e.g., Nanobody) or with an enhanced binding affinity (e.g., bispecific antibody) are being used to design novel immunoPET probes. Accordingly, several immunoPET probes, such as ⁸⁹Zr-Df-pertuzumab and ⁸⁹Zr-atezolizumab, have been successfully translated for clinical use. By noninvasively and dynamically revealing the expression of heterogeneous tumor antigens, immunoPET imaging is gradually changing the theranostic landscape of several types of malignancies. ImmunoPET is the method of choice for imaging specific tumor markers, immune cells, immune checkpoints, and inflammatory processes. Furthermore, the integration of immunoPET imaging in antibody drug development is of substantial significance because it provides pivotal information regarding antibody targeting abilities and distribution profiles. Herein, we present the latest immunoPET imaging strategies and their preclinical and clinical applications. We also emphasize current conjugation strategies that can be leveraged to develop next-generation immunoPET probes. Lastly, we discuss practical considerations to tune the development and translation of immunoPET imaging strategies.

Magnetic Hyperbolic Metasurface: Concept, Design, and Applications.

Project description:A fundamental cornerstone in nanophotonics is the ability to achieve hyperbolic dispersion of surface plasmons, which shows excellent potentials in many unique applications, such as near-field heat transport, planar hyperlens, strongly enhanced spontaneous emission, and so forth. The hyperbolic metasurfaces with such an ability, however, are currently restricted to electric hyperbolic metasurface paradigm, and realization of magnetic hyperbolic metasurfaces remains elusive despite the importance of manipulating magnetic surface plasmons (MSPs) at subwavelength scale. Here, magnetic hyperbolic metasurfaces are proposed and designed, on which diffraction-free propagation, anomalous diffraction, negative refraction, and frequency-dependent strong spatial distributions of the MSPs in the hyperbolic regime are experimentally observed at microwave frequencies. The findings can be applied to manipulate MSPs and design planarized devices for near-field focusing, imaging, and spatial multiplexers. This concept is also generalizable to terahertz and optical frequencies and inspires novel quantum optical apparatuses with strong magnetic light-matter interactions.

ImmunoPET Targeting Receptor Tyrosine Kinase: Clinical Applications.

Project description:Receptor tyrosine kinases, or RTKs, are one large family of cell surface receptors involved in signal transduction, which represent an integral part of the signaling pathways. They play a crucial role in most important cellular processes, starting with the cell cycle, proliferation and differentiation, as well as cell migration, metabolism and survival. The introduction of ImmunoPET evaluating the expression of RTKs by specific monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) or antibody fragments is regarded as a promising tool for imaging treatment efficacy and developing anticancer therapeutics. Our review focuses mainly on the current clinical research regarding ImmunoPET targeting RTKs, with particular interest in the epidermal growth factor family, or HER family, and vascular endothelial-derived growth factor/receptor.

Applications of the Pharmacophore Concept in Natural Product inspired Drug Design.

Project description:Pharmacophore-based techniques are nowadays an important part of many computer-aided drug design workflows and have been successfully applied for tasks such as virtual screening, lead optimization and de novo design. Natural products, on the other hand, can serve as a valuable source for unconventional molecular scaffolds that stimulate ideas for novel lead compounds in a more diverse chemical space that does not follow the rules of traditional medicinal chemistry. The first part of this review provides a brief introduction to the pharmacophore concept, the methods for pharmacophore model generation, and their applications. The second, concluding part, presents examples for recent, pharmacophore method related research in the field of natural product chemistry. The selected examples show, that pharmacophore-based methods which get mainly applied on synthetic drug-like molecules work equally well in the realm of natural products and thus can serve as a valuable tool for researchers in the field of natural product inspired drug design.

Design principles and applications of a CRISPR activation system for facile genetic overexpression in Candida albicans

Project description:Here, we sought to assess target-specificity and detect potential off-target effects of a novel CRISPR activation (CRISPRa) system in Candida albicans. We used the CRISPRa system to target ALS1 for overexpression, and we also created a CRISPRa strain that does not target any gene for overexpression for use as a control. Differential gene expression analysis between the CRISPRa-ALS1 strain and the non-targeting strain allowed us to determine if ALS1 was the only gene overexpressed by our CRISPRa-ALS1 strain, or if the system non-specifically targeted other genes as well.

Random Forest of Perfect Trees: Concept, Performance, Applications, and Perspectives.

Project description:MotivationThe principle of Breiman's random forest (RF) is to build and assemble complementary classification trees in a way that maximizes their variability. We propose a new type of random forest that disobeys Breiman's principles and involves building trees with no classification errors in very large quantities. We used a new type of decision tree that uses a neuron at each node as well as an in-innovative half Christmas tree structure. With these new RFs, we developed a score, based on a family of ten new statistical information criteria, called Nguyen information criteria (NICs), to evaluate the predictive qualities of features in three dimensions.ResultsThe first NIC allowed the Akaike information criterion to be minimized more quickly than data obtained with the Gini index when the features were introduced in a logistic regression model. The selected features based on the NICScore showed a slight advantage compared to the support vector machines-recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) method. We demonstrate that the inclusion of artificial neurons in tree nodes allows a large number of classifiers in the same node to be taken into account simultaneously and results in perfect trees without classification errors.Availability and implementationThe methods used to build the perfect trees in this article were implemented in the "ROP" R package, archived at https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/ROP/index.html.Supplementary informationSupplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.

A Dissipative Connector for CLT Buildings: Concept, Design and Testing.

Project description:This paper deals with the conception and characterization of an innovative connection for cross-laminated timber (CLT) panels. The connection is designed to provide an adequate level of dissipative capacity to CLT structures also when realized with large horizontal panels and therefore prone to fragile shear sliding failure. The connector, named X-bracket, has been theorized and designed by means of numerical parametric analyses. Furthermore, its cyclic behavior has been verified with experimental tests and compared to that of traditional connectors. Numerical simulations of cyclic tests of different CLT walls anchored to the foundation with X-brackets were also performed to assess their improved seismic performances. Finally, the analysis of the response of a 6 m × 3 m squat wall demonstrates that the developed connection provides good ductility and dissipation capacities also to shear walls realized with a single CLT panel.

Development of the Biological Experimental Design Concept Inventory (BEDCI).

Project description:Interest in student conception of experimentation inspired the development of a fully validated 14-question inventory on experimental design in biology (BEDCI) by following established best practices in concept inventory (CI) design. This CI can be used to diagnose specific examples of non-expert-like thinking in students and to evaluate the success of teaching strategies that target conceptual changes. We used BEDCI to diagnose non-expert-like student thinking in experimental design at the pre- and posttest stage in five courses (total n = 580 students) at a large research university in western Canada. Calculated difficulty and discrimination metrics indicated that BEDCI questions are able to effectively capture learning changes at the undergraduate level. A high correlation (r = 0.84) between responses by students in similar courses and at the same stage of their academic career, also suggests that the test is reliable. Students showed significant positive learning changes by the posttest stage, but some non-expert-like responses were widespread and persistent. BEDCI is a reliable and valid diagnostic tool that can be used in a variety of life sciences disciplines.

A novel integrated MADM method for design concept evaluation.

Project description:Design concept evaluation plays a significant role in new product development. Rough set based methods are regarded as effective evaluation techniques when facing a vague and uncertain environment and are widely used in product research and development. This paper proposed an improved rough-TOPSIS method, which aims to reduce the imprecision of design concept evaluation in two ways. First, the expert group for design concept evaluation is classified into three clusters: designers, manufacturers, and customers. The cluster weight is determined by roles in the assessment using a Multiplicative Analytic Hierarchy Process method. Second, the raw information collection method is improved with a 3-step process, and both design values and expert linguistic preferences are integrated into the rough decision matrix. The alternatives are then ranked with a rough-TOPSIS method with entropy criteria weight. A practical example is shown to demonstrate the method's viability. The findings suggest that the proposed decision-making process is effective in product concept design evaluation.

A proof of concept gene-activated titanium surface for oral implantology applications.

Project description:Dental implants are very successful medical devices, yet implant failures do occur due to biological and mechanical complications. Peri-implantitis is one such biological complication that is primarily caused by bacteria and their products at the implant soft tissue interface. Bacterial infiltration can be prevented by the formation of a reliable soft tissue seal encircling dental implants. Platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) has significant chemotactic and proliferative effects on various mesenchymal cell types, including fibroblasts, and therefore can be an effective molecule to enhance the peri-implant soft tissue seal. To overcome the limitations of the recombinant protein form of PDGF-BB, such as cost and the need for supraphysiological doses, we have developed and characterized a titanium surface that is rendered bioactive by coating it with polyethylenimine-plasmid DNA (pDNA) nanoplexes in the presence of sucrose. Human embryonic kidney 293T (HEK293T) cells and human primary gingival fibroblasts (GFs) were successfully transfected in culture with enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP)-encoding pDNA or platelet-derived growth factor subunit B (PDGFB)-encoding pDNA loaded into nanoplexes and coated onto titanium disks in a dose-dependent manner. GFs were shown to secrete PDGF-BB for at least 7 days after transfection and displayed both minimal viability loss and increased integrin-α2 expression 4 days posttransfection.
