Theoretical Evidence

<p>Although solvent-ligand interactions play a major role in nanocrystal synthesis, dispersion formulation and assembly, there is currently no direct method to study this. Here we examine the broadening of <sup>1</sup>H NMR resonances associated with bound ligands, and turn this poorly understood descriptor into a tool to assess solvent-ligand interactions. We show that the line broadening has both a homogeneous and a heterogeneous component. The former is nanocrystal-size dependent and the latter results from solvent-ligand interactions. Our model is supported by experimental and theoretical evidence that correlates broad NMR lines with poor ligand solvation. This correlation is found across a wide range of solvents, extending from water to hexane, for both hydrophobic and hydrophilic ligand types, and for a multitude of oxide, sulfide and selenide nanocrystals. Our findings thus put forward NMR line shape analysis as an indispensable tool to form, investigate and manipulate nanocolloids.</p>

Blocking Antibodies

The recent data about innate and adaptive immunity against neuroblastoma are described in the article. The era of neuroblastoma immunotherapy started since the evidence of anti-GD2 monoclonal antibodies efficiency. Nowadays monoclonal antibodies against GD2 are introduced into schemes of maintenance therapy for high-risk neuroblastoma patients. Developing of T-cells expressing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-T cells) directed to membrane antigens is the perspective of neuroblastoma immunotherapy. PD1/PD-L1 blocking antibodies as immune checkpoint inhibitors have the theoretical evidence of potential effectiveness. Application of immunotherapeutic approaches in high-risk neuroblastoma patients together with conventional multimodal therapies requires further investigation.

Ocular System

Growing experimental and theoretical evidence suggests a functional synergy in the processing of otolith and semicircular canal signals for the generation of the vestibulo-ocular reflexes (VORs). In this study we have further tested this functional interaction by quantifying the adaptive changes in the otolith-ocular system during both rotational and translational movements after surgical inactivation of the semicircular canals. For 0.1–0.5 Hz (stimuli for which there is no recovery of responses from the plugged canals), pitch and roll VOR gains recovered during earth-horizontal (but not earth-vertical) axis rotations. Corresponding changes were also observed in eye movements elicited by translational motion (0.1–5 Hz). Specifically, torsional eye movements increased during lateral motion, whereas vertical eye movements increased during fore-aft motion. The findings indicate that otolith signals can be adapted according to a compromised strategy that leads to improved gaze stabilization during motion. Because canal-plugged animals permanently lose the ability to discriminate gravitoinertial accelerations, adapted animals can use the presence of gravity through otolith-driven tilt responses to assist gaze stabilization during earth-horizontal axis rotations.
