Unconventional free charge in the correlated semimetal Nd2Ir2O7

Wang, K. ; Xu, Bing ; Rischau, C. W. ; Bachar, N. ; Michon, B. ; Teyssier, J. ; Qiu, Y. ; Ohtsuki, T. ; Cheng, Bing ; Armitage, N. P. ; Nakatsuji, S. ; van der Marel, D.

Nd2Ir2O7 is a correlated semimetal with the pyrochlore structure, in which competing spin–orbit coupling and electron–electron interactions are believed to induce a time- reversal symmetry-broken Weyl semimetal phase characterized by pairs of topologically protected Dirac points at the Fermi energy1,2,3,4. However, the emergent properties in these materials are far from clear, and exotic...

Implicit messages regarding unhealthy foodstuffs in Chinese television advertisements : increasing the risk of obesity

Chang, Angela ; Schulz, Peter J. ; Schirato, Tony ; Hall, Brian J.

In: International journal of environmental research and public health, 2018, vol. 15, no. 1, p. 70

Previous studies indicated that television (TV) advertising is associated with higher rates of obesity. The rate of obesity and overweight continues to rise in mainland China, bringing into question whether TV advertising to young audiences might be partly to blame. This study investigated messaging delivered through TV advertisements regarding healthy and unhealthy foodstuffs. A total of 42...

Molecularly specific detection of bacterial lipoteichoic acid for diagnosis of prosthetic joint infection of the bone

Pickett, Julie E. ; Thompson, John M. ; Sadowska, Agnieszka ; Tkaczyk, Christine ; Sellman, Bret R. ; Minola, Andrea ; Corti, Davide ; Lanzavecchia, Antonio ; Miller, Lloyd S. ; Thorek, Daniel LJ

In: Bone research, 2018, vol. 6, p. 13

Discriminating sterile inflammation from infection, especially in cases of aseptic loosening versus an actual prosthetic joint infection, is challenging and has significant treatment implications. Our goal was to evaluate a novel human monoclonal antibody (mAb) probe directed against the Gram-positive bacterial surface molecule lipoteichoic acid (LTA). Specificity and affinity were assessed in...

Removal of a subset of non-essential genes fully attenuates a highly virulent mycoplasma strain

Jores, Joerg ; Ma, Li ; Ssajjakambwe, Paul ; Schieck, Elise ; Liljander, Anne ; Chandran, Suchismita ; Stoffel, Michael H. ; Cippa, Valentina ; Arfi, Yonathan ; Assad-Garcia, Nacyra ; Falquet, Laurent ; Sirand-Pugnet, Pascal ; Blanchard, Alain ; Lartigue, Carole ; Posthaus, Horst ; Labroussaa, Fabien ; Vashee, Sanjay

Mycoplasmas are the smallest free-living organisms and cause a number of economically important diseases affecting humans, animals, insects, and plants. Here, we demonstrate that highly virulent Mycoplasma mycoides subspecies capri (Mmc) can be fully attenuated via targeted deletion of non-essential genes encoding, among others, potential virulence traits. Five genomic regions, representing...
