New bispecific antibody exploits immune receptor proximity to control autoimmunity

Chinese Academy of Sciences Headquarters
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Researchers from the Institute of Biophysics of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Grossman School of Medicine at New York University, and the School of Medicine at Zhejiang University have systematically demonstrated that LAG-3 inhibits T cell activity by positioning itself in close proximity to the T cell receptor (TCR) complex, rather than by simply binding to a ligand.

Topological spin textures from a very simple photonic crystal slab

Light Publishing Center, Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics And Physics, CAS
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Researchers have discovered a novel method to generate topological optical textures using a simple periodic photonic crystal slab. This breakthrough, published in Physical Review Letters, leverages Bound States in the Continuum (BICs) to create these textures in free momentum space without the need for precise alignment, offering a robust and scalable platform for next-generation information carriers.
