Novel memory phenotype Tfh cells arise without overt antigen stimulation and are important for adaptive immune responses against viral infection See

Pathogen-induced memory Tfh cells exert a Tfh effector response during reinfection, regulating the generation of high-affinity antibodies. Here, we define novel memory-phenotype Tfh cells which are generated from naïve T cells under homeostatic conditions. These MP Tfh cells are phenotypically an...

Observation of Coherent 𝜙⁡(1020) Meson Photoproduction in Ultraperipheral PbPb Collisions at √𝑠_NN = 5.36  TeV See

The first observation of coherent 𝜙⁡(1020) meson photoproduction off heavy nuclei is presented using ultraperipheral lead-lead collisions at a center-of-mass energy per nucleon pair of 5.36 TeV. The data were collected by the CMS experiment and correspond to an integrated luminosity of ...

Hybrid modelling of heat transfer systems: Combining physics-based and data-driven approaches for improved prediction and extrapolation See

Hybrid machine learning-assisted modelling techniques have gained increasing attention recently in many engineering fields. This is due to the challenges associated with pure first-principles and data-driven models, as the former requires deep phenomenological understanding and might become infeasible to&#...
