Faculty members Jane Smith, English, and Jennifer Disney, political science, were named Distinguished Professor and Outstanding Junior Professor. The awards were presented May 5 during spring commencement.
To choose their mates, male and female vinegar flies (Drosophila melanogaster) perform a duet of stereotyped, sexually dimorphic courtship behaviors, a suite of sensory back-and-forth that offers an excellent model for studying...
Abstract: We investigate a speculative short-distance force, proposed to explain discrepancies observed between measurements of certain neutral current decays of B hadrons and their Standard Model predictions. The force derives...

PURPOSE: The B-MaP-C study investigated changes to breast cancer care that were necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Here we present a follow-up analysis of those patients commenced on bridging endocrine therapy (BrET), whilst...
A measurement of four branching-fraction ratios for three-body decays of $B$
mesons involving two open-charm hadrons in the final state is presented. Run 1
and Run 2 $pp$ collision data are used, recorded by the LHCb experiment...
Inflammation contributes to Parkinson's disease pathogenesis. We hypothesized that B lymphocytes are involved in Parkinson's disease progression. We measured antibodies to alpha-synuclein and tau in serum from patients with...
Abstract: Measurements of CP observables in B± → D(*)K± and B± → D(*)π± decays are presented, where D(∗) indicates a neutral D or D∗ meson that is an admixture of meson and anti-meson states. Decays of the D(∗) meson to the Dπ0...
Breast implant anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is a T-cell neoplasm arising around textured breast implants that was recognized recently as a distinct entity by the World Health Organization. Rarely, other types of...

Abstract: We report on the calculation of the next-to-leading order QCD corrections to the production of a tt¯ pair in association with two heavy-flavour jets. We concentrate on the di-lepton tt¯ decay channel at the LHC with s...
Abstract: A search is presented for the lepton flavour violating decay B+ → K+μ−τ+ using a sample of proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV, collected with the LHCb detector and corresponding to...
Abstract: Measurements of CP observables in B± → DK± and B± → Dπ± decays are presented, where D represents a superposition of D0 and D¯0 states. The D meson is reconstructed in the three-body final states KS0K±π∓ and KS0K∓π±....

Abstract: A measurement of CP-violating observables is performed using the decays B± → DK± and B± → Dπ±, where the D meson is reconstructed in one of the self-conjugate three-body final states KS0π+π− and KS0K+K− (commonly...
Phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K) signaling is important for the survival of numerous cell types and class IA of PI3K is specifically required for the development of B cells but not for T cell development. Here, we show that...
Abstract: A structure is observed in the B±K∓ mass spectrum in a sample of proton–proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 7, 8, and 13 TeV, collected with the LHCb detector and corresponding to a total integrated...

OCA-B (Oct coactivator from B cells) is a B-cell specific coactivator of transcription that acts in conjunction with the ubiquitously expressed activator, OCT-1 or the B cell-restricted OCT-2. OCT-1 or OCT-2 can bind an upstream...

BACKGROUND: Chronic Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection can lead to the development of chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. We hypothesized that HBV might accelerate hepatocyte ageing and investigated the...
