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.
The directed motion of species against a chemical potential gradient is a fundamental feature of living systems, underpinning processes that range from transport through cell membranes to neurotransmission. The development of...
Most organisms rely on innate immune receptors to recognize conserved molecular structures from invading microbes. Two essential innate immune receptors, RIG-I and MDA5, detect viral double-stranded RNA in the cytoplasm. The...
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...
Central nervous system (CNS) infection is a serious neurologic condition, although the etiology remains unknown in >50% of patients. We used metagenomic next-generation sequencing to detect viruses in 204 cerebrospinal fluid...
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...

Chemical purifications are critical processes across many industries, requiring 10-15% of humanity's global energy budget. Coordination cages are able to catch and release guest molecules based upon their size and shape...
Perturbations in the gut microbiome have been associated with colorectal cancer (CRC), with the colonic overabundance of Fusobacterium nucleatum shown as the most consistent marker. Despite its significance in the promotion of...
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...
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...
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...
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: 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...
Nguyen was inspired by the avant-garde style and its exposed forms for his piece, "Mecha Wave." His second-place finish comes with a $1,500 scholarship. Winthrop University student Tung Nguyen has won second place in the...

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 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...
BACKGROUND: Typhoid fever remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in Asia and Africa. The emergence of azithromycin resistance in South Asia is concerning, as azithromycin is one of the last effective oral drugs...
