Abstract: Transcription factors (TFs) represent a major class of therapeutic targets for the treatment of human diseases including cancer. Although the biological function and even crystal structure of many TFs have been clearly elucidated, there is still no viable approach to target the majority of TFs, thus rendering them undruggable for decades. PROTACs (PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras) have emerged as a powerful tool for the pharmaceutical development since the effect of PROTACs largely relies on engineered protein-protein interaction to aid the degradation of targets by the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). The present disclosure provides a DNA-PROTAC platform for targeted degraders of individual TFs of interest. These DNA based Transcription Factor targetting PROTACS (or “TF-PROTACS”) may provide specificity to TF degradation based on the conserved DNA-binding motifs of respective TFs.

Abstract: Disclosed are techniques for communication. In an aspect, a position estimation entity (e.g., gNB, LMF, location server, UE, etc.) determines a paired downlink positioning reference signal (DL-PRS) resource configuration for a first DL-PRS and a second DL-PRS that is offset in time from the first DL-PRS by a time offset, the first and second DL-PRSs associated with the same transmission source. The position estimation entity transmits the paired DL-PRS resource configuration to a UE, which performs measurements in accordance with the paired DL-PRS resource configuration.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a kit and method for constructing a long-acting depression animal model. The present disclosure adopts Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) (or Mycobacterium bovis (M bovis)) and low-dose pertussis toxin (PTX) for combined induction, which greatly reduces modeling cost. A mouse model constructed by the method of the present disclosure can clearly distinguish a time interval of pathological behaviors from a time interval of depression-like behaviors and has prominent face validity and predictive validity. The method of the present disclosure is simple and convenient and does not require a large number of tedious daily operations as the depression model construction by chronic unpredictable stress, chronic restraint stress, social defeat, mother-child separation, or the like. The mouse model of the present disclosure can provide a valuable long-term intervention window for research on antidepressant therapy.

The coordinator module includes a registration bridge that identifies an alternate coordinator module and alternate pod to process the transaction response if the transaction contexts do not match.

Abstract: A user equipment (UE) may report capabilities pertaining to UE feedback processing, such as a number of simultaneous feedback reports that can be processed and reported by the UE for various types of feedback. For example, UE feedback processing capability may depend on channel state information (CSI) processing units (CPUs) available to the UE for feedback processing operations (e. g., for performing channel measurements, processing feedback, generating a feedback report, etc.). A UE may report feedback processing capability separately for periodic feedback reporting and for aperiodic feedback reporting, for different types of feedback reporting (e. g., for CSI reporting, for beam management reporting, etc.), etc. As such, a UE may more efficiently report capabilities pertaining to UE feedback processing, and a base station may more efficiently configure UE feedback reporting according to UE feedback processing capability.
