Abstract: Apparatus and techniques for an integrated circuit (IC) package to automatically detect, through an input/out pin, external component parameters and parasitics. An example IC package generally includes a pin for coupling to a component external to the IC package, and at least one of a resistance detector, an inductance detector, or a capacitance detector coupled to the pin, and configured to detect at least one of a resistance, an inductance, or a capacitance, respectively, of a lumped parameter model for the component external to the IC package. The resistance detector, inductance detector, or capacitance detector may also be configured to detect parasitics associated with at least one of the component, the pin, or a connection between the component and the pin.

Abstract: A WAYNE293 LVPRO cell adapted to a serum-free medium environment, and applications thereof are provided. The human embryonic kidney cell WAYNE 293 is preserved in China General Microbiological Culture Collection Center (CGMCC) on May 24, 2021, the address is Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, No. 3, No. 1 Yard, Beichen West Road, Chaoyang District, Beijing, the postal code is 100101, and the preservation number is CGMCC No. 22348. The human embryonic kidney cell WAYNE 293 may be derived from suspension culture of HEK293 cells in a serum-free medium free of an anti-agglomeration agent, has the characteristics of short doubling time, high growth density, high virus packaging efficiency, and is an important support for industrial development in the field of cell and gene therapy.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device. The method includes: providing a substrate having at least one trench; forming a first polysilicon layer in the trench, covering a sidewall and a bottom of the trench and not fully fills the trench; annealing the first polysilicon layer; and forming a second polysilicon layer at a region of the trench where the first polysilicon layer is not filled after annealing.

Abstract: Yes-associated protein (Yap), a downstream co-activator of the Hippo pathway, is highly expressed in the Treg cell subset, and is critical to maintain its suppressive activity. Originally discovered in Drosophila melanogaster, the Hippo signaling pathway is a major regulator of cellular growth and proliferation in mammals. Loss of Yap expression in Treg cells can lead to superior anti-tumor immune responses, and thus, Yap is an important immunotherapeutic target for cancer.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method and an apparatus for application communication and a storage medium. The specific implementation scheme is: in a process of a first application in a vehicle machine needing to control a second application, the first application may send a notification message including a key-value pair to a second application through a state machine in the vehicle machine, so that when the second application receives a notification message sent by the first application through a state machine, a corresponding operation may be performed by the key-value pair in the notification message.

Abstract: The disclosure provides example block generation methods. One example method includes that when a first blockchain node is a leader, packing, by the first blockchain node, a leader-elected transaction in a transaction pool into a first block, where the leader-elected transaction records a leader proof of the first blockchain node. The leader proof records a voting state in which each of the plurality of second blockchain nodes votes on the first blockchain node, and the voting state indicates whether a vote is a positive vote or a negative vote. Sends the first block to the plurality of second blockchain nodes, so that the first blockchain node and/or the second blockchain nodes perform fork processing based on the leader proof.

Abstract: The present invention relates to compositions and methods for treating cancer by targeting the Activin signaling pathway. In certain embodiments, combining Activin blockade with immunomodulation alters regulatory T (Treg) cell-mediated immune regulation and treats cancer.

Abstract: We demonstrate herein that neuritin controls the homeostasis of regulatory T cells in an antigen dependent manner. Based on this discovery, we describe herein the application of neuritin as a therapeutic agent to manipulate antigen specific regulatory T cells in various disease settings is described. Thus manipulation of Treg cells and DCs through neuritin can be used to enhance immunotherapy of autoimmune diseases, cancer and infectious diseases, as well as enhance lymphocyte engraftment in settings of donor lymphocyte infusion, bone marrow transplant, as well as other types of transplants, and adoptive transfer.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel compositions and methods to produce 3D organ equivalents of the brain (i.e. “mini-brains”). The invention also relates to methods of using human induced pluripotent stem cells, a combination of growth and other soluble factors and gyratory shaking. Cells from healthy or diseased donors or animals can be used to allow testing different genetic backgrounds. The model can be further enhanced by using genetically modified cells, adding micro-glia or their precursors or indicator cells (e.g. with reporter genes or tracers) as well as adding endothelial cells to form a blood-brain-barrier.
