Performance of BioFire array or QuickVue influenza A + B test versus a validation qPCR assay for detection of influenza A during a volunteer A/California/2009/H1N1 challenge study

David R McIlwain, Han Chen, Maria Apkarian, Melton Affrime, Bonnie Bock, Kenneth Kim, Nilanjan Mukherjee, Garry P Nolan, Monica M McNeal. ebi.ac.uk. February 25, 2021.

The authors compare BioFire and QuickVue tests with a study-specific qPCR comparator in selected influenza-challenge samples. Repeated matched swabs come from143 volunteers, and the two comparisons use different specimen sets. A linked correction changes the rapid-test table denominator from351 to299. These results do not establish performance in community infections, current product versions or UAP research.

Nanoscopic subcellular imaging enabled by ion beam tomography

Ahmet F Coskun, Guojun Han, Shambavi Ganesh, Shih-Yu Chen, Xavier Rovira Clavé, Stefan Harmsen, Sizun Jiang, Christian M Schürch, Yunhao Bai, Chuck Hitzman, Garry P Nolan. ebi.ac.uk. February 4, 2021.

The authors demonstrate destructive ion-beam imaging and computational reconstruction in fixed cells and selected tissue. Calibration resolution, localization precision and theoretical capability remain distinct. Nested depth slices and reconstruction-derived ground truth limit independence. The method is a research demonstration, with no clinical efficacy or UAP finding established.

ACE2 localizes to the respiratory cilia and is not increased by ACE inhibitors or ARBs

Ivan T. Lee et al.. ebi.ac.uk. October 28, 2020.

The authors localize ACE2 staining to respiratory cilia and compare receptor expression across medication groups. Small subgroups, treatment indication, age imbalance and retrospective confounding qualify the comparisons. Negative or nonsignificant results do not establish equivalence, infection protection or clinical benefit. The study reports localization and expression rather than a treatment trial.

Observable Signatures of the Ejection Speed of Interstellar Objects from their Birth Systems

Amir Siraj, Abraham Loeb. arxiv.org. October 5, 2020.

Siraj and Loeb forecast interstellar-object velocity and direction distributions from conventional stellar ejection. Their estimates distinguish 12-object velocity and 180-object angular tests of two ejection models from a separate 12-object anisotropy test. Density, size, sampling and detection assumptions remain uncertain. White-dwarf, outer-cloud and interstellar-medium alternatives are retained. Discovery forecasts and an artifact conjecture are not observations. Manuscript comments and work-level grant support do not establish government access.

Coordinated Cellular Neighborhoods Orchestrate Antitumoral Immunity at the Colorectal Cancer Invasive Front

Christian M Schürch, Salil S Bhate, Graham L Barlow, Darci J Phillips, Luca Noti, Inti Zlobec, Pauline Chu, Sarah Black, Janos Demeter, David R McIlwain, Shigemi Kinoshita, Nikolay Samusik, Yury Goltsev, Garry P Nolan. ebi.ac.uk. September 3, 2020.

The authors analyze spatial immune patterns in selected colorectal-cancer tissue. Thirty-five patients supply140 dependent tissue cores; repeated cells, regions and holdouts do not create new cohorts. Survival findings and correlation-based “communication” are exploratory. A linked correction adds Shigemi Kinoshita to the author list. No clinical efficacy or UAP finding is established.

Destruction of molecular hydrogen ice and Implications for 1I/2017 U1 (`Oumuamua)

Thiem Hoang, Abraham Loeb. arxiv.org. August 12, 2020.

Hoang and Loeb model destruction and formation of pure hydrogen ice under assumed radiation, material and cloud conditions. They challenge one proposed explanation of Oumuamua while retaining environmental exceptions; no hydrogen object is observed and no artificial origin is established.

Complete supplied eight-page manuscript; conditional hydrogen-ice model

Multimodal Analysis of Composition and Spatial Architecture in Human Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Andrew L Ji, Adam J Rubin, Kim Thrane, Sizun Jiang, David L Reynolds, Robin M Meyers, Margaret G Guo, Benson M George, Annelie Mollbrink, Joseph Bergenstråhle, Ludvig Larsson, Yunhao Bai, Bokai Zhu, Aparna Bhaduri, Jordan M Meyers, Xavier Rovira-Clavé, S Tyler Hollmig, Sumaira Z Aasi, Garry P Nolan, Joakim Lundeberg, Paul A Khavari. ebi.ac.uk. July 23, 2020.

The authors combine sequencing and imaging to describe selected squamous-cancer tissue, including a tumour-specific keratinocyte population. Cells, spots and fields depend on small patient subsets. Predicted interactions and proximity do not establish causal immune suppression. A linked correction repairs duplicated and mislabeled figure material; its unchanged-conclusions statement is attributed to the authors.

Detectability of Thermal Emission from Sub-Relativistic Objects

Thiem Hoang, Abraham Loeb. arxiv.org. July 9, 2020.

Hoang and Loeb model thermal emission from hypothetical fast objects heated by gas collisions and radiation. Natural objects can share the same heating signature. Calculated curves and dated telescope sensitivities are conditional forecasts, not detections or measured abundance. Rapid motion reduces integration time and sensitivity unless tracking is achieved. Native equation, figure-count and size-threshold differences remain unresolved. Funding is attributed at work level without a named recipient or Starshot earmark.

Activation of JUN in fibroblasts promotes pro-fibrotic programme and modulates protective immunity

Lu Cui, Shih-Yu Chen, Tristan Lerbs, Jin-Wook Lee, Pablo Domizi, Sydney Gordon, Yong-hun Kim, Garry Nolan, Paola Betancur, Gerlinde Wernig. ebi.ac.uk. June 3, 2020.

The authors report JUN-associated changes in lung fibroblasts and test mechanisms and interventions in engineered cultures and mouse models. Eleven end-stage cases and three cancer-resection controls define the human comparison. Preclinical findings, sampling biases and explicit toxicity cautions prevent claims of proven treatment benefit or safety in patients.

Multi-omic single-cell snapshots reveal multiple independent trajectories to drug tolerance in a melanoma cell line

Yapeng Su, Melissa E Ko, Hanjun Cheng, Ronghui Zhu, Min Xue, Jessica Wang, Jihoon W Lee, Luke Frankiw, Alexander Xu, Stephanie Wong, Lidia Robert, Kaitlyn Takata, Dan Yuan, Yue Lu, Sui Huang, Antoni Ribas, Raphael Levine, Garry P Nolan, Wei Wei, Sylvia K Plevritis, Guideng Li, David Baltimore, James R Heath. ebi.ac.uk. May 11, 2020.

The authors infer different routes to early drug tolerance within one cultured melanoma cell line and test selected drug combinations. The inferred barrier was not measured. Negative inhibitor assays, dependence among cell snapshots and possible normal-tissue toxicity qualify the results; clinical efficacy was not established.

Ultra-high throughput single-cell analysis of proteins and RNAs by split-pool synthesis

Maeve O’Huallachain, Felice-Alessio Bava, Mary Shen, Carolina Dallett, Sri Paladugu, Nikolay Samusik, Simon Yu, Razika Hussein, Grantland R. Hillman, Samuel Higgins, Melanie Lou, Angelica Trejo, Laura Qin, Yu Chuan Tai, Shigemi M. Kinoshita, Astraea Jager, Deval Lashkari, Yury Goltsev, Sedide Ozturk, Garry P. Nolan. ebi.ac.uk. May 7, 2020.

The authors demonstrate split-pool barcoding for protein and targeted RNA measurements in cell lines, human blood-cell material and mouse cells. Large theoretical barcode capacity is distinct from measured event recovery. Uneven RNA detection, cell losses, exclusions, doublets and source discrepancies limit interpretation; no clinical or UAP validation follows.

Functional comparison of PBMCs isolated by Cell Preparation Tubes (CPT) vs. Lymphoprep Tubes

Han Chen, Christian M Schürch, Kevin Noble, Kenneth Kim, Peter O Krutzik, Erika O’Donnell, Jason Vander Tuig, Garry P Nolan, David R McIlwain. ebi.ac.uk. March 30, 2020.

A paired laboratory comparison uses three donors, three operators and eighteen processing aliquots to compare CPT and Lymphoprep methods. Differences in collection and centrifugation form part of the method packages. Nonsignificant results do not establish equivalence. Tables contain endpoint exceptions to broad conclusions, and figure captions and antibody lists conflict. Nolan contributed design, analysis and writing; commercial affiliations and funding are specifically attributed.
