Article Abstract
Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) is presumed to be a heterogenous group of disorders with potentially separate etiologies. Memory B cell subsets, characterized by CD27 expression, have been suggested as a means to subclassify CVID patients. 53 patients were subdivided based on percentages of switched memory B cells (CD27+IgM-IgD-): 33 were placed in Group I (<0.4% CD27+IgM-IgD- cells/peripheral lymphocytes) and 20 in Group II (>0.4%). The median serum IgG for subjects in Group I was lower at 145 mg/dl vs. 329.5 mg/dl for Group II (P=0.038). Post-pneumococcal vaccine IgG response was tested; the median protective response was 0.5 serotypes for Group I and 3 serotypes for Group II (P=0.041). Autoimmune and granulomatous disease was found in higher rates in Group I. CVID patients with decreased percentages of switched memory B cells have lower levels of serum IgG, less effective pneumococcal vaccine antibody responses, and higher rates of autoimmune and granulomatous disease.

We demonstrate a novel approach to controlling and stabilizing magnetic skyrmions in ultrathin multilayer nanostructures through spatially engineered magnetostatic fields generated by ferromagnetic nanorings. Using analytical modeling and micromagnetic simulations, we show that the stray fields from a Co/Pd ferromagnetic ring with out-of-plane magnetic anisotropy significantly enhance the Néel-type skyrmion stability in an Ir/Co/Pt nanodot, even stabilizing the skyrmion in the absence of Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions. We demonstrate precise control over the skyrmion size and stability.

Hybrid systems (HSs) of quantum dots (QDs) and molecular photoswitches exhibit luminescence switching of QDs based on energy transfer and have garnered attention for their potential applications in sensors and optical memories. In HSs, the chemical composition, such as the number of attached ligands, is inherently distributed, posing challenges for extracting the energy transfer process from the QDs to a single acceptor molecule. The stochastic model, assuming a Poisson distribution for the number of acceptors, proves to be an effective approach for extracting the process.

Memtransistors are active analog memory devices utilizing ionic memristive materials as channel layers. Since their introduction, the term "memtransistor" has widely been adopted for transistors exhibiting nonvolatile memory characteristics. Currently, memtransistor devices possessing both transistor on/off functionality and nonvolatile memory characteristics include ferroelectric field-effect transistors (FeFETs) and charge-trap flash (floating gate), yet ionic memtransistors have not matched their performance.

In the hippocampal formation, cholinergic modulation from the medial septum/diagonal band of Broca (MSDB) is known to correlate with the speed of an animal's movements at sub-second timescales and also supports spatial memory formation. Yet, the extent to which sub-second cholinergic dynamics, if at all, align with transient behavioral and cognitive states supporting the encoding of novel spatial information remains unknown. In this study, we used fiber photometry to record the temporal dynamics in the population activity of septo-hippocampal cholinergic neurons at sub-second resolution during a hippocampus-dependent object location memory task using ChAT-Cre mice of both sexes.

Multistate ferroelectric polarization holds promise for realizing high-density nonvolatile memory devices, but so far is restricted to a few traditional ferroelectrics. Here, we show that nanoconfined two-dimensional (2D) ferroelectric ice can achieve phase-dependent multistate polarization through extensive classical and ab initio molecular dynamics simulations. An in-plane electric field is found to induce the reversible transition between a low-polarization AA-stacked hexagonal ice phase and an unprecedented high-polarization AB-stacked ice phase, resulting in a four-state ferroelectric switching pathway.
