Bad news, everyone: I did some further research on a particular folk tale, and had to conclude that the tale about a dwarven sex party was actually about a dwarven _wedding_.
In my defense, the alternative meaning of "kopulieren" is no longer in use in modern German.

Harnessing multivalency and FcγRIIB engagement to augment anti-CD27 immunotherapy - Nature Communications
CD27 is a key T-cell costimulatory receptor, but efforts to target CD27 have been limited by the poor clinical efficacy of first-generation anti-CD27 antibodies. The authors here engineer higher-valency antibodies by more effectively engaging CD27 and selectively binding to FcγRIIB, which enhance anti-tumor activity.
