A preliminary study on the impact of UCK2 knockdown in DLD-1 colorectal cells treated with DHODH inhibitor by Mohamad Fairus Abdul Kadir, Puteri Shafinaz Abdul-Rahman, Nellore, Kavitha, Shatrah Othman

“…In this study, we aim to further sensitize cells to the effects of BQR by knocking down the UCK2 activity. In DLD-1 UCK2 knockdown cells, no change in the sensitivity of cells to BQR was observed. …”

Effect of nutrient and density against the susceptibility status of Aedes aegypti and aedes albopictus towards diagnostic dose of malathion and permethrin by Salinah Abdul Farouk, Zairi Jaal, Siti Nasuha Hamzah

“…However, the effect of nutrient and density factor of the different Aedes species significantly impacted their susceptibility to malathion and permethrin. The time required to knock down 50% (KT₅₀) of Ae. albopictus mosquitoes against the diagnostic dose of malathion as well as permethrin were relatively delayed compared to the values obtained by Ae. aegypti mosquitoes even though the environmental conditions were the same (p<0.05).…”

Formulation of entomopathogen Metarhizium anisopliae var. anisopliae bait to control subterranean termite, Coptotermes curvignathus holmgren (Blattodea: Rhinotermitidae) by Nyam, Vei Ting, Bong, Joseph Choon Fah, Ong, Kian Huat, King, Patricia Jie Hung

“…The use of bait is becoming a favorable approach that acts as edible ‘smart missiles’ to knock out the whole population of termites. To execute potent baiting in the field, effective bait matrix that able to preserve the effectiveness of the entomopathogenic agents impregnated and avoid the repellence of the targeted insect is sought-after in designing baits and this study aimed to formulate an entomopathogenic fungus Metarhizium anisopliae var. anisopliae based bait. …”

Elucidating the role of the SATB1 gene in breast cancer carcinogenesis in the presence or absence of tocotrienol-rich fraction : evidence from a syngeneic mouse model of breast can... by Sitti Rahma Abdul Hafid, Ammu Kutty Radhakrishnan

“…The expression of the SATB1 gene in the 4T1 murine BC cells was partially knocked down (SATB1-4T1) using the short hairpin RNA (shRNA) technology and these cells were injected into the mammary pads of mice. …”
