Edible Bird's Nest treatment effects on subchondral bone and articular cartilage changes and synovial fluid proteome profiles in an osteoarthritis rabbit model by Syed Sulaiman, Sharifah Zakiah

“…The results showed different pathogenic mechanisms for both induction method. For the second part of the study, New Zealand white rabbits were chemically induced (MIA, 8 mg) and divided into four groups; (1) negative control (n=9): non-treated osteoarthritis, (2) positive control (n=15): OA + diclofenac sodium 2 mg/kg daily orally, (3) low dosage (n=15): OA + 75 mg/kg hydrolysed EBN, (4) high dosage (n=15): OA + 150 mg/kg hydrolysed EBN. …”

Effects of nnav1.5 expression modulation on mhc I antigen processing machinery and invasion potential of breast cancer cells by Din, Ahmad Hafiz Murtadha Noor

“…In summary, modulating nNav1.5 gene expression affected MHC I APM, CD274, and cell behaviour, hence can potentially improve breast cancer immunotherapies by countering tumour immune escape mechanism via rescuing MHC I. Overall, the study’s current findings support the influence of nNav1.5 on the expression regulation of immune component molecules in breast cancer.…”

Semantic-based vulnerability analysis of software by Li, Yuekang

“…Compared to AFL, FOT is extensible and new features can be introduced with significantly overhead on fuzzing efficiency Besides, with improved flexibility, the parallel fuzzing mechanism of FOT is also different from AFL. In FOT, we divide the greybox fuzzer into several different but connected components. …”

Advanced data analytics for future smart grid stability assessment by Ren, Chao

“…The main contributions through this Ph.D. research are as follows: Firstly, the temporal-adaptive data-driven methods are proposed based on optimized hybrid ensemble learning mechanism for online STVS assessment. Compared to the traditional data-driven stability methods, the proposed methods can balance the tradeoff between the stability accuracy and speed and select the most suitable Pareto set. …”

Improving the diagnostic yield of whole genome sequencing: neurodevelopmental and epilepsy disorders by Hashim, M

“…</p> <p>Moreover, using a combinatorial genomic approach led to the discovery of various novel disease-causing genes and potential associations to disease (KMT2E, PPP2R2A, PLPPR5, MGRN1, ECPAS), thus providing molecular diagnosis to patients, a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanism of the observed phenotypes, and directions for future functional studies. …”

Structural and functional characterisation of the collagen binding domain of fibronectin by Millard, CJ

“…The larger fragments show far more potency in stimulating fibroblast migration, with 8Fn1-9Fn1 (one IGD motif) 104 times more potent than the IGD peptide, and the full gelatin binding domain (two IGD motifs) 106 times more potent than the 8Fn1-9Fn1. Potential mechanisms for this enormous enhancement of the IGD potency in different contexts are discussed. …”
