Molecular dynamics simulations of the lyotropic reverse hexagonal (HII) of Guerbet branched-chain β-d-glucoside by Nguan, H., Ahmadi, S., Hashim, Rauzah

“…The xy-plane displacement of the 'bound' water was higher than that for the 'free' water at times longer than 200 ps, as a consequence of the exchange of water molecules between the two regions. Based on our findings, we proposed an alternative explanation to the observed spatial heterogeneity in the HII phase from probe diffusion by Penaloza et al. …”

Synthesis and Electro-Optical investigation of Fluorine substituted Banana-Shaped Liquid Crystals Monomers by Lutfor Rahman

“…Six novel bent-shaped monomers viz. substituted 1,3-phenylene bis-{ 4-[ 4-(n-allyloxyalkyloxy) phenylazo ]benzoate} 5a-c and substituted 1,3-phenylene bis-{ 4-[ 4-(n-allyloxyalkyloxy)-3- fluorophenylazo]benzoate} 5d-f in which azobenzene moiety in the periphery and resorcinol as central unit and polymerizable double bonds at both ends of all the molecules were synthesized and characterized. Mesophase behavior was investigated using polarizing optical microscopy, DSC and XRD measurements. …”

Palmitic acid of Musa Paradisiaca induces apoptosis through caspase-3 in human oral squamous cell carcinoma by Budi, H. S., S., Anitasari, Ulfa, N. M., Setiabudi, M. A., Ramasamy, R., Wu, C. Z., Shen, Y. K.

“…Objective: Despite apoptosis processes being conserved, cancer cells have developed mechanisms to inhibit apoptosis by altering anti-apoptotic molecules or inactivating pro-apoptotic. The aim of this study was to determine the palmitic acid of Musa paradisiaca var. sapientum (L) Kunz (MP) stem extracts against human oral squamous cell carcinoma (hOSCC) through caspase-3. …”

Morphological and immunophenotypical characterisation of maturation-associated chicken dendritic cells by wild type and recombinant fowlpox virus infections by Yusof, Sakinah

“…The maturation process happened when immature DCs capture and process antigen which followed by up regulation of MHC class II surface marker and co-stimulatory molecules such as CD40, CD80 and CD86. The study has demonstrated that both WT FWPV and rFWPV/H5 were susceptible towards DCs and capable in inducing maturation of DCs. …”
