The role of calcium dependent neurotransmission in axon path finding, myelination and maintenance of specified cortical projection neuron populations by Korrell, K

“…</p> <p>One way to reduce neuronal activity was to abolish regulated vesicular release by removing Snap25 (synaptosome-associated protein of 25 kDA), member of the SNARE ((N-ethylmaleimide-sensitive factor) Attachment Protein Receptor) complex in a Snap25-flox mouse in which the essential exon 5a/b is flanked by LoxP sites and therefore truncated in the presence of Cre-recombinase. …”

The influence of nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) signalling and the significance of the organization of lysosomes in cardiac myocytes by Aston, D

“…Data from confocal microscopy experiments demonstrate an association between lysosomes and the SR, while membrane contact sites (MCS) between these structures are shown to exist using electron microscopy. …”

Sustainable management of elasmobranchs in complex coastal fisheries by Gupta, T

“…I examined fishing and trade motivations across the spectrum of elasmobranch catch, from low-value bycatch (like rhino rays) to high-value target species (like blacktip sharks) at two case study sites; Goa and Kakinada. My research uncovered diverse motivations and values underpinning people’s use of elasmobranchs, including instrumental (economic) benefits, food, culture and tradition, which were enabled by mechanisms such as access to capital, social identity and knowledge. …”

Understanding the viral protein structures of clinically relevant arboviruses and fragment-based screening for antivirals by Farhana Abu Bakar

“…Inhibition of this protein was frequently found to be effective in suppressing viral replication in vitro, while the efficacy is limited by drug dissemination to viral replication sites in vivo. Herein, fragment-based screening was applied to CHIKV nsP2 protease to identify novel start points for drug design. …”

Structure-activity relationships of photo-activated soft tissue Adhesive by Wicaksono, Gautama

“…Using tissue adhesives may reduce these, however soft tissue adhesion remains a challenging problem due to the presence of hydration layer on the tissue surface and the limited availability of covalent bonding sites for the adhesive to adhere onto the tissue. …”

The effects and costs of an anti-bullying program (KiVa) in UK primary schools: a multicenter cluster randomized controlled trial by Badger, JR, Bowes, L, Babu, M, Broome, M, Cannings-John, R, Clarkson, S, Coulman, E, Tudor Edwards, R, Ford, T, Hastings, RP, Hayes, R, Lugg-Widger, F, Owen-Jones, E, Patterson, P, Segrott, J, Sydenham, M, Townson, J, Watkins, RC, Whiteley, H, Williams, ME, Stand Together Team, Hutchings, J

“…<p><b>Findings </b></p> Between 8/11/2019–12/02/2021, 118 primary schools were recruited in four trial sites, 11 111 students in primary analysis (KiVa-intervention: n = 5944; 49.6% female; UP: n = 5167, 49.0% female). …”

Studies on the physicochemical, biomechanical and biological properties of novel decellularized bovine scaffold for bone regeneration by Qabbani, Ali Abdul Qader Hameed Al

“…The study found that DCC scaffolds significantly promoted new bone formation, with enhanced defect closure and higher bone density observed in micro-CT analyses compared to DMB. DCC sites also demonstrated elevated mRNA levels of osteogenic markers such as osteonectin, osteopontin, and osteocalcin. …”
