Optimizing frontal polymerization of different epoxy resins for magnetocuring by Tay, Jerry Rong Yao

“…Some of the shortcomings of the classical curing method have been overcome by a recently developed strategy known as frontal polymerization by which, the curing of the epoxy resin is achieved through the activation of a localized reaction zone. The curing reaction at the localized zone can be triggered through UV-light or heat activation. …”

Epi-microRNA mediated metabolic reprogramming counteracts hypoxia to preserve affinity maturation by Nakagawa, R, Llorian, M, Varsani-Brown, S, Chakravarty, P, Camarillo, JM, Barry, D, George, R, Blackledge, NP, Duddy, G, Kelleher, NL, Klose, RJ, Turner, M, Calado, DP

“…To increase antibody affinity against pathogens, positively selected GC-B cells initiate cell division in the light zone (LZ) of germinal centers (GCs). Among these, higher-affinity clones migrate to the dark zone (DZ) and vigorously proliferate by utilizing energy provided by oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS). …”

Finally, protection for the high seas by Randhawa, Dipinder Singh

“…The High Seas Treaty is the first global agreement to protect the open seas – ninety-five per cent of the oceans that lie beyond exclusive national economic zones. For this critically vital expanse of Planet Earth which has huge economic, ecological and strategic importance, and which is little understood by people around the world, the treaty offers considerable protection against over-exploitation and wanton abuse.…”
