Helicobacter pylori infection can affect energy modulating hormones and body weight in germ free mice by Loke, Mun Fai, Vadivelu, Jamuna, Tan, Tuan Lin, Wong, Whye Yen, Khosravi, Yalda, Seow, Shih Wee, Amoyo, Arlaine Anne, Chiow, Kher Hsin, Poh, Qian Hui, Sentosa, Ignatius Mario Doli, Bunte, Ralph M., Pettersson, Sven

“…To assess whether a H. pylori infection could affect growth in early life, we determined the expression levels of selected metabolic gut hormones in germ free (GF) and specific pathogen-free (SPF) mice with and without the presence of H. pylori. …”

Metronidazole causes skeletal muscle atrophy and modulates muscle chronometabolism by Manickam, Ravikumar, Oh, Hui Yun Penny, Tan, Chek Kun, Paramalingam, Eeswari, Wahli, Walter

“…PPARγ and one of its important target genes, adiponectin, are also upregulated by metronidazole. Metronidazole in germ-free (GF) mice increases the expression of other core clock genes, such as Bmal1 and Per2, as well as the metabolic regulators FoxO1 and Pdk4, suggesting a microbiota-independent pharmacologic effect. …”

The gut microbiota and developmental programming of the testis in mice by Al-Asmakh, Maha, Stukenborg, Jan-Bernd, Reda, Ahmed, Anuar, Farhana, Strand, Mona-Lisa, Hedin, Lars, Pettersson, Sven, Söder, Olle

“…Here we used specific pathogen free (SPF) mice and germ-free (GF) mice to explore whether gut microbiota and/or their metabolites can influence testis development and regulation of BTB. …”

Frequency domain coherent backscattering for depth : sensitive tissue measurement. by Wong, Junn Munn.

“…A sharp peak intensity cone which is created through photon self-interference effect in CBS provides us the optical properties such as transport mean-free-path length (ℓ*) of the medium. However, utilization of CBS in biological media faced some limitations in probing multi-layered stratified biological tissue. …”

Mapping nanoscale topographic features in thick tissues with speckle diffraction tomography by Kang, Sungsam, Zhou, Renjie, Brelen, Marten, Mak, Heather K., Lin, Yuechuan, So, Peter T. C., Yaqoob, Zahid

“…Benefiting from the high-resolution and full-field quantitative imaging capabilities of SDT, we successfully imaged red blood cells and quantified their membrane fluctuations behind a turbid medium with a thickness of 2.8 scattering mean-free paths. Most importantly, we performed volumetric imaging of cornea inside an ex vivo rat eye and quantified its optical properties, including the mapping of nanoscale topographic features of Dua’s and Descemet’s membranes that had not been previously visualized.…”

Design and growth of high-power gallium nitride light-emitting diodes by Zhang, Zihui

“…We have also suggested InGaN/GaN LED devices with the electron overflow reduction through incorporating n-type InGaN layer and n-type AlGaN layer into the n-GaN layer, respectively, accompanied with which a mean-free-path model has been proposed and demonstrated to explain the mechanism of the electron overflow reduction through decreasing the electron mean free path. …”

Graphene metamaterials for intense, tunable, and compact extreme ultraviolet and X-ray sources by Pizzi, Andrea, Rosolen, Gilles, Wong, Liang Jie, Ischebeck, Rasmus, Soljačić, Marin, Feurer, Thomas, Kaminer, Ido

“…This work demonstrates a unique free-electron light source, wherein the electron mean free path in a given material is longer than the device length, relaxing the requirements of complex electron beam systems and potentially paving the way to high-yield, compact, and tunable X-ray sources.…”
