Monocyte-derived extracellular vesicles, stimulated by Trypanosoma cruzi, enhance cellular invasion in vitro via activated TGF‐β1 by Ansa-Addo, Ephraim A., Pathak, Paras, McCrossan, Maria V., Volpato Rossi, Izadora, Abdullahi, Mahamed, Stratton, Dan, Lange, Sigrun, Ramirez, Marcel I., Inal, Jameel

“…Host cell lEVs were released through Mtr interaction with host cell lipid raft domains, integrins, and mechanosensitive ion channels, whereupon [Ca2+]cyt increased (50 to 750 nM) within 15 s. lEV release and cell entry of T. cruzi, which increased up to 30 and 60 mpi, respectively, as well as raised actin depolymerization at 60 mpi, were all reduced by TRPC inhibitor, GsMTx‐4. …”

Synthesis of polymeric materials derived from abundant natural feedstocks using non-toxic heavy metals by Navickaite, G

“…The conformational flexibility of the ligand was discussed in relation with varying steric demands, and the bonding environment was contrasted with related bismuth structures, which contain a +3 metal ion with a considerable size difference (<em>r</em>_Sc3+ = 0.745, <em>r</em>_Bi3+ = 1.03 Å).…”

Topochemical cation exchange reactions of Ruddlesden-Popper oxides by Conway, R

“…It was found that modulation of the Mn-site occupancy corresponds to a chequerboard ordering arrangement, which is coupled to the modulation of the equatorial oxygen ion site. MnSrNb2O7 undergoes a transition to an antiferromagnetically ordered state below TN = 39 K, in which the Mn2+ magnetic moments are orientated parallel to the z-axis in a G-type arrangement. …”

Sensorimotor control of Drosophila copulation by Herbert, MR

“…By identifying those lines labelling our cells of interest, not only can we develop a genetic toolkit for manipulating their function, but we can also gain insights into their properties by identifying, for example, the expression of mechanosensitive ion channels such as nompC or the excitatory neurotransmitter ChAT. …”

21W.747 Rhetoric, Fall 2002 by Strang, Steven M.

“…Understanding rhetoric, then, is our best defense against its abusers-- e.g., political "spin doctors," advertisers, demagogues, apologists for immoral business practices, and hate mongers. …”

Tumor cell-intrinsic signals promoting tolerance and adaptation to oncogenic kinase inhibition by Flower, Cameron Timothy

“…The work described in both parts was aided by two MS software solutions I developed: one to automate the generation of targeted acquisition methods for protein phosphosites and pathways of interest, and the other to retain quantitative information from fragment ion spectra with missing values. Together, this thesis reports new connections between cell signaling and kinase inhibitor response, and offers the intriguing hypothesis that SFK signaling may be a conserved barrier for maximally effective targeted cancer therapy.…”

Mechanistic Studies of Interfacial Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer to Molecularly Defined Surface Sites by Lewis, Noah B.

“…With these observations we construct a mechanistic model in which I-PCET is not a single step, but a multi-step reaction sequence in which elementary I-PCET is gated by an ion exchange reaction between proton donor/acceptor species and proton-neutral supporting electrolyte at the electrode-electrolyte interface. …”

Development of novel electrospun nanofibrous scaffold with nanomaterials for target adsorption in different applications by Lim, Huai Xun

“…With the concerning rise in pollution of waters threatening the critical sources of clean water, tremendous amounts of efforts had been put into the research and development of water treatment technologies, inexhaustive of conventional municipal water treatment, to ion-exchange, electrolysis or biological treatment, membrane technology is one of the most energy efficient processes to remove targeted solutes from water. …”

Growth of vanadium oxides nanostructures by chemical vapour deposition by Sim, Dao Hao

“…However, the commercial application of V2O5 in energy storage devices is limited due to its poor cycling stability, Li ion diffusion and electric conductivity. Two-dimensional (2-D) nanostructures have demonstrated better stability, more active sites for lithium insertion/deinsertion than zero-dimensional and onedimensional (1-D) structure, making them attractive in energy storage devices. …”

“…In comparison to Ag3PO4, Ag3VO4 shows better photocatalytic stability, mainly due to the enhanced Ag―O bonds and improved Ag ion stability, but poorer photocatalytic activity in the visible light region mainly due to the presence of d orbital character at the conduction band minimum (CBM) and lower valence band maximum (VBM) potentials (2.335 V, vs NHE). …”
