Stomach tissue classification using autofluorescence spectroscopy and machine learning by Lim, Soo Y., Yoon, Hong M., Kook, Myeong-Cherl, Jang, Jin I., So, Peter T. C., Kang, Jeon W., Kim, Hyung M.

“…Abstract Background and objectives Determination of stomach tumor location and invasion depth requires delineation of gastric histological structure, which has hitherto been widely accomplished by histochemical staining. In recent years, alternative histochemical evaluation methods have been pursued to accelerate intraoperative diagnosis, often by bypassing the time-consuming step of dyeing. …”

Construction and characterization of a Lactococcus lactis in-trans surface display system harboring murine glycosylated tyrosinase related protein-2 by Kalyanasundram, Jeevanathan

“…Codon optimized mtrp-2 and cA genes also did not result in target protein production. In order to investigate post-translational modification interruption, expression of codon optimized mtrp-2125-276 epitope devoid of mtrp-2 native maturation signal peptide was performed which resulted in misfolded plus aggregated mTRP-2125-276 and mTRP-2125-276 –cA protein production. …”

Squeezing the Quantum Noise of LIGO below the Standard Quantum Limit by Jia, Wenxuan

“…Their merger unleashed an immense amount of energy, with the peak emission rate surpassing the combined power of all luminous stars in the observable universe. Unlike stars, the merger of two black holes does not emit electromagnetic radiation like visible light but instead illuminates the universe with gravitational radiation. …”

Investigating the role of CDK1 in governing the transcriptional landscape in cancer cells by Pluta, AJ

“…HeLa AS-CDK1 was used for the initial analysis of the transcriptional effects of CDK1 inhibition in cancer cells. Using EU staining and chromatin-associated RNA-seq approaches, it was shown that the inhibition of HeLa AS-CDK1 cells with the ATP analogue 1-NM-PP1 results in the upregulation of gene expression. …”

Underdetermination in classic and modern tests of general relativity by Wolf, W, Sanchioni, M, Read, J

“…Canonically, ‘classic’ tests of general relativity (GR) include perihelion precession, the bending of light around stars, and gravitational redshift; ‘modern’ tests have to do with, inter alia, relativistic time delay, equivalence principle tests, gravitational lensing, strong field gravity, and gravitational waves. …”

In memory of Aureliano's ice. by Ho, Jia Xuan.

“…This brings us back to the very opening of Gabriel García Márquez‟s One Hundred Years of Solitude, the famous opening line: “Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice” (1). …”

Toxicity, permeability and drug-metabolizing enzyme activities of curcumin analogues by Yakubu, Ndatsu

“…Hence, two curcumin analogues, which are 2,6-bis(2,5-dimethoxybenzy-lidene)cyclohexanone (BDMC33) and 2,6-bis(2-fluorobenzylidene)cyclohexanone (MS65) with potent anti-inflammatory activities than curcumin were synthesized by our research group. …”
