Boosting energy efficiency and selectivity of glucose oxidation toward glucuronic acid in high-frequency ultrasound using multicavity CuO catalytic cavitation agents by Xie, Z, Mahendran, V, Jonnalagadda, US, Fan, Q, Su, X, Fischer, AF, Tan, M, Tao, L, Jérôme, F, Kwan, JJ, Valange, S, Choksi, TS, Amaniampong, PN, Liu, W

“…First, the generation of OH radicals and possibly other reactive oxygen species in the bulk aqueous phase resulted in the formation of gluconic acid, together with other byproducts of C-C bond cleavage and ring opening. Second, the generation of OH radicals in close proximity to CuO resulted in the formation of glucuronic acid with the six membered ring preserved. …”

Whole-cell phenotypic screening of Medicines for Malaria Venture Pathogen Box identifies specific inhibitors of Plasmodium falciparum late-stage development and egress by Patra, Alok Tanala, Hingamire, Tejashri, Belekar, Meenakshi A., Xiong, Aoli, Subramanian, Gowtham, Bozdech, Zbynek, Preiser, Peter, Shanmugam, Dhanasekaran, Chandramohanadas, Rajesh

“…We identified 90 molecules with EC50 of ≤1 μM, which had significant effect on the ring-trophozoite transition, while 9 molecules inhibited the trophozoite-schizont transition and 21 molecules inhibited the schizont-ring transition (with ≥50% parasites failing to proceed to the next stage) at 1 μM. …”

Design and 3D printing of reconfigurable structures by Teo, Ee Hian

“…The structure is made up of single modular units being repeatedly fixed together, this leads to the structure to isolate single modular units that are damaged, allowing it to be easily pin-pointed and replaced by fabricating another similar single unit, this cut cost as the structure can be salvaged by replacing a single unit instead of the whole structure.…”
