Captions from Book Marks, a display held in Blackwell Hall, Weston Library, 24 August - 15 December 2024 by Honey, A, Evans, A, Fox, A

“…From paper clips, wine and ink stains, to burns from candles, added pilgrim’s badges, pressed plants, locks of hair and unusual objects used as bookmarks, the examples on display reveal hidden and often surprising habits of reading and writing. …”

Techniques for analysis and integration of histology data and agent-based modelling of T cell-tumour interactions by Stephens, R

“…Immunotherapies are increasingly being developed to target aspects of the immune system, such as CD8+ T cells, in order to boost its anti-tumour response. In clinical trials of such therapies, patients are monitored in several ways, often including core-needle biopsies in which a small piece of the tumour is removed, stained for specific cell markers, and imaged.…”

In vivo visualization of cells with fluorescent-labeled fab fragment. by Wee, Armanda Lixuan.

“…Immunofluorescence has often been employed in in vivo imaging to understand the dynamic interaction of immune cells in physiological and pathological conditions. …”

Electrochemical scrutinizing techniques on initial development of pseudomonas aeruginosa strain (PAO1) biofilms by Foo, Yu Hao

“…The accumulation of biofilms on the surface of industrial equipment is natural yet often detrimental. In clinical settings, biofilms forming on medical implants pose health risks for patients with compromised immune systems; biofilms release a variety of virulence factors and are extremely resistant to antibiotics. …”

Growth of myxococcus xanthus in continuous-flow-cell bioreactors as a method for studying development by Smaldone, Gregory T., Jin, Yujie, Whitfield, Damion L., Mu, Andrew Y., Wong, Edward C., Wuertz, Stefan, Singer, Mitchell

“…To demonstrate the versatility of our growth environment, we carried out time-lapse confocal laser scanning microscopy to visualize M. xanthus biofilm growth and fruiting body development, as well as fluorescence staining of exopolysaccharides deposited by biofilms. …”

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. …”

Correlative light and electron microscopy of telomeric repeat-binding factor 1 in mammalian cells by von Otter, Eric

“…Chromatin fibers range from 5 nm to 30 nm in diameter with a mean diameter of 18.5 nm which decreases to 13.1 nm in low salt conditions. In order to establish a comparative data-set of telomeric and non-telomeric chromatin, nucleosomes were stained for CLEM by eGFP_APEX2 labelling of H2B. …”

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. …”

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. …”
