Investigating the human teashirt genes TSHZ2 and TSHZ3 in pancreatic and endocrine lineage commitment using genome modified human embryonic stem cells (hESC) by Eng, Shermaine Zi Hui

“…The CRISPR RNA-guided FokI-dCas9 nuclease (RFN) genome editing system was employed to create loss-of-function hESC lines. Two guide RNAs revealed successful editing in the 3’ end of TSHZ2 coding sequence while gRNAs tested for the 5’ end of TSHZ2 and for TSHZ3 were ineffective. …”

Quantum dots-siRNA nanoplexes for gene silencing in central nervous system tumor cells by Lin, Guimiao, Chen, Ting, Zou, Jinyun, Wang, Yucheng, Wang, Xiaomei, Li, Jiefeng, Huang, Qijun, Fu, Zicai, Zhao, Yingying, Lin, Marie Chia-Mi, Xu, Gaixia, Yong, Ken-Tye

“…High gene transfection efficiency (>80%) was achieved on two glioblastoma cell lines, U87 and U251. The gene expression level (49.99 ± 10.23% for U87, 43.28 ± 9.66% for U251) and protein expression level (51.58 ± 7.88% for U87, 50.69 ± 7.59% for U251) of TERT is observed to decrease substantially after transfecting the tumor cells for 48 h. …”

Crystal structure of the FK506 binding domain of plasmodium falciparum FKBP35 in complex with FK506 by Kotaka, Masayo, Ye, Hong, Alag, Reema, Hu, Guangan, Bozdech, Zbynek, Preiser, Peter Rainer, Yoon, Ho Sup, Lescar, Julien

“…Compared to the human FKBP12−FK506 complex reported earlier, the structure reveals structural differences in the β5−β6 segment that lines the FK506 binding site. The presence in PfFKBD of Cys-106 and Ser-109 (substituting for His-87 and Ile-90, respectively, in human FKBP12), which are 4−5 Å from the nearest atom of the FK506 compound, suggests possible routes for the rational design of analogues of FK506 with specific antiparasitic activity. …”

Clonal phylogenies inferred from bulk, single cell, and spatial transcriptomic analysis of epithelial cancers by Erickson, A, Figiel, S, Rajakumar, T, Rao, S, Yin, W, Doultsinos, D, Magnussen, A, Singh, R, Poulose, N, Bryant, RJ, Cussenot, O, Hamdy, FC, Woodcock, D, Mills, IG, Lamb, AD

“…We first performed in-silico comparisons of inferred and directly resolved SNV and CNV status, from single cancer cells, from three different cell lines. We found that inferred SNV phylogenies accurately recapitulate DNA phylogenies (entanglement = 0.097). …”

Antifungal efficacy of kenaf seed peptides mixture in cheese, safety assessment and unravelling its action mechanism against food spoilage fungi by Arulrajah, Brisha, Qoms, Mohammed S., Muhialdin, Belal J., Zarei, Mohammad, Hussin, Anis Shobirin Meor, Hasan, Hanan, Chau, De-Ming, Ramasamy, Rajesh, Saari, Nazamid

“…The safety assessment showed that KSPM maintained the proliferation of normal cell lines up to 30 mg/mL. The cell surface potential energy and hydrophobicity of fungi were altered due to the potent interactions between the peptides and the cell envelope, with KSPM causing significant fungal cell wall permeability and subsequent disruption of the cytoplasmic membrane integrity. …”

Ritual speech, performativity, and modality by Frangulov, AM

“…The incorporation of historical data from the ritual corpora of the Rigveda and Hittite ritual tablets, has not only enriched the quality of analysis through quantitative analysis, but it also provided catalysts for many of the discussions raised and many future lines of inquiry. In the examination of the facts of performativity in ritual speech, this thesis has shown that formal semantic consideration of this type of data can reveal many insights into performative speech as a whole. …”

Src family kinase expression and subcellular localization in macrophages: implications for their role in CSF‐1‐induced macrophage migration by Dwyer, AR, Mouchemore, KA, Steer, JH, Sunderland, AJ, Sampaio, N, Greenland, EL, Joyce, DA, Pixley, FJ

“…We report a comprehensive analysis of individual Src family kinase expression in macrophage cell lines and primary macrophages and demonstrate colony‐stimulating factor‐1–induced changes in Src family kinase subcellular localization, which provides clues to their distinct and redundant functions in macrophages. …”

Site-specific chemical and topological modifications to augment mRNA therapeutic potential by Aditham, Abhishek J.

“…We show that mocRNAs are subject to slower deadenylation and enhance therapeutic protein expression in cell lines and primary cell cultures. We expanded on this technology by creating mRNAs with chemically branched poly(A) tails, or multitail mRNAs, which increase the density of modifications at the 3’ end of mocRNA and further stabilize mRNA against deadenylation. …”

Rhetorical contestation and the mediterranean migration crisis, 2013-2018 by He, Wendy Qingli

“…In addition, I argue that the securitization of the migration crisis is perpetuated by the EU and Italy’s use of complicity to construct a political narrative that blurs the lines of responsibility and culpability. By ascribing complicity to others using highly politicized rhetoric, the EU and Italy complicate the narrative of the migration crisis, making it more challenging to attribute responsibility to any one party. …”
