A universal, rapid method for clean transfer of nanostructures onto various substrates by Li, Hai, Wu, Jumiati, Huang, Xiao, Yin, Zongyou, Liu, Juqing, Zhang, Hua

“…Herein, we report a universal and rapid transfer method implementable at mild conditions. Nanostructures with various dimensionalities (i.e., nanoparticles, nanowires, and nanosheets) and surface properties (i.e., hydrophilic and hydrophobic) can be easily transferred to diverse substrates including hydrophilic, hydrophobic, and flexible surfaces with good fidelity. …”

Understanding of disease severity of thalassemia. by Tao, Feng.

“…Seven different patients with disease severity from mild to severe were studied. The pattern demonstrated in this experiment, i.e. the lower the β to α globin concentration ratio the more severe the disease of β-thalassemia, implicates a correlation between the concentration ratios of β versus α globin and the disease severity. …”

Modeling MELAS-associated cardiac defects using patient-specific iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes and cardiac organoids by Phua, Qian Hua

“…In this study, our iPSC-based in vitro model presented novel evidences showing that mitochondrial perturbations found in MELAS affects cardiomyocytes (CMs) differentiation and maturation. Mild mitochondrial aberrations such as mitochondria dynamic disequilibrium and abnormal increase in mitochondria numbers were also being recapitulated in our model. …”

Scheduling nonlinear divisible loads in a single level tree network by Suresh, Sundaram, Run, Cui, Kim, H. J., Robertazzi, T. G.

“…The problem of finding optimal load fraction is a computationally intensive task. Using a mild assumption on the ratio of communication time to computation time, we present a closed-form solution for near optimal load fractions and processing time for the entire load fractions. …”

Effectiveness of influencer marketing tactics and our understanding of consumers psychology in the digital era by Muhammad Ashraf, Fauzi, Farghaly, Ahmed Taiseer, Nur Sofia Nabila, Alimin

“…Social media became very popular lately and social media influencers became a main driver in the marketing strategies in the last years, they also have the ability to influence a wild numbers of audience behaviours and their preference when it comes to purchasing decisions and all this became possible because of social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube and TikTok, This paper aims to improve our knowledge of marketing through social media influencers by studying how influencer attributes effects customers behaviour, attributes such as expertise, trustworthiness, similarities, and attractiveness , this paper will provide some important ideas on how to improve influencers marketing strategies and will make us understand customers purchasing behaviour, the results of this paper might deliver a very useful insights on how to develop brands ethical marketing and will provide suggestions to help brands in implementing influencers marketing in their marketing strategies to be able to reach their target audience through better and real cost efficient manner…”

Biased competition between Lgr5 intestinal stem cells driven by oncogenic mutation induces clonal expansion by Snippert, Hugo J., Schepers, Arnout G., van Es, Johan H., Simons, Benjamin D., Clevers, Hans

“…Thus, an unequal competition between wild‐type and mutant intestinal stem cells initiates a biased drift that leads to the clonal expansion of crypts carrying oncogenic mutations.…”

Functional characterization of orexin system by Chua, Peiling

“…Also, currently there is an absence of a good behavioral paradigm which mimics major depression so we hope to develop one by applying chronic stress through forced swimming test, together with clomipramine, to male wild-type mice. However, the results were not on par with our assumptions as we presumed that the mice will develop depression-like symptoms after 7 days of treatment and we also did not manage to generate the viral vectors. …”
