Investigating the role of self-sacrificing prosociality in intragroup and intergroup contexts by Katna, Dashalini P.

“…Parochial cooperation theories assume that strongly self-sacrificing members primarily desire and seek to achieve ingroup-favouring outcomes, and consequently become prepared to bear extreme costs to themselves. This altruism to help, however, does not always extend into intergroup contexts. …”

Roseburia intestinalis generated butyrate boosts anti-PD-1 efficacy in colorectal cancer by activating cytotoxic CD8⁺ T cells by Kang, Xing, Liu, Changan, Ding, Yanqiang, Ni, Yunbi, Ji, Fenfen, Lau, Harry Cheuk Hay, Jiang, Lanping, Sung, Joseph Jao Yiu, Wong, Sunny Hei, Yu, Jun

“…R. intestinalis or butyrate also significantly improved antiprogrammed cell death protein 1 (anti-PD-1) efficacy in mice bearing MSI-low CT26 tumours. Mechanistically, butyrate directly bound to toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) receptor on CD8(+) T cells to induce its activity through activating nuclear factor kappa B (NF-& kappa;B) signalling. …”

Biological characterization of RNA polymerase proteins from human 2009 pandemic H1N1 and low pathogenic avian H5N2 and H9N2 influenza viruses by Myaing, Myint Zu

“…In our gene reassortment study, a single reassortant bearing a human-origin PA or PB2 subunit against an avian polymerase background could overcome the host range barrier of avian polymerase in human 293T cells, indicating the PA or PB2 as a major determinant of species tropism and pathogenicity. …”

Tumor-targeted nano-assemblies for energy-blocking cocktail therapy in cancer by Chen, Manling, Liu, Yidu, Li, Yang, Liu, Xue

“…In studies with A549 tumor-bearing mice, the combination of low-dose 2-DG and metformin did not impede tumor growth, whereas 2-DG@MA-dots markedly decreased tumor volume, with the mean final tumor volume in the combination treatment group being approximately 89 times greater than that in the 2-DG@MA-dot group. …”

Mechanism of an arched basilar membrane in mammalian cochlea by Chan, Wei Xuan

“…The present ultrasonic bonding method using a thin film of thermoplastic-elastomeric composite is a simple process which provides better flow control by restricting melted thermoplastic with elastomer. The theoretical analysis of the energy absorption and distribution in the thin film composite provides a guideline for selection of thermoplastic and elastomer as well as estimation of the power required for ultrasonic bonding of the film composite. …”

Fabrication and characterization of graphene and carbon nanotube reinforced bioceramic nanocomposites by Hu, Huanlong

“…Bioceramics play an important role in the replacement and regeneration of human tissues, but their intrinsic brittleness and low wear resistance make the monolithic bioceramics still problematic for load-bearing applications. The two dimensional (2D) graphene and one dimensional (1D) carbon nanotube (CNT), as the secondary strong and tough biocompatible nanofillers, are popular nanocarbons to reinforce bioceramics. …”
