Development of squaraine and croconaine probes for theranostic applications by Ferdinandus

“…Unlike the native PDA-PEI mixture, which demands high laser power for moderate transfection efficiency and risks cell viability, the PDA-PEI-CRO32TMI construct outperformed traditional solution-based transfection reagents, Au nanoparticle, and Vanadyl naphthalocyanine, achieving superior results with minimal laser power density.…”

Induction of z-conformation in ribosomal RNA by Z-DNA binding domain Zα of the human double-stranded RNA deaminase I (ADAR1) by Zhao, Jing

“…We also mapped the binding interfaces of ZαADAR1 to Z-DNA, Z-RNA and E.coli ribosomes, and found them to be identical. Based on this finding, we proposed that the role of ZαADAR1 in binding to ribosomes and inhibiting translation is to recognize potentially Z-forming structures and/or induce localized structural transitions from A- to Z-conformations in ribosomal RNA. …”

Nanomechanical adaptation of early apoptotic cell shrinkage to materials interface by Cai, Pingqiang

“…A mechanotransduction pathway was first proposed, in which cell microtubule flexural rigidity and tensional pre-stress were identified to be the key factors. Based on this, we conducted a systematic evaluation by interfacing cells with substrates specifically engineered (e.g. through substrate elasticity and geometric constraints) to modulate the two factors. …”

Metatheoretical study of Lijphart's power sharing theory by Mafakheri, Ramin

“…The researcher, by using Mu, realized that the theoretical framework and underlying structure of power sharing theory as an empirical and normative democratic theory can be determined by basing them on four different but overlapping categories that shape the findings of this study: First, Lijphart’s critical studies of two major democratic theories; second, examining his background, intellectual activities, connections and pursuits; third, discovering the empirical and philosophical roots of the theory, analyzing the methods what Lijphart used in a comparative method and comparative politics; and fourth determining the main theoretical contexts that provided a theoretical framework for theory-building. …”
