Self-assembled structures using CABC multi-block copolymers by Zheng, Jie

“…Varying the lengths of A and C segments (varying the hydrophobicity), the assembly morphological change from spherical micelles to discs, toroids, oval toroids, and cage-like structures. I also crosslinked toroids and studied their size change below and above LCST with keeping the toroid structures.…”

Identification of novel interactions between MicroRNAs and pattern-recognition receptor signalling in dentritic cells by Pichulik, T

“…Recent evidence has suggested that PRR signalling regulates the expression of microRNAs (miRNAs), important post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression, which have been shown to fine-tune innate immune responses.</p> <p>This thesis describes the discovery of miR-650, a novel PRR-responsive miRNA that is down regulated in monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) on PRR stimulation. …”
