Heterogeneity within colorectal cancer cell lines and epigenetic regulation of CD24 by Ibn Ayub, M

“…This thesis investigated the role of methylation in dynamic regulation of CD24 based heterogeneity in colorectal cancer cell lines. First, E-Cadherin variation between the cell lines LS174T and LS180 was investigated to find out whether E-Cadherin had any causal role in the difference in lumen formation between these two cell lines derived from the same tumour. …”

Experimental observation of optical Weyl points and Fermi arc-like surface states by Chong, Yi Dong, Chen, Kevin P., Rechtsman, Mikael C., Noh, Jiho, Huang, Sheng, Leykam, Daniel

“…We use a 3D structure consisting of laser-written waveguides, and show the presence of type-II Weyl points by observing conical diffraction along one axis when the frequency is tuned to the Weyl point; and observing the associated Fermi arc-like surface states. The realization of Weyl points at optical frequencies allows these novel electromagnetic modes to be further explored in the context of linear, nonlinear, and quantum optics.…”

A mid-life health crisis : supplements for good health. by Toh, Hwee Ling.

“…The data is collected from 20 interviewees between the ages 30 to 60, with a representative percentage of the national ethnic division, in a period of three months from October 2009 to January 2010. An important finding is the challenges to their doctors’ opinions by seeking second opinions from friends and the Internet, as well as the link between gender and the propensity to consume health supplements, where men are more likely to reject supplements and women to consume them and encourage others to consume them regardless of their ethnicity.…”
