Clonal phylogenies inferred from bulk, single cell, and spatial transcriptomic analysis of epithelial cancers by Erickson, A, Figiel, S, Rajakumar, T, Rao, S, Yin, W, Doultsinos, D, Magnussen, A, Singh, R, Poulose, N, Bryant, RJ, Cussenot, O, Hamdy, FC, Woodcock, D, Mills, IG, Lamb, AD

“…We first performed in-silico comparisons of inferred and directly resolved SNV and CNV status, from single cancer cells, from three different cell lines. We found that inferred SNV phylogenies accurately recapitulate DNA phylogenies (entanglement = 0.097). …”

Antifungal efficacy of kenaf seed peptides mixture in cheese, safety assessment and unravelling its action mechanism against food spoilage fungi by Arulrajah, Brisha, Qoms, Mohammed S., Muhialdin, Belal J., Zarei, Mohammad, Hussin, Anis Shobirin Meor, Hasan, Hanan, Chau, De-Ming, Ramasamy, Rajesh, Saari, Nazamid

“…The safety assessment showed that KSPM maintained the proliferation of normal cell lines up to 30 mg/mL. The cell surface potential energy and hydrophobicity of fungi were altered due to the potent interactions between the peptides and the cell envelope, with KSPM causing significant fungal cell wall permeability and subsequent disruption of the cytoplasmic membrane integrity. …”

Diameter-free estimates for the quadratic Vinogradov mean value theorem by Mudgal, A

“…Consequently, our strategy differs from these two lines of approach, and we employ techniques from incidence geometry, arithmetic combinatorics and analytic number theory. …”

Ritual speech, performativity, and modality by Frangulov, AM

“…The incorporation of historical data from the ritual corpora of the Rigveda and Hittite ritual tablets, has not only enriched the quality of analysis through quantitative analysis, but it also provided catalysts for many of the discussions raised and many future lines of inquiry. In the examination of the facts of performativity in ritual speech, this thesis has shown that formal semantic consideration of this type of data can reveal many insights into performative speech as a whole. …”

Src family kinase expression and subcellular localization in macrophages: implications for their role in CSF‐1‐induced macrophage migration by Dwyer, AR, Mouchemore, KA, Steer, JH, Sunderland, AJ, Sampaio, N, Greenland, EL, Joyce, DA, Pixley, FJ

“…We report a comprehensive analysis of individual Src family kinase expression in macrophage cell lines and primary macrophages and demonstrate colony‐stimulating factor‐1–induced changes in Src family kinase subcellular localization, which provides clues to their distinct and redundant functions in macrophages. …”

Site-specific chemical and topological modifications to augment mRNA therapeutic potential by Aditham, Abhishek J.

“…We show that mocRNAs are subject to slower deadenylation and enhance therapeutic protein expression in cell lines and primary cell cultures. We expanded on this technology by creating mRNAs with chemically branched poly(A) tails, or multitail mRNAs, which increase the density of modifications at the 3’ end of mocRNA and further stabilize mRNA against deadenylation. …”

Rhetorical contestation and the mediterranean migration crisis, 2013-2018 by He, Wendy Qingli

“…In addition, I argue that the securitization of the migration crisis is perpetuated by the EU and Italy’s use of complicity to construct a political narrative that blurs the lines of responsibility and culpability. By ascribing complicity to others using highly politicized rhetoric, the EU and Italy complicate the narrative of the migration crisis, making it more challenging to attribute responsibility to any one party. …”

Impact of BREXIT on key stakeholders of the maritime industry in UK by Ching, Claudia Loke Wei

“…By and large, UK will generally experience detrimental effects in the near future, but the long term effects of BREXIT still awaits to be seen as UK seeks to establish new trade relations and construct necessary infrastructure in supporting the UK economy post-BREXIT. UK shipping lines and port operators are therefore recommended to look to alternative sources of labour to replace the productivity gap of the EU nationals in the worst case scenario of a hard BREXIT should restrictions in the free movement of labour occur after BREXIT. …”

In vitro and in silico investigation of TRPC3 mechanism and dynamics by Collingridge, J

“…This work provides computational evidence for the ability of TRPC3 to form a widely conserved, mechanistically important π-helix structural component in the pore-lining S6 helix. This has not previously been reported for TRPC3, and simulations presented here suggest a role for the π-helix in promoting a transition towards an open state of the channel. …”

“…Further analysis within the rheumatology service theme revealed additional sub-themes that emphasised integrating multidisciplinary services, improving access to advice lines and ensuring fair access to treatments.</p> <br> <p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> The five key themes provide valuable insights into the important areas of interest within health service delivery in the UK. …”

Nebular dominated galaxies: insights into the stellar initial mass function at high redshift by Cameron, AJ, Katz, H, Witten, C, Saxena, A, Laporte, N, Bunker, A

“…In contrast, modelling the spectrum as primarily nebular provides a good fit to both the continuum and emission lines, motivating scenarios in which (a) we are observing only nebular emission or (b) the ionizing source is powering extreme nebular emission that outshines the stellar emission. …”

Investigating the contribution of the unfolded protein response to prostate cancer bone metastasis by Kaya, Z

“…Using paired androgen refractory cancer of the prostate (ARCaP) cell lines ARCaPE and ARCaPM which differ in their epithelial (E) and mesenchymal (M) characteristics, I found that components of IRE1 and ATF6 ER stress pathways are higher in ARCaPE cells than in ARCaPM and decreased upon osteogenic differentiation of ARCaPM cells. …”

Engineering control of rhizobacteria for plant growth promotion by Green, PWL

“…The rhizopine system was used to demonstrate tight transcriptional control of the NifA master transcriptional regulator of <em>nif</em> genes for nitrogen fixation <em>in vitro</em>, thereby developing a rhizopine responsive diazotrophic strain which can be assayed for plant growth promotion on rhizopine producing barley lines. To test the feasibility of controlled synthetic symbiosis in a nodule environment, rhizopine control of nitrogen fixation was assayed in the model symbiotic rhizobium <em>S. meliloti</em>. …”
