The role of the spleen in mediating pathology in Plasmodium Yoelii (P.yoelii) infection by Huang, Ximei

“…Differences in the ability of the spleen to deal with the infected red blood cells (iRBCs) are linked to differences in virulence. Using virulent and avirulent Plasmodium yoelii strains, we investigated how parasite virulence modulates overall spleen function. …”

Autonomous control of interlinking converter with energy storage in hybrid AC–DC microgrid by Loh, Poh Chiang, Li, Ding, Chai, Yi Kang, Blaabjerg, Frede

“…The coexistence of ac and dc subgrids in a hybrid microgrid is likely given that modern distributed sources can either be ac or dc. Linking these subgrids is a power converter, whose topology should preferably be not too unconventional. …”

Cyberbullying: differentiating offenders criminal roles using a narrative‐based approach by Fumagalli, Anita, Trayford, Tori Jillings, Chrysikos, Alexandros

“…However, there is a need to explore, categorize and identify cyberbullies and their characteristics so that inferences and crime links can be made to prevent the crime. The present study aimed to investigate whether the Narrative Action System Model (NASM) could be used to identify and examine the psychological underpinnings of different cyberbully offending styles. …”

Heroes, villains and naked nations: micro-solidarity and grounded nationalism in times of crisis by David, Lea, Carol, Sarah, Malešević, Siniša, Uzelac, Gordana

“…We utilize the notion of “naked nations” to show that, in times of crisis, people’s selfhood is profoundly grounded in micro-solidarity encounters that are tightly linked to nation-states.…”

Reading and ideology: the case of the free public libraries movement by Spowage, K, Toth, HG

“…This article examines social debates on mass reading in Britain, linking them to the free public libraries movement of the mid-19th century. …”

Simulation of national-scale groundwater dynamics in geologically complex aquifer systems: an example from Great Britain by Bianchi, M, Scheidegger, J, Hughes, A, Jackson, C, Lee, J, Lewis, M, Mansour, M, Newell, A, O’Dochartaigh, B, Patton, A, Dadson, S

“…Comparisons showed regional differences linked to lithological and climatic factors, which in turn can be associated with more or less groundwater resilience to extreme climatic events. …”

Relationship between active protection in vaccinated buffaloes against haemorrhagic septicaemia and passive mouse protection test or serum antibody titres by Chandrasekaran, S., Kennett, L., Yeap, P.C., Muniandy, N., Rani, B., Mukkur, T.K.S.

Epigenetic disturbances in obesity and diabetes : epidemiological and functional insights by Loh, Marie, Zhou, Li, Ng, Hong Kiat, Chambers, John Campbell

“…Epigenetic factors have demonstrated potential in accounting for additional phenotypic variation, along with providing insights into the causal relationship linking genetic variants to phenotypes. Scope of review: In this review article, we discuss the epidemiological and functional insights into epigenetic disturbances in obesity and diabetes, along with future research directions and approaches, with a focus on DNA methylation. …”

Near-Infrared Fluorescent Molecular Probe for Sensitive Imaging of Keloid by Miao, Qingqing, Yeo, David Chenloong, Wiraja, Christian, Zhang, Jianjian, Ning, Xiaoyu, Xu, Chenjie, Pu, Kanyi

“…As keloid cells have high expression levels of fibroblast activation protein-alpha (FAPα), the probe (FNP1) is designed to have a caged NIR dye and a FAPα-cleavable peptide substrate linked by a self-immolative segment. FNP1 can quickly and specifically turn on its fluorescence at 710 nm by 45-fold in the presence of FAPα, allowing it to effectively recognize keloid cells from normal skin cells. …”
