A materials science framework for connecting protein stability with surface adsorption and coating applications by Ma, Gamaliel Junren

“…Although a protein’s conformational stability has been closely linked to its extent of unfolding in the adsorbed state, it remains to be understood how this relationship may be exploited in order to control a protein’s adsorption behavior and adlayer properties to suit specific application needs. …”

Category learning in infants and adults by Sucevic, J

“…The results revealed that categorisation experience is linked to a modulation of several event-related potentials components suggesting that categorisation may affect visual object processing at an early stage.…”

Circadian rhythm and misalignment in the pathogenesis of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD): an experimental medicine approach by Marjot, T

“…The opening sections of this thesis summarise our existing understanding of the mechanisms driving MASLD, the anatomy and function of the circadian clock, and the links between circadian rhythm and metabolism. I then go on the report data from two bespoke experimental medicine clinical studies: The DECIMAL study (Defining Circadian Metabolism in MASLD) and the MIDNIGHT study (Metabolic Implications of Day and Night-shift working in NHS Healthcare Staff).…”

The prospective associations of 24-hour movement behaviors and domain-specific activities with executive function and academic achievement among school-aged children in Singapore by Padmapriya, Natarajan, Bernard, Jonathan Y., Tan, Sarah Yi Xuan, Chu, Anne H. Y., Goh, Claire Marie Jie Lin, Tan, Shuen Lin, Shek, Lynette P., Chong, Yap Seng, Tan, Kok Hian, Chan, Shiao-Yng, Yap, Fabian, Godfrey, Keith M., Lee, Yung Seng, Meaney, Michael J., Eriksson, Johan G., Tan, Chuen Seng, Law, Evelyn C., Müller-Riemenschneider, Falk

“…Background: Physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB), and sleep are collectively referred to as 24-h movement behaviors, which may be linked to cognitive development in children. However, most of the evidence was based on cross-sectional studies and/or solely relied on parent-reported information on children’s behaviors, and it remains uncertain whether all domains/contexts of PA and SB are similarly associated with executive function and academic achievement. …”

Understanding the justifications for food policies through political theory: a method for public policy analysis by Thomas, O

“…In doing so, I identified a set of key elements linked to the justifications of public policies, namely: the role of culture in policy determination; questions of equity promotion; liberty and its potential infringement; and finally, paternalism in public health. …”

Developing optogenetics for use in vascular research by Rorsman, N

Investigating the role of CDK1 in governing the transcriptional landscape in cancer cells by Pluta, AJ

“…Considering the need for temporal coordination of the cell cycle and the transcription cycle, it can be speculated that the CDKs might play a critical role in linking the two processes. Cyclin-dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) is a highly conserved essential regulator of mitosis, with recognised transcriptional functions revolving around the mitotic repression of gene expression. …”
