Leucine-rich α-2-glycoprotein 1 suppresses endothelial cell activation through ADAM10-mediated shedding of TNF-α receptor by Pang, Kuin Tian, Ghim, Mean, Liu, Chenghao, Tay, Hui Min, Fhu, Chee Wai, Chia, Rui Ning, Qiu, Beiying, Sarathchandra, Padmini, Chester, Adrian H., Yacoub, Magdi H., Wilkinson, Fiona L., Weston, Ria, Warboys, Christina M., Hou, Han Wei, Weinberg, Peter D., Wang, Xiaomeng

“…Causality between LRG1 and TNFR1 shedding was established by showing that Lrg1 -/- mice had lower plasma sTNFR1 concentrations than wild type mice. Our results demonstrate a novel role for LRG1 in endothelial activation and its potential therapeutic role in inflammatory diseases should be investigated further.…”

Tunable metasurfaces for active nanophotonics by Omar Abdelrahman Mohamed Abdelraouf

“…Such a mechanism often results in very bulky optical components thicker than the operating light wavelength. Recently, metasurfaces have attracted significant attention owing to their possibility to manipulate the incident light properties such as amplitude, polarization, phase, and wavefront. …”

Evaluation of keratin templates on dermal regeneration of full-thickness burns by Moay, Zi Kuang

“…Results showed that while larger foams were able to retain similar structural and mechanical properties as their smaller counterparts, HHK foams were more structurally stable than KA foams and thus were chosen for subsequent studies. …”

牛车水的塑造：政治活动中华人的自主性和殖民管治 = The shaping of Chinatown: relationship of Chinese agency and colonial governance in political activities by 蔡晓欣 Choi, Irene Hiu Yan

“…The Chinese who lived in Singapore also tried to make sense of this place and shaped Chinatown to a place that was suitable for living rather than just deemed it as a pitstop. Through these activities and shaping, Chinatown as a place and space was constructed. …”

Nonlinear regression approach for GPS multipath mitigation : from code to carrier-phase measurements by Phan, Quoc Huy

“…Multipath, where GPS signals arrive by more than one path and thereby create a range error, has remained the long-lasting major error source in GPS solutions although having been a target of the GPS research community since the day the system started operating. …”

A microfluidic platform to study pathogen-host interactions at single cell level by Zhang, Rui

“…Single A549 cells were isolated into the individual micro-wells by one-step vacuum driven microfluidics when cell density was pre-adjusted to less than 0.3 cell/well. On-chip quantitative PCR was carried out with species-specific primer and probe sets to quantify the adhered bacteria. …”

Perfect- and quasi- complementary sequences by Liu, Zilong

“…Specifically, the “fractional-delay” problem occurs when any inter-user delay takes on a value which is a fraction (rather than an integer) of the half chip-duration. By exploiting the correlation property of a PCSS, we have proposed a fractional-delay-resilient receiver with interference-free achievability in strong interference case. …”

Synthesis, assembly and applications of novel two-dimensional metal chalcogenide nanomaterials by Tan, Chaoliang

“…A power conversion efficiency of 6.5% was achieved on the MoS2xSe2(1-x) nanosheet thin film electrode, which is higher than that of 2H-phase MoS2xSe2(1-x) (5.4%). Third, I prepared three kinds of 2D metal chalcogenide heteronanostructures in liquid phase by an electrochemical method by using metal foils and bulk TiS2 crystal as precursors, in which metal sulphide nanoplates, including CuS, ZnS and Ni3S2, were epitaxially grown on ultrathin TiS2 nanosheet. …”

Carbon nanomaterial/thermoplastic polyurethane composites for sports application : preparation, characterization and simulation by Jing, Qifei

“…The numerical study demonstrated that the plastic area, final specific plastic dissipation energy and residual height for PU specimens were significantly larger than those for the GO/PU composite. Besides, the addition of GO into the PU matrix greatly delayed the onset of plastic deformation in PU in a large-deflection bending process. …”

Global, regional, and national burden of stroke and its risk factors, 1990–2021: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2021 by Feigin, VL, Abate, MD, Abate, YH, Bandyopadhyay, S, Bennett, DA, Lacey, B, Newton, CRJ

“…We found disparities in stroke burden and risk factors by GBD region, country or territory, and SDI, as well as a stagnation in the reduction of incidence from 2015 onwards, and even some increases in the stroke incidence, death, prevalence, and DALY rates in southeast Asia, east Asia, and Oceania, countries with lower SDI, and people younger than 70 years. Globally, ischaemic stroke constituted 65·3% (62·4–67·7), intracerebral haemorrhage constituted 28·8% (28·3–28·8), and subarachnoid haemorrhage constituted 5·8% (5·7–6·0) of incident strokes. …”
