Insertion of core CpG island element into human CMV promoter for enhancing recombinant protein expression stability in CHO cells by Mariati, Yeo, Jessna H. M., Koh, Esther Y. C., Ho, Steven C. L., Yang, Yuansheng

“…Low levels of CpG methylation within both WT hCMV and MR1 were observed in all the analyzed cell lines and the methylation levels did not correlate to the expression stability, suggesting IE enhances expression stability by other mechanisms other than preventing methylation.…”

Hydrophosphination as a valuable tool to chiral diphosphines and their derivatives by Teo, Ronald Hong Xiang

“…Next, the synthesis of C-chiral diphosphines from naturally occurring curcumin and derivatives was attempted and the cytotoxicity of the diphosphine metal complexes was evaluated and compared against cisplatin and curcumin in the MKN74 and MCF7 cancer cell-lines. Lastly, the challenges associated with the generation of chiral phosphine-phosphino-chalcogenide and their complexes were discussed in detail and an example of the catalytic property of the phosphine-phosphino-chalcogenide metal complexes was illustrated.…”

15th-century printed Italian editions of Aesopian texts by Malaspina, M

“…</p> <p>The <em>Conclusions</em> focus on the originality of certain texts created specifically for the press, on the people who played an important role in the composition and printing of Aesopian texts, on the identification of new lines of transmission in print, on the distinction and analysis of different iconographic lines of descent in the illustrated editions, and on the discovery of noteworthy cases of provenance evidence, which suggest how the consumption of Aesopian Italian incunables transversely engaged people at different social and cultural levels.…”
