Investigating the role of lysine demethylase UTX-1 in lifespan regulation of C. elegans by Guillermo, A

“…Overall, the work in this thesis, which also includes analysis of <em>cbp-1</em> (H3K27 acetyl transferase), suggests that lifespan regulation due to H3K27 modification is incredibly complex and that longevity is mediated differentially as a consequence of different doses of modifier, and in specific tissues, likely due to transcriptional changes mediated by the demethylase function of UTX-1.…”

The effects of different solubilizing agents on the transport and pharmacokinetic profiles of indomethacin: in vitro and in vivo approach by Siti Aisyah Zainuddin, Abdul Latip Ab Hamid, Aqila Iman Rafandi, Mashani Mohamad, Khuriah Abdul Hamid, Syed Haroon Khalid

Cathodoluminescence of self-organized heterogeneous phases in multidimensional perovskite thin films by Cortecchia, Daniele, Lew, Kar Cheng, So, Jin-Kyu, Bruno, Annalisa, Soci, Cesare

“…In this work, we combine steady-state and time-resolved cathodoluminescence microscopy with photoluminescence techniques and reveal with unprecedented resolution the characteristic self-assembly of heterogeneous phases of perovskites with different dimensionality, driven by uneven redistribution of methylammonium cations during film formation. Our findings provide fundamental insights for the rational design of complex multidimensional perovskite systems with improved stability and emissive properties.…”
