Heterogeneity within colorectal cancer cell lines and epigenetic regulation of CD24 by Ibn Ayub, M

“…Bisulfite (BS) modification of DNA from the LS174T clones and CD24 differentially expressing CRC cell lines (such as CD24- cell lines: CC20, RKO vs CD24+ cell lines: DLD1, NCIH716) followed by Sanger sequencing showed that direct methylation of seven CpG positions in the CD24 promoter region Chr6:106975560-106975834 is strongly correlated with the expression of CD24. …”

Detection and characterisation of a sixth Candida auris clade in Singapore: a genomic and phenotypic study by Suphavilai, Chayaporn, Ko, Karrie Kwan Ki, Lim, Kar Mun, Tan, Mei Gie, Boonsimma, Patipan, Chu, Joash Jun Keat, Goh, Sui Sin, Rajandran, Prevena, Lee, Lai Chee, Tan, Kwee Yuen, Bushra Binte Shaik Ismail, Aung, May Kyawt, Yang, Yong, Sim, Jean Xiang Ying, Venkatachalam, Indumathi, Cherng, Benjamin Pei Zhi, Spruijtenburg, Bram, Chan, Kian Sing, Oon, Lynette Lin Ean, Tan, Ai Ling, Tan, Yen Ee, Wijaya, Limin, Tan, Ban Hock, Ling, Moi Lin, Koh, Tse Hsien, Meis, Jacques F., Tsui, Clement Kin Ming, Nagarajan, Niranjan

“…Interpretation: The discovery of a new C auris clade in Singapore and Bangladesh in the Indomalayan zone, showing a close relationship to clade IV members most commonly found in South America, highlights the unknown genetic diversity and origin of C auris, particularly in under-resourced regions. Active surveillance in clinical settings, along with effective sequencing strategies and downstream analysis, will be essential in the identification of novel strains, tracking of transmission, and containment of adverse clinical effects of C auris infections.…”

Nonequilibrium hyperuniform fluids by Lei, Yusheng

“…Besides, by rapidly quenching the system from the homogeneous phase to the coexistence region, we observe a series of time-evolved self-similar phase-separating patterns growing via spinodal decomposition, where the patterns are found to exhibit strong hyperuniformity with scaling properties similar to equilibrium Model-B and nonequilibrium active field theories. …”

“一带一路”倡议对新加坡经济的动力及阻力 = Economic stimulus and impetus to Singapore caused by the “Belt and Road” initiative by 肖彬 Xiao, Bin

“…China’s strategy on BRI is the re-emergence of the Eurasian continent as the world’s sphere of influence it once was, through infrastructure development of Central and West China, as well as increased inter-connectivity of the region through maritime trade. China will oversee the establishment of new financial institutions such as the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB), the Silk Road Fund, and New Development Bank (NDB), which will serve to provide 240 billion (USD) of funds throughout the BRI construction process. …”

Understanding sudden larch death – from epidemiology to host resistance by Dun, H

“…</p> <p>This work aimed to increase our understanding of the epidemiology of P. ramorum through a study of the natural infection processes and disease progression of P. ramorum in JL in south-west Scotland over a multi-year period. The region had suffered an extensive epidemic in 2012 from a highly virulent new lineage (EU2) and a second period of increased spread in spring 2018, which allowed us to examine how P. ramorum infects individual trees and spreads across sites over a prolonged time. …”

Landless in God’s own country: development and perpetual struggles in Kerala by Ramapurath Chemmencheri, S
