Characterization of artemisinin resistance in plasmodium falciparum by Rocamora, Frances Maureen C.

“…In order to better understand the Artemisinin resistance phenotype, we developed Artemisinin-resistant parasite lines derived from two isogenic clones (6A and 11C) of the 3D7 strain of Plasmodium falciparum using a selection regimen that mimics how parasites interact with the drug in infected patients. …”

Settling velocity of a porous object by Cheryl Lim Ling

“…One such model is Brinkman’s extension of Darcy’s Law (Neale, Epstein, & Nader, 1973), which has been proven effective for modelling the sedimentation of porous objects. However, it is only applicable in the limiting case of the creeping flow region, where Reynolds number is less than unity. …”

Using Sequenom to identify KRAS mutations in an Asian cohort of ovarian mucinous cancer by Tiong, Wen Ning

“…While there are distinct differences between mucinous epithelial ovarian cancer (mEOC) and the other subtypes of EOC, a standard treatment regimen is followed for all EOC histotypes. KRAS mutations have been observed to occur in relatively high frequencies of 50-60% in mEOC but not in other subtypes of EOC in at least three clinical studies. …”

First-line chemotherapy for advanced ovarian cancer: paclitaxel, cisplatin and the evidence by Sandercock, J, Parmar, MKB, Torri, V

“…Two of the reported trials (GOG-111 and the Intergroup trial) provide clear evidence that cisplatin combined with paclitaxel is a more effective regimen than one using the same dose of cisplatin combined with cyclophosphamide. …”

A systems biology approach to define SARS-CoV-2 correlates of protection in non-human primates by Brady, C

“…Novel predictors of protection included low peripheral intermediate monocyte prevalence during the vaccination regimen and low seasonal coronavirus IgG at baseline - parameters which also predicted high spike IgG titres post- vaccination. …”

Effects of turbidity on marine organisms by Leong, Bernice.

“…High coastal activities like dredging, shipping, coastal construction and land reclamation have contributed to sedimentation which modifies the quality of sea water and destroys marine habitats. …”

Sequential phreatomagmatic eruptions during the lateral propagation of giant dyke swarms by Pryce, E, Cartwright, J, Kirkham, C, Phillips, D

“…Craters are flanked by a tephra apron comprising reworked chalky sediments. The well data allow us to exclude crater forming mechanisms based on collapse into a void, but are consistent with those linked to phreatomagmatic eruption. …”

Hollow microcapsules as periocular drug depot for sustained release of anti-VEGF protein by Radhakrishnan, Krishna, Vincent, Anita, Joseph, Rini Rachel, Moreno, Miguel, Dickescheid, Andreas, Agrawal, Rupesh, Venkatraman, Subbu S.

Transformation by-product identification from oxidation processes of waters containing model organic micropollutants (Nonylphenol) by Toh, Jewell Zi Le

“…Nonylphenol accumulates in environmental matrices with high organic content, such as sewage sludge, river works, and sediments, and persists in soil and groundwater due to its physical-chemical features, such as poor solubility and high hydrophobicity, hence it should be removed through water disinfection before consumption. …”

Elucidating the role of metabolic changes in modulating cell fate following treatment with anti-mitotic drugs by Wong, Alex Xing Fah

“…Better understanding of the cellular pathways underlying this escape from antimitotic drug-induced cell death, known as mitotic slippage, is crucial for development of combinatorial therapies that can enhance existing treatment regimen in patients. Mitotic slippage describes a phenomenon where cells escape mitotic arrest and cell death following treatment with anti-mitotic drugs, and "slip" into interphase without proper chromosome segregation and cytokinesis. …”
