Myth ascendant: issues of culture, media, and identity in the celebrity career of Glenn Gould by Campbell, A

“…This approach is refined through the application of Stuart Hall’s 'Circuit of Culture' model, which yields an understanding of Gould's celebrity in terms of the processes of its representation, production, regulation, and consumption. Against this theoretical backdrop, and consistent with the premise of my thesis, I ask some key questions: what was Gould's relationship to Canadian cultural nationalism and, specifically, a nationalist discourse of public broadcasting? …”

Functional characterisation of multiple sclerosis-­associated single nucleotide polymorphisms in the Eomesodermin region by Leach, O

“…Imputation analysis enabled detection of new variants, which aligned with regions of epigenetic significance and possible regions of DNA-interaction, implying an effect on regulation of gene expression. </p> <p>Subsequently, Eomes expression was characterised in peripheral blood cell populations, with the highest expression detected in natural killer cells and effector/memory T cell subsets, including MAIT cells, an innate-like lymphocyte population. …”

Due regard obligations in the law of the sea convention by Fasia, EE

“…Further, the analysis on interstitiality demonstrates that DROs serve as an organising principle of the LOSC, facilitating the consideration even of issues not explicitly regulated in the Convention. Lastly, the thesis makes a normative proposition that due regard should be viewed as a way to resolve broader law of the sea questions beyond the realm of the LOSC.…”

Immune checkpoint blockade sensitivity and progression-free survival associates with baseline CD8+ T cell clone size and cytotoxicity by Watson, RA, Tong, O, Cooper, R, Taylor, CA, Sharma, PK, de Los Aires, AV, Mahé, EA, Ruffieux, H, Nassiri, I, Middleton, MR, Fairfax, BP

“…At the level of CD8⁺&nbsp;T cell clonotypes, we found a relationship between transcriptional changes and clone size, with large clones showing a greater number of differentially regulated genes enriched for pathways including T cell receptor (TCR) signaling. …”

The molecular pathogenesis of FUS mutations in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis using in vivo and in vitro models by Kent, L

Understanding the role of Enterococcus faecalis in polymicrobial wounds by Davient, Bala

“…Taken together, based on the experiments performed in this dissertation, I propose that the MPT system may not be directly regulating E. faecalis T7SS gene expression, but indirectly, likely through sensing the energy status of the cell. …”

PPARβ/δ prevents endoplasmic reticulum stress-associated inflammation and insulin resistance in skeletal muscle cells through an AMPK-dependent mechanism by Salvadó, Laia, Barroso, Emma, Gómez-Foix, Anna Maria, Palomer, Xavier, Michalik, Liliane, Wahli, Walter, Vázquez-Carrera, Manuel

“…Our findings demonstrate that PPARβ/δ activation prevents ER stress through the activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), and the subsequent inhibition of extracellular-signal-regulated kinase (ERK)1/2 due to the inhibitory crosstalk between AMPK and ERK1/2, since overexpression of a dominant negative AMPK construct (K45R) reversed the effects attained by PPARβ/δ activation. …”
