Advances in the chemistry of base-stabilized germanium(I) compounds towards C-C bond formation by Ong, Melissa Xin Yi

“…The small energy difference between the HOMO and LUMO facilitates their capability of transition-metal like reactivity in small molecules activation. In Chapter 2, the synthesis of base-stabilized germanium(I) dimers and their application toward C-C bond formation of α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compounds was reported. …”

Vitamin D modulates human macrophage response to Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA by Cervantes, Jorge L., Oak, Esther, Garcia, John, Liu, Hongfei, Lorenzini, Paolo A., Batra, Deepika, Chhabra, Arvind, Salazar, Juan C., Roca, Xavier

“…Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a facultative intracellular pathogen that infects macrophages where it avoids elimination by interfering with host defense mechanisms, including phago-lysosome fusion. Endosomal Toll-like receptors (TLRs) generate Type I Interferons (IFNs), which are associated with active tuberculosis (TB). …”

Nitrifying niche differentiation in biofilms from full-scale chloraminated drinking water distribution system by Cruz, Mercedes Cecilia, Woo, Yissue, Flemming, Hans-Curt, Wuertz, Stefan

“…In cluster HD, with more biomass, chemical reactions involving nitrite increased the MCA demand, releasing ammonia and allowing more nitrifiers to grow, like AOA and NOB. From this study, we conclude that an MCA residual gradient along the DWDS drives and shapes the microbial community assembly and should be considered when designing effective disinfection strategies.…”
