Analysis of subtelomeric virulence gene families in Plasmodium falciparum by comparative transcriptional profiling by Witmer, Kathrin, Schmid, Christoph D., Brancucci, Nicolas M. B., Luah, Yen-Hoon, Preiser, Peter Rainer, Bozdech, Zbynek, Voss, Till S.

“…Here, we analysed promoters of upsA, upsB and upsC var, rifA1-type rif, stevor, phist and pfmc-2tm genes and investigated their role in endogenous gene transcription by comparative genome-wide expression profiling of transgenic parasite lines. We find that the three major var promoter types are functionally equal and play an essential role in singular gene choice. …”

Elucidating the size-dependency of in vitro digested polystyrene microplastics on human intestinal cells health and function by Ma, Yiyuan, Koh, Cheryl Jie Yan, Lim, Hong Kit, Shi, Pujiang, Tay, Chor Yong

“…Herein, the potential deleterious biological effects of pristine and in vitro digested polystyrene (PS) MPs of varying sizes (i.e., 0.1, 1, and 10 µm) are systematically examined over a wide concentration range of 25–400 µg mL−1 on two human intestinal cell lines, namely Caco-2 and NCM 460. Specifically, significant internalization of 0.1 and 1 µm PS -MPs have been observed in both cell types 24 h postexposure. …”

Luteolin restricts dengue virus replication through inhibition of the proprotein convertase furin by Peng, Minhua, Watanabe, Satoru, Chan, Kitti Wing Ki, He, Qiuyan, Zhao, Ya, Zhang, Zhongde, Lai, Xiaoping, Luo, Dahai, Vasudevan, Subhash G., Li, Geng

“…In addition, ADE-mediated dengue virus infection of human cell lines and primary PBMCs was inhibited. In a time-of-drug-addition study, luteolin was found to reduce infectious virus particle formation, but not viral RNA synthesis, in Huh-7 cells. …”

Euclidean terms in European languages, 1482–1703 by Wardhaugh, B

“…As well as the intrinsic interest of the formation and stabilization of a Euclidean tradition in these languages, the wide visibility of Euclidean material in the period makes it likely that the terminological choices made by early translators were influential in the wider formation of mathematical vocabularies in the languages concerned. …”
