Transcriptional brain networks and their key regulators across the human lifespan by Wehrspaun, CC

“…The dynamics of global network metrics indicated strong coordination of expression across the lifespan compared to similar variance within age groups. This work shows that the transcriptome of human post-mortem brains at least partially preserves the network structure of cell types and functionally related genes, and how it may be dissected using suitable combinations of bioinformatic algorithms.…”

Distinctive antibody responses to Mycobacterium tuberculosis in pulmonary and brain infection by Spatola, M, Nziza, N, Irvine, EB, Cizmeci, D, Jung, W, Van, LH, Nhat, LTH, Ha, VTN, Phu, NH, Nghia, HDT, Thwaites, GE, Lauffenburger, DA, Fortune, S, Thuong, NTT, Alter, G

“…<br> Collectively, these data point to functionally divergent humoral responses depending on the site of infection (i.e. lungs versus brain) and demonstrate a highly compartmentalized <i>M. tuberculosis</i>-specific antibody response within the CSF in TBM. …”

The art of 'none' to 'nur' : meditating loss in relation to Islamic aesthetics and spirituality within mosque spaces in contemporary Singapore by Muhammad Noor Iskandar Othman

“…Where sentient experience of the researcher is central, the research oscillates between a two-track exploration —a hermeneutic analysis of past scholarship as well as a heuristic visual exploration as autoethnographical approach; in an attempt to reclaim beauty in losing. The reflexive posture in visually encountering the loss within mosque — in seeing, reading and responding through art will culminate unto an experimental artwork and cartographic journal entitled Nur and Journur respectively. …”
