Mef2c regulates the morphology and synapse formation of cerebellar Purkinje cells by Poon, Dennis Jun Jie

Together, these result indicate that Mef2c plays crucial roles in the development and maintenance of cerebellar Purkinje cells and could serve as a potential target for therapeutic intervention for cerebellum linked neurological disorders.…”

Finding meaning behind immortality of Anne Rice’s vampires. by Nurhayati Zakaria.

“…This paper investigates the alluring appeal of immortality through the exploration of humans’ instinctive anxieties against death; it shows how experience in life shapes an individual’s personality and character which in turn is fossilized and magnified during his or her immortal existence; and finally illustrates how the very nature of being trapped in a state of arrested development renders the disenchanted vampire’s perspective of immortality as one that is more limiting rather than liberating.…”

‘Liege lady’: Queen Victoria’s political medievalism by Broome Saunders, C

“…It will explore the political implications of this consistent use of the language, settings, conventions and constrictions of nineteenth-century medievalism throughout Victoria’s reign: from the powerful impotence of the girl-queen’s accession speech, as explored in Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s contemporary poetry; the matron-queen’s casting of her consort as the ideal English knight in portraiture and sculpture, and most obviously in elegiac work after his death. By contrast, suffragists and suffragettes at the end of the century had recourse to medievalism to articulate their struggle for political rights, from the pervasive use of Joan of Arc as the militant woman’s ideal, to the complex historicism of Cicely Hamilton’s <i>A Pageant of Great Women</> (1910).…”
