PPARβ/δ agonism upregulates forkhead box A2 to reduce inflammation in C2C12 myoblasts and in skeletal muscle by Phua, Wendy Wen Ting, Tan, Wei Ren, Yip, Yun Sheng, Hew, Ivan Dongzheng, Wee, Jonathan Wei Kiat, Cheng, Hong Sheng, Leow, Melvin Khee Shing, Wahli, Walter, Tan, Nguan Soon

“…Using PPARβ/δ agonist GW501516 upregulates FoxA2, which in turn, attenuates the production of proinflammatory cytokines and reduces the infiltration of CD45+ immune cells in two mouse models of muscle inflammation, systemic LPS and intramuscular injection of carrageenan, which mimic localized exercise-induced inflammation. …”

Mechanisms of Yersinia YopO kinase substrate specificity by Lee, Wei Lin, Singaravelu, Pavithra, Wee, Sheena, Xue, Bo, Ang, Khay Chun, Gunaratne, Jayantha, Grimes, Jonathan M., Swaminathan, Kunchithapadam, Robinson, Robert C.

“…Yersiniae modulate and evade host immune defences through injection of Yersinia outer proteins (Yops) into phagocytic cells. One of the Yops, YopO (also known as YpkA) obstructs phagocytosis through disrupting actin filament regulation processes - inhibiting polymerization-promoting signaling through sequestration of Rac/Rho family GTPases and by using monomeric actin as bait to recruit and phosphorylate host actin-regulating proteins. …”

Matrix polysaccharides and SiaD diguanylate cyclase alter community structure and competitiveness of Pseudomonas aeruginosa during dual-species biofilm development with Staphylococ... by Chew, Su Chuen, Yam, Joey Kuok Hoong, Matysik, Artur, Seng, Zi Jing, Klebensberger, Janosch, Givskov, Michael, Doyle, Patrick, Rice, Scott A., Yang, Liang, Kjelleberg, Staffan

“…Our data suggest that the competitive effect of Psl is not associated with its structural role in cross-linking the matrix and adhering to P. aeruginosa cells but is instead mediated through the activation of the diguanylate cyclase SiaD. …”

Learning-based robot navigation in dynamic environments: from indoor scenes to human crowd scenes by Jiang, Haoge

“…The results demonstrate that our proposed model outperforms the original model in terms of route planning capabilities. To counter more dynamic indoor situations, our improved work named iTD3-CLN was proposed, which is a DRL-based low-level motion controller, that mainly focuses on map-less autonomous navigation in indoor dynamic scenes. …”
