An epigenetic analysis of planarian stem cells by Dattani, A

“…We also present preliminary evidence to suggest that ATAC-seq on planarian cells can identify both transcriptionally permissive gene promoters, at least in differentiated cells, as well as putative enhancers that correlate with expression of neighbouring genes. …”

Cytoophidium complexes resonate with cell fates by Li, Y, Liu, J

“…In 2010, we discovered that the metabolic enzyme CTP synthase (CTPS) can assemble a snake like structure inside cells, which we call the cytoophidium. Including CTPS, an increasing number of metabolic enzymes have been found to form cytoophidia in cells. …”

Overparenting and psychological well-being among Asian American young adults: the role of gender & parent-child conflict by Koh, Cheryl Jie Xin

“…Gender differences were also found where females who experienced overparenting were more likely to experience higher levels of parent-child conflict and this was associated with higher levels of depression. The findings suggest that Asian Americans are at risk for poorer psychological well-being when they experience overparenting and that females who experience overparenting may experience higher risk of depression than males, highlighting the need for targeted interventions.…”

RNA interference silencing of interleukin-6 in mesenchymal stromal cells and antitumour efficacy against multiple myeloma cells by Teoh, Hoon Koon

“…In conclusion, both RNAi pathways were equally effective in suppressing IL-6 expression in MSC and displayed in vitro and in vivo antitumor efficacy against U266 cells. These findings support the feasibility of using RNAi as an alternative approach for targeted suppression of IL-6 in MSC to inhibit multiple myeloma cell growth.…”

Enhanced restoration of visual code after targeting ON bipolar cells compared to retinal ganglion cells with optogenetic therapy by Rogers, J, Hughes, S, Ebrahimi, A, Allen, A, Storchi, R, Lindner, M, Peirson, S, Badea, T, Hankins, M, Lucas, R

“…Optogenetic therapy is a promising vision restoration method where light-sensitive opsins are introduced to the surviving inner retina following photoreceptor degeneration. The cell type targeted for opsin expression will likely influence the quality of restored vision. …”

The Architectural Layout of Long-Term Care Units: Relationships between Support for Residents’ Well-Being and for Caregivers’ Burnout and Resilience by Rom, Yifat, Morag, Ido, Palgi, Yuval, Isaacson, Michal

“…The findings underscore the role of the architectural layout of long-term care units in enhancing residents’ well-being; the results also highlight the possible unintentional yet negative impact of the layout on the caregivers’ burnout and resilience. …”

Nanoparticle-induced chemoresistance: the emerging modulatory effects of engineered nanomaterials on human intestinal cancer cell redox metabolic adaptation by Wu, Zhuoran, Setyawati, Magdiel Inggrid, Lim, Hong Kit, Ng, Kee Woei, Tay, Chor Yong

“…Transcriptome profiling, bioinformatics analysis and siRNA gene knockdown experiments revealed the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) as the key modulator of the ZnO NP-induced drug resistance. Our findings suggest that a ROS-inducing ENM can emerge as a nano-stressor, capable of regulating the chemosensitivity of colon cancer cells.…”

Vascular tissue engineering: investigation of endothelial cell function by Heng, Jolyn Xiuhui

“…In this study, defined polycaprolactone (PCL) nanofibers of different fiber diameters were treated with NaOH and adsorbed with gelatin to investigate cell attachment efficiency and growth rate. The findings revealed that gelatin adsorbed surfaces does not favour EC proliferation well and led to performing the next modification which is 1 M NaOH treatment for 4 h, 16 h, and 24 h for the PCL surfaces. 1 M NaOH treatment was first performed to improve the hydrophilicity of PCL. …”
