Effects of nnav1.5 expression modulation on mhc I antigen processing machinery and invasion potential of breast cancer cells by Din, Ahmad Hafiz Murtadha Noor

“…Loss of immune surveillance enables cancer cells to metastasize hence this study is to explore the possible role of nNav1.5 in regulating the expression of immune components, MHC I antigen processing machinery (APM), which is deregulated in breast cancer. Several reports link VGSC and APM in neurons, but the correlation between nNav1.5 and APM in breast cancer is unknown. …”

Establishment of optimise strategies in production of recombinant Hepatitis B surface antigen for chip-based antibody detection approach by Tam, Yew Joon

“…The main results drawn showed that the IEC Q Sepharose XL column and optimum conditions of 4 mL sample loading volume, an elution buffer with 1.5 M NaCl concentration at pH 8 with an elution gradient length of 20 column volume and subsequent purification with SEC at a sample volume of 5 mL and a flow rate of 1 mL/min was able to efficiently purify HBsAg. An up-scaled version the established purification strategy comprising of the two techniques further demonstrated adaptability for scale-up operations with a final total PF of 94.82 ± 16.20, HBsAg purity of 95.48% and recovery yield of 78.07%. …”

Phase measurements based indoor visible light positioning systems by Zhang, Sheng

“…As the GPS signals have severe multi-path effects and strong signal attenuations in indoor buildings, visible light with its line of sight (LOS) property and fewer reflections and diffractions gains advantages in the positioning accuracy over other RF-based techniques.There are several positioning algorithms, the simplest one in structure is the received signal strength (RSS) which has good signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) property, but is not feasible in situations with rotations and intensity disturbance. …”

Conformational design characterization of a truncated diamine oxidase by Razali, Nur Nadia

“…By maintaining the native protein’s pH profile, the mini protein was highly active at 40 °C and stable at pH 7, with a half-life of 80 min at 50 °C. Results from the kinetic studies showed that the Km value for native diamine oxidase was 0.274 mM and 1.3 mM for the mini protein. …”

The prospective associations of 24-hour movement behaviors and domain-specific activities with executive function and academic achievement among school-aged children in Singapore by Padmapriya, Natarajan, Bernard, Jonathan Y., Tan, Sarah Yi Xuan, Chu, Anne H. Y., Goh, Claire Marie Jie Lin, Tan, Shuen Lin, Shek, Lynette P., Chong, Yap Seng, Tan, Kok Hian, Chan, Shiao-Yng, Yap, Fabian, Godfrey, Keith M., Lee, Yung Seng, Meaney, Michael J., Eriksson, Johan G., Tan, Chuen Seng, Law, Evelyn C., Müller-Riemenschneider, Falk

“…Background: Physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB), and sleep are collectively referred to as 24-h movement behaviors, which may be linked to cognitive development in children. However, most of the evidence was based on cross-sectional studies and/or solely relied on parent-reported information on children’s behaviors, and it remains uncertain whether all domains/contexts of PA and SB are similarly associated with executive function and academic achievement. …”
