Monocyte-derived extracellular vesicles, stimulated by Trypanosoma cruzi, enhance cellular invasion in vitro via activated TGF‐β1 by Ansa-Addo, Ephraim A., Pathak, Paras, McCrossan, Maria V., Volpato Rossi, Izadora, Abdullahi, Mahamed, Stratton, Dan, Lange, Sigrun, Ramirez, Marcel I., Inal, Jameel

“…Host cell lEVs were released through Mtr interaction with host cell lipid raft domains, integrins, and mechanosensitive ion channels, whereupon [Ca2+]cyt increased (50 to 750 nM) within 15 s. lEV release and cell entry of T. cruzi, which increased up to 30 and 60 mpi, respectively, as well as raised actin depolymerization at 60 mpi, were all reduced by TRPC inhibitor, GsMTx‐4. …”

Synthesis of polymeric materials derived from abundant natural feedstocks using non-toxic heavy metals by Navickaite, G

“…The conformational flexibility of the ligand was discussed in relation with varying steric demands, and the bonding environment was contrasted with related bismuth structures, which contain a +3 metal ion with a considerable size difference (<em>r</em>_Sc3+ = 0.745, <em>r</em>_Bi3+ = 1.03 Å).…”

Topochemical cation exchange reactions of Ruddlesden-Popper oxides by Conway, R

“…It was found that modulation of the Mn-site occupancy corresponds to a chequerboard ordering arrangement, which is coupled to the modulation of the equatorial oxygen ion site. MnSrNb2O7 undergoes a transition to an antiferromagnetically ordered state below TN = 39 K, in which the Mn2+ magnetic moments are orientated parallel to the z-axis in a G-type arrangement. …”

Sensorimotor control of Drosophila copulation by Herbert, MR

“…By identifying those lines labelling our cells of interest, not only can we develop a genetic toolkit for manipulating their function, but we can also gain insights into their properties by identifying, for example, the expression of mechanosensitive ion channels such as nompC or the excitatory neurotransmitter ChAT. …”

Compositionally graded alloys fabricated using the laser powder bed fusion technique by Wei, Siyuan

“…The combination of in-situ alloying and compositionally graded alloy is promising to accelerate the composition screening/alloy designing for AM, as it can rapidly examine the printability, micro-/meso-structure, and properties of the AM-produced parts and therefore shorten the time span between conceptualization of new alloys and their deployment in service. …”

Detection of false data injection attacks in smart grid cyber-physical systems by Li, Beibei

“…It is proved that PFDD can detect all these three types of FmDI attacks targeted on buses or super-buses with degrees larger than 1, as long as the deployment of D-FACTS devices covers branches at least containing a spanning tree of the grid graph. The minimum efforts required for activating D-FACTS devices to detect each type of FmDI attacks are respectively evaluated. …”

Tumor cell-intrinsic signals promoting tolerance and adaptation to oncogenic kinase inhibition by Flower, Cameron Timothy

“…The work described in both parts was aided by two MS software solutions I developed: one to automate the generation of targeted acquisition methods for protein phosphosites and pathways of interest, and the other to retain quantitative information from fragment ion spectra with missing values. Together, this thesis reports new connections between cell signaling and kinase inhibitor response, and offers the intriguing hypothesis that SFK signaling may be a conserved barrier for maximally effective targeted cancer therapy.…”

Mechanistic Studies of Interfacial Proton-Coupled Electron Transfer to Molecularly Defined Surface Sites by Lewis, Noah B.

“…With these observations we construct a mechanistic model in which I-PCET is not a single step, but a multi-step reaction sequence in which elementary I-PCET is gated by an ion exchange reaction between proton donor/acceptor species and proton-neutral supporting electrolyte at the electrode-electrolyte interface. …”
