Three-dimensional hydraulic modeling of particle deposition on the patterned isopore membrane in crossflow microfiltration by Choi, Dong-Chan, Jung, Seon-Yeop, Won, Young-June, Jang, Jun Hee, Lee, Jaewoo, Chae, Hee-Ro, Ahn, Kyung Hyun, Lee, Sangho, Park, Pyung-Kyu, Lee, Chung-Hak

“…Particularly, the ratio of crossflow velocity to pore water flux mostly governed the extent of particle depositions (i.e., membrane fouling) on the patterned membrane surface and 3-D modeling based on computational fluid dynamics was also conducted to predict the formation of two distinct stream lines (bulk and vortex) and elucidate the mechanisms of anti-fouling characteristics of patterned membranes.…”

Interleukin-26 (IL-26) is a novel anti-microbial peptide produced by T cells in response to staphylococcal enterotoxin by Woetmann, Anders, Alhede, Morten, Dabelsteen, Sally, Bjarnsholt, Thomas, Rybtke, Morten, Nastasi, Claudia, Krejsgaard, Thorbjørn, Andersen, Mads Hald, Bonefeld, Charlotte M., Geisler, Carsten, Givskov, Michael, Odum, Niels

“…Here we show that (i) skin T cells in chronic wounds infected with S. aureus express interleukin-26 (IL-26) in situ, (ii) staphylococcal enterotoxins (SE) trigger IL-26 expression in T cell lines and primary skin T cells, and (iii) IL-26 triggers death and inhibits biofilm formation and growth of S. aureus. …”

Multidimensional identification of tissue biomarkers of gastric cancer by Guo, Tiannan, Fan, Lingling, Ng, Wai Har, Zhu, Yi, Ho, Mengfatt, Wan, Wei Keat, Lim, Kiat Hon, Ong, Whee Sze, Lee, Sze Sing, Huang, Shiang, Kon, Oi Lian, Sze, Siu Kwan

“…Recognizing that interrogating plasma membrane proteins individually overlooks extensive interactions among them, we have systematically investigated the membrane proteomes and transcriptomes of six gastric cancer cell lines. Our data revealed aberrantly high expression of proteins whose functions accurately reflect the clinical phenotype of gastric cancer, and prioritized critical RTKs and CD proteins in gastric cancer. …”

Nebular dominated galaxies: insights into the stellar initial mass function at high redshift by Cameron, AJ, Katz, H, Witten, C, Saxena, A, Laporte, N, Bunker, A

“…In contrast, modelling the spectrum as primarily nebular provides a good fit to both the continuum and emission lines, motivating scenarios in which (a) we are observing only nebular emission or (b) the ionizing source is powering extreme nebular emission that outshines the stellar emission. …”

Investigating the contribution of the unfolded protein response to prostate cancer bone metastasis by Kaya, Z

“…Using paired androgen refractory cancer of the prostate (ARCaP) cell lines ARCaPE and ARCaPM which differ in their epithelial (E) and mesenchymal (M) characteristics, I found that components of IRE1 and ATF6 ER stress pathways are higher in ARCaPE cells than in ARCaPM and decreased upon osteogenic differentiation of ARCaPM cells. …”

The role of SPRTN protease in colorectal cancer chemotherapy by Peron, C

“…First, a preclinical study with three different colorectal cancer cell lines was performed to address if SPRTN depletion could make cells more sensitive to the aforementioned drugs. …”

Engineering control of rhizobacteria for plant growth promotion by Green, PWL

“…The rhizopine system was used to demonstrate tight transcriptional control of the NifA master transcriptional regulator of <em>nif</em> genes for nitrogen fixation <em>in vitro</em>, thereby developing a rhizopine responsive diazotrophic strain which can be assayed for plant growth promotion on rhizopine producing barley lines. To test the feasibility of controlled synthetic symbiosis in a nodule environment, rhizopine control of nitrogen fixation was assayed in the model symbiotic rhizobium <em>S. meliloti</em>. …”

Clonal phylogenies inferred from bulk, single cell, and spatial transcriptomic analysis of epithelial cancers by Erickson, A, Figiel, S, Rajakumar, T, Rao, S, Yin, W, Doultsinos, D, Magnussen, A, Singh, R, Poulose, N, Bryant, RJ, Cussenot, O, Hamdy, FC, Woodcock, D, Mills, IG, Lamb, AD

“…We first performed in-silico comparisons of inferred and directly resolved SNV and CNV status, from single cancer cells, from three different cell lines. We found that inferred SNV phylogenies accurately recapitulate DNA phylogenies (entanglement = 0.097). …”

Physical properties of keropok (fried crisps) in relation to the amylopectin content of the starch flours by Mohamed, Suhaila, Abdullah, Norakiah, Muthu, Mangayar Karasi

“…Linear expansion, oil absorption and elasticity were positively correlated to the total amylopectin content in the whole flour (r2 = 0.99, 0.97 and 0.97 respectively). The best fitted lines for prediction of linear expansion, oil absorption and elasticity of the fried crisps were 21y ≦ 0.35x ‐ 162, y=0.15x‐ 74 and y=0.0008x‐0.41 respectively, where x is the amylopectin content of the whole flour. …”
