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

“…This reduced local inflammatory response limits tissue damage and restores muscle tetanic contraction. In line with these results, a deficiency in either PPARβ/δ or FoxA2 diminishes the action of the PPARβ/δ agonist GW501516 to suppress an aggravated inflammatory response. …”

Effects of Sub1 and qDTY on the agro-morpho-physiological traits of rice (Oryza sativa L.) under reproductive stage drought stress by Shakirah Mohammad Nahar, Nur Sakinah Mohd Yusri, Asmuni Mohd Ikmal, Noraziyah Abd Aziz Shamsudin, Siti Nurfaeiza Abd Razak, Pui, Maggie San Sudo, Song, Beng-Kah, Bey, Hing Goh, Long, Chiau Ming

“…Breeding and screening of drought tolerant varieties are crucial to ensure the continuity of food supply. Two breeding lines, UKM-112 and UKM-114 with QTL(s) for submergence tolerance (Submergence 1 [Sub1]) and yield under drought stress (qDTY) and together with their recurrent parental line, UKM-5, and a drought-sensitive cultivar, MR219 were screened for their agro-morpho-physiological responses under reproductive stage drought stress (RS) and non-stress (NS) to determine how the Sub1 interacts with qDTY in enhancing drought tolerance. …”

Piscidin-1-analogs with double L- and D-lysine residues exhibited different conformations in lipopolysaccharide but comparable anti-endotoxin activities by Kumar, Amit, Mahajan, Mukesh, Awasthi, Bhanupriya, Tandon, Anshika, Harioudh, Munesh Kumar, Shree, Sonal, Singh, Pratiksha, Shukla, Praveen Kumar, Ramachandran, Ravishankar, Mitra, Kalyan, Bhattacharjya, Surajit, Ghosh, Jimut Kanti

“…Piscidin-1-analogs demonstrated higher efficacy than piscidin-1 in inhibiting lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced pro-inflammatory responses in THP-1 cells. T15,21K-piscidin-1 (0.5 mg/Kg) and T15,21dK-piscidin-1 (1.0 mg/Kg) demonstrated 100% survival of LPS (12.0 mg/Kg)-administered mice. …”

Lithium-doped two-dimensional perovskite scintillator for wide-range radiation detection by Xie, Aozhen, Hettiarachchi, Chathuranga, Maddalena, Francesco, Witkowski, Marcin E., Makowski, Michal, Drozdowski, Winicjusz, Arramel, Arramel, Wee, Andrew T. S., Springham, Stuart Victor, Vuong, Phan Quoc, Kim, Hong Joo, Dujardin, Christophe, Coquet, Philippe, Birowosuto, Muhammad Danang, Dang, Cuong

“…Our 1:1 Li-doped (PEA)2PbBr4 demonstrates a fast decay time of 11 ns (80%), a clear photopeak with an energy resolution of 12.4%, and a scintillation yield of 11,000 photons per MeV under 662 keV gamma-ray radiation. Additionally, our Li-doped crystal shows a clear alpha particle/gamma-ray discrimination and promising thermal neutron detection through 6Li enrichment. …”

“…A total of 78 airborne biomass samples from 39 time intervals were analysed, within a temperature range of 48 °C (26 °C to - 22 °C). We observed a 5-170-fold decrease in DNA yield extracted from the airborne biomass in winter compared to summer, nevertheless, yielding sufficient material for metagenomic analysis. …”

Enhanced flotation of high density polyethylene and polyvinyl chloride mixtures based on clean corona modification by Wang, Yinan, Zhao, Yue, Guo, Linyi, Han, Fengrong, Li, Xiaofeng

“…Since the corona modification is reagent-free-addition and rapid in-line process, this work showed great advantages in the total cost of separation (only 450.03 USD/t) and potential environmental benefits, which also paves a clean way for the recycling of HDPE and PVC.…”

Intermittent actuation attenuates fibrotic behaviour of myofibroblasts by Ward, Niamh A., Hanley, Shirley, Tarpey, Ruth, Schreiber, Lucien H.J., O'Dwyer, Joanne, Roche, Ellen T., Duffy, Garry P., Dolan, Eimear B.

“…Here, we use analytical, computational, and in vitro models to understand the response of human myofibroblasts (WPMY-1 stromal cell line) to intermittent actuation using soft robotics and investigate how actuation can alter the secretion of collagen and pro/anti-inflammatory cytokines by these cells. …”

Using shock tube species time-histories in Bayesian parameter estimation: Effective independent-data number and target selection by Chen, Huaibo, Ji, Weiqi, Cassady, Séan J, Ferris, Alison M, Hanson, Ronald K, Deng, Sili

“…This further implies that several critical points can represent the entire line for point estimation. This paper can provide a reference both for modelers about reasonable utilization of species time-histories, and for experimentalists about the importance of a detailed probability distribution of measurement error, as well as experiment design with emphasis on critical points.…”
