Effects of hemodynamic shear stress on circulating tumor cells by How, Yunhan

“…MDA-231-C3 was circulated and recovered repeatedly to obtain a series of flow-selected breast cancer cell lines (231-S1 to 231-S6). The effect of fluid shear stress on CTC survival was studied by quantifying the cell viability and level of apoptosis at 0-hr, 12-hr and 24-hr time points of circulation. …”

Synthesis of biomimetic co-polypeptides with tunable degrees of phosphorylation by Lipik, Vitali, Zhang, Lihong, Miserez, Ali

“…Using analytical assays, including Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR), and Quartz Crystal Microbalance with Dissipation (QCM-D), we demonstrate that these phosphorylated polypeptides exhibit affinity towards divalent ions such as Ca2+, thus opening the door for their usage as scaffolds for mineralized tissue repair or as a major component of biocompatible adhesives.…”

Electrochromic smart window for modulation of infrared heat by Loke, Jie Yi

“…The improved electrochromic performance is due the existence of Nd-Mo co-dopants that restrict the trapping of Li+ ions within the α-WO3 framework. This reduces the degree of crystallization of α-WO3 layer and improves the electronic conductivity by transferring excess electrons to the conduction band of the SnO2. …”

Transition metal doped apatites as inert non-toxic pigments by Seah, Jasmine Si Han

“…While it can be determined that the copper has an average oxidation state of +2, it is difficult to quantify the remaining copper ions and identify the reason for the range of oxidation states and will require further work. …”

Aphid Resistance Segregates Independently of Cardenolide and Glucosinolate Content in an Erysimum cheiranthoides (Wormseed Wallflower) F2 Population by Mirzaei, Mahdieh, Younkin, Gordon C., Powell, Adrian F., Alani, Martin L., Strickler, Susan R., Jander, Georg

“…However, this variation in defensive metabolites could not explain the differences in aphid growth on the two parental lines, suggesting that processes other than the abundance of glucosinolates and cardenolides have a predominant effect on aphid resistance in E. cheiranthoides.…”

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.…”

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. …”
