Investigating the role of CDK1 in governing the transcriptional landscape in cancer cells by Pluta, AJ

“…The work described in this thesis aimed to test the hypothesis that CDK1 dysregulation contributes to transcriptional re-programming during tumorigenesis by imposing a stem cell-like gene expression programme. An elegant method of examining this role is through the use of cell lines expressing an ATP analogue-sensitive CDK1 (AS-CDK1), which allows for rapid and specific inhibition of the kinase. …”

Evaluation of rabies awareness and the population dynamics of free-roaming and owned dogs in Herat city, Afghanistan by Nasiry, Zabihullah

“…Although the dog density is considered low, the dog bites rate and economic costs are considerable, so it still warrants caution since a proportion of the population is not well-versed about dogs and their importance of them in the transmission of zoonotic diseases like rabies. The information generated by this research can help to identify considerations for the design and implementation of dogs and rabies control programs.…”
