Key transcriptional regulators of neutrophil function in inflammation by Ai, Z

“…</p> <p>To investigate the regulatory role of the selected TFs in neutrophils, I utilised HoxB8 myeloid progenitors as a model system for in vitro production of neutrophils and generated stable knockout lines for JUNB, RELB, IRF5, RFX2, KLF6, and RUNX1 in Hoxb8 myeloid progenitors, using the CRISPR/Cas9 mediated system. …”

BRCA1 regulation of breast cancer cell motility by Hernandez Nuñez, ZE

“…Time-lapse microscopy of breast cancer cell lines with various BRCA1 backgrounds was employed to evaluate the impact of inhibiting ubiquitin ligase activity. …”

How are cognitive maps formed and encoded in humans? by Glitz, L

“…In Chapter 4, we find evidence for the latter, with trajectory training resulting in neural encoding of the map that is more similar to separate transitive lines along rows and columns, the extent of which is related to behavioural accuracy. …”

Nanoparticles enhanced laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy for characterisation and discrimination of gemstones by Al-Juboori, Haider, Haider, Zhaib, Hang, Wei, Roslan, Sufi

“…Results have shown a significant enhancement in spectral features, i.e., the emergence of several new spectral lines of major gemstone elements in the UV-Vis regions of the NELIBS spectra, while the CLIBS spectra were devoid of any meaningful spectral information. …”
