Methods for the Study of Galactofuranose in Mycobacteria by Taylor, Katherine I.

“…However, it is conspicuously absent from human cells, thus establishing its biosynthetic pathways as important potential drug targets. Our knowledge about the biological roles of galactofuranose in cells is hampered by a dearth of methods by which to study it. …”

Construction and characterization of a Lactococcus lactis in-trans surface display system harboring murine glycosylated tyrosinase related protein-2 by Kalyanasundram, Jeevanathan

“…The Generally Regarded as Safe (GRAS) status of LAB such as Lactococcus lactis coupled with non-recombinant strategy of in-trans surface display system, provide a safe platform for therapeutic drug and vaccine development. However, therapeutic proteins fused with cell-wall anchoring motif production are predominantly limited to prokaryotic expression system. …”

Carbon nanomaterial/thermoplastic polyurethane composites for sports application : preparation, characterization and simulation by Jing, Qifei

“…Polycaprolactone diol (PCL), as one of PU’s monomers in this work, and was selectively used to functionalize MWCNTs to prepare MWCNT-PCL so as to realize a good compatibility between the nanofillers and PU matrix. Besides, the raw MWCNTs and carboxylic acid groups functionalized MWCNTs (MWCNT-COOH) served as control. …”

Colloidal quantum dot light-emitting diode architectures for high performance by Leck, Kheng Swee

“…In addition, in the thesis, we used gallium-doped zinc oxide (GZO) to replace tin-doped indium oxide (ITO) used as the electrode in QD-LEDs due to the increasingly expensive raw materials of ITO. The lowest sheet resistance and resistivity of the radio-frequency (RF) sputtered GZO films are 12.28 Ω/□ and 9.48×10-4 Ω·cm, respectively, comparable to those of commercial grade ITO. …”
