The role of bidirectional nucleocytoplasmic transport in apoptosis by Chan, Kheng Sze

“…Apoptosis or programmed cell death is a tightly controlled process regulated by many signaling pathways; however, the mechanisms and cellular events that decide whether a cell lives or dies remain poorly understood. Here I showed that when a cell is under apoptotic stress, the pro-survival protein Survivin redistributes from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, thus acting as a physiological switch to commit the cell to apoptosis. …”

High-performance asymmetric supercapacitor based on CNT-graphene hybrid gel and MnO2-graphene hybrid gel by Bay, Alvin Koon Teck

“…In theory, by utilizing two different composite materials, namely the carbon nanotube-graphene hybrid gel (CNT-GHG) and manganese oxide-graphene hybrid gel (MGHG), the asymmetric supercapacitor will be able to benefit from the advantageous properties that each of them can offer and mitigate weaknesses that the individual components have when operating independently. Various tests such as cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge-discharge techniques and field emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) have been used to characterize the materials and evaluate their performance. …”
