Role of different dendritic cell subsets in vivo by Abdul Rashid Mohammad Muzaki

“…In a dextran sodium sulphate (DSS) model of colonic inflammation, ablation of CD103+ CD11b- colonic DCs resulted in exacerbated colitis, while ablation of colonic CD103+ CD11b+ DCs resulted in resistance to colitis when subjected to the same DSS regiment. Hence our results highlight the opposing roles of these two distinct colonic DC subsets in controlling DSS-induced colonic inflammation. …”

From private entrepreneurship to state monopoly: contracting Swiss soldiers for Dutch Service under Ancien Régime Fiscal- Military Practices (1693–1829) by Depreter, M

“…This contribution examines Dutch contracting practices to hire Swiss troops during the Ancien Régime, from the first contracts directly negotiated in the Protestant cantons by Petrus Valckenier (1693-1694) during the Nine Years’ War, seizing opportunities arisen from Louis XIV’s revocation of the Edict of Nantes (1685) after a period during which the Dutch seem to have relied on uncertain access to Swiss manpower through French intercession, up to the end of a short-lived revival of Swiss foreign regiments in the newly-instated Kingdom of the Netherlands (1814-1829). …”

The role of SPRTN protease in colorectal cancer chemotherapy by Peron, C

“…The first-line treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) is frequently based on combination chemotherapeutic regimens, where 5-fluorouracil is either associated with irinotecan (FOLFIRI) or oxaliplatin (FOLFOX). Both these regiments present similar level of efficacy, and both irinotecan and oxaliplatin have been reported as drugs with the potential to induce relevant amounts of DNA-protein crosslinks (DPCs), a heterogeneous form of DNA lesion in which proteins end up being covalently bound to the DNA. …”

Interactive learning on simple infra-red transceiver by Chee, Danielle Yan Kei

“…This project is made of two main parts, which would be a hardware segment and a software segment. The hardware segment involves an infra-red remote that transmits a modulated message signal and a receiver system that senses infra-red light and demodulates the incoming signal. …”
