The role of the reticulocyte-binding-like protein homologues of Plasmodium in erythrocyte sensing and invasion by Gunalan, Karthigayan, Gao, Xiaohong, Yap, Sally Shu Lin, Huang, Ximei, Preiser, Peter Rainer

“…Two parasite protein families termed reticulocyte-binding-like protein homologues (RBL) and the erythrocyte-binding-like (EBL) protein family are conserved in all Plasmodium species and have been shown to play an important role in host cell recognition and invasion. Over the last few years significant new insights have been gained in understanding the function of the RBL family and this review attempts to provide an update with a specific focus on the role of RBL in signal transduction pathways during invasion.…”

ProteoSign: an end-user online differential proteomics statistical analysis platform by Efstathiou, G, Antonakis, AN, Pavlopoulos, GA, Theodosiou, T, Divanach, P, Trudgian, DC, Thomas, B, Papanikolaou, N, Aivaliotis, M, Acuto, O, Iliopoulos, I

“…Profiling of proteome dynamics is crucial for understanding cellular behavior in response to intrinsic and extrinsic stimuli and maintenance of homeostasis. Over the last 20 years, mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as the most powerful tool for large-scale identification and characterization of proteins. …”

Back to basics with teacher recruitment: what do STEM undergraduates want? by Snell, RJS, Klassen, RM, Thompson-Lee, S, Wang, H

“…The recruitment of undergraduate students in England into teacher education is a recognised challenge with recruitment targets having been missed in nine of the last 10 years. The recruitment shortfalls are most acute within STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) subjects. …”

Applications of classification of C*-algebras by Neagu, R-M

“…In the tracial case, we obtain similar results for all finite classifiable C^∗-algebras with real rank zero.</p> <br> <p>In the last chapter, we use classification techniques involving the trace-kernel extension to show that the property that all amenable traces are quasidiagonal is invariant under homotopy for separable exact C^∗-algebras that have a faithful amenable trace.…”
