The impact of different acidic conditions and food substrates on <i>Listeria </i><i>monocytogenes</i> biofilms development and removal using nanoencapsulated carvacrol by Jina Yammine (17317048)

“…In food substrates, nanoencapsulated carvacrol induced lower log reductions (1.58–2.90) than the ones in TSB (2.02–3.61). These findings provide valuable insights into the impact of different acidic conditions on the development of <i>L. monocytogenes</i> biofilms on stainless steel surfaces and the potential application of nanoencapsulated carvacrol as a biofilm control agent in food processing environments.…”

Notch Signaling Inhibition by LY411575 Attenuates Osteoblast Differentiation and Decreased Ectopic Bone Formation Capacity of Human Skeletal (Mesenchymal) Stem Cells by Nihal AlMuraikhi (6002234)

“…Among the tested molecules, LY411575, a potent γ-secretase and Notch signaling inhibitor, exhibited significant inhibitory effects on osteoblastic differentiation of hBMSCs manifested by reduced ALP activity, mineralized matrix formation, and decreased osteoblast-specific gene expression as well as in vivo ectopic bone formation. …”

Novel role of BRCA1 interacting C‐terminal helicase 1 (<i>BRIP1</i>) in breast tumour cell invasion by Balsam Rizeq (14779402)

“…Using a combination of cellular and molecular approaches, our results revealed differential overexpression of <i>BRIP1</i> in different BC cell lines. Functional assays validated further the physiological relevance of <i>BRIP1</i> in tumour malignancy, and siRNA-mediated <i>BRIP1</i> knockdown significantly reduced BC cell motility by targeting key motility-associated genes. …”

Deletion of <i>RFX6</i> impairs iPSC-derived islet organoid development and survival, with no impact on PDX1⁺/NKX6.1⁺ progenitors by Noura Aldous (15429873)

“…Single-cell analysis revealed high RFX6 expression levels in endocrine clusters across various hESC-derived pancreatic differentiation stages. Upon differentiating iPSCs lacking RFX6 into pancreatic islets, a significant decrease in PDX1 expression at the PF stage was observed, although this did not affect PPs co-expressing PDX1 and NKX6.1. …”

A slow but steady nanoLuc: R162A mutation results in a decreased, but stable, nanoLuc activity by Wesam S. Ahmed (10170053)

“…In this regard, engineering of brighter bioluminescent proteins, i.e. luciferases, has played a significant role. This is acutely exemplified by the engineering of the NLuc <u>luciferase</u>, which is small in size and displays much enhanced bioluminescence and<u> thermal stability</u> compared to previously available luciferases. …”
