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

“…However, questions related to its mechanism of interaction with the substrate, furimazine, as well as bioluminescence activity remain elusive. Here, we combined molecular dynamics (MD) simulation and mutational analysis to show that the R162A mutation results in a decreased but stable <u>bioluminescence </u>activity of NLuc in living cells and in vitro. …”

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. …”

Performance evaluation of 3D-printed PLA composites doped with WE43 magnesium alloy for bone tissue engineering applications by Sumama Nuthana Kalva (17302906)

“…While a low Mg content (5 %) only slightly impacted the print quality and dimensions, higher Mg concentrations (10 % and 15 %) led to increased weight, rougher surfaces, dimensional shrinkage in height, and overall poorer formation quality. Adding WE43 alloy to PLA decreased the average pore sizes of the composites. …”
