Polyampholyte−Surfactant Film Tuning in Reverse Microemulsions by Mabya Fechner (1943278)

“…Additionally, the required amount of surfactant to establish a clear w/o microemulsion depends on the pH value, which means the hydrophobicity of the copolymers. Conductivity measurements show that droplet−droplet interactions in the w/o microemulsion are decreased at acidic but increased at alkaline pH in the presence of the copolymers. …”

Supplementary Figure 2 from MALAT1 Is Associated with Poor Response to Oxaliplatin-Based Chemotherapy in Colorectal Cancer Patients and Promotes Chemoresistance through EZH2 by Peilong Li (755143)

“…The concentration -effect curve indicated that the IC50 value of oxaliplatin for HT29 OxR cells was 10.2 μM, while the IC50 of oxaliplatin on HT29 parental cells was 1.5 μM, which means that the HT29 OxR cells was 6.8 times the ability of oxaliplatin resistance of HT29 parental cells. …”

Direct ionizing radiation and bystander effect in mouse mesenchymal stem cells by Amanda Nogueira-Pedro (12377818)

“…</p> <p><b>Methods and materials:</b> MSCs were irradiated (IR) and parameters related to DNA damage and cellular signaling were verified in a dose range from 0.5 to 15 Gy; also a transwell insert co-culture system was used to study medium-mediated BYS effects.…”

Markov chain diagrams and contrast index. by Guillermo E. Delmas (6169820)

“…<p>Markov chain diagrams are shown (the size of circle means of occupancy state rate and the arrow’s width are proportional to the probability of cooperate given (<b>A</b>) occupancy state and transition probabilities for an animal that disrupted its cooperative behavior when contrast index was changed to and pay-off matrix was changed [<i>P</i>_<i>T</i>, <i>P</i>_<i>R</i>, <i>P</i>_<i>P</i>, <i>P</i>_<i>S</i>] = [3<i>p</i>, 1<i>p</i>, 4<i>s</i>, 8<i>s</i>] to [5<i>p</i>, 1<i>p</i>, 4<i>s</i>, 8<i>s</i>] (p = pellet and s = seconds). …”

H89 and calyculin A inhibit the transcriptional activity of MR. by Hae-Ahm Lee (787353)

“…<p>HEK293 cells were stimulated with Aldo (10 nM) for 24 h after pretreatment with H89 (10 μM), calyculin A (5 nM), or vehicle for 6 h. Treatment with Aldo resulted in increased expression of <i>GILZ</i> (A) and <i>SGK-1</i> (B), which was decreased by pretreatment with H89 and calyculin A. …”

Image_1_Transcranial direct current stimulation alters sensorimotor modulation during cognitive representation of movement.TIFF by Gaia Bonassi (12750008)

Advanced control of codling moth (Cydia pomonella) using the beneficial nematode Steinernema carpocapsae in apple and pear orchards in the Pacific North West by Stephanie Haines (9726395)

“…Few biological control options are available, and the ones currently on the market, (e.g. viruses, plant extracts, and pheromones) tend to target 1^st instar larvae and adults. A promising means of decreasing codling moth populations is entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs), specifically the species <i>Steinernema carpocapsae </i>(<i>Sc</i>)<i>, </i>which was originally isolated from codling moth larvae. …”
