Biochemical Characterization of Halotolerant Bacillus safensis PM22 and Its Potential to Enhance Growth of Maize under Salinity Stress by Muhammad Atif Azeem (17542080)

“…Additionally, inoculation of the halotolerant bacteria PM22 reduced the severity of salinity stress in plants and increased root and shoot length at various salt concentrations (0, 180, 240, and 300 mM). …”

Loss of MMP-8 in ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS)-associated myoepithelial cells contributes to tumour promotion through altered adhesive and proteolytic function by Muge Sarper (3855454)

“…Conversely, knock-down of MMP-8 in N-1089 reduced adhesion and increased migration. Expression of MMP-8 WT in β6-1089 led to greater localisation of α6β4 to HD and reduced retraction fibre formation, this being reversed by MMP-8 knock-down in N-1089. …”

On the benefits of sleep by Nature Research (16552612)

“…A recent review by Dietrich Büsselberg of the Weill-Cornell Medical School in Qatar and his team summarises this evidence, in order to help understand exactly how they are linked, and develop ways and policies to reverse the trend. People who work nights are exposed to artificial light, and this significantly affects the expression of “clock genes” that synchronize body functions to the day–night cycle. …”
