Vascular normalization confers an endothelial immune suppressive gene expression profile

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We compare the immunoregulatory gene expression profiles of healthy endothelial cells or endothelial cells from tumors having a normalized endothelium (low leakage) with that of wild‐type tumors (high leakage) and observe that the wild‐type tumor endothelium exhibits immunostimulatory properties.

Pathways and pitfalls: a qualitative study of student experiences in biomedical science education

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Biomedical science students from underrepresented backgrounds face barriers including financial strain, disrupted laboratory access and cultural exclusion. Peer networks provide vital support when institutional systems are difficult to navigate. To create inclusive learning environments and achieve academic success, educators should blend active, hands‐

Structural and biochemical insights into the thermostable esterase Ta0887 from Thermoplasma acidophilum

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, a novel esterase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was biochemically and structurally characterized. Our results demonstrate that Ta0887 is a highly thermostable esterase that preferentially hydrolyzes p‐nitrophenyl hexanoate and possesses an α‐helical cap domain that likely contributes to its substrate ...

Reactions to, and trial intentions for, three dissuasive cigarette designs: A cross-sectional survey of adolescents in Scotland

Tobacco Prevention and Cessation, 2020
Background The Scottish Government has identified dissuasive cigarettes, which provide exposure to health warnings at the point of consumption and reduce product attractiveness, as a future tobacco control measure to reduce smoking prevalence and ...

Social learning in market games [PDF]

Journal of Economic Behavior & Organization, 2006
Abstract Our experiments test the effect of different information settings on firms’ behaviour in duopoly price and quantity games. We find that when players have full information on their rivals’ choices, the imitation rule prevails, and such learning behaviour induces more competitive outcomes in the Cournot market designs.

Ultrafast visual detection of Streptococcus suis via HtpsC‐targeted LAMP–CRISPR–Cas12a coupled with lateral flow immunochromatography

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
A rapid visual test combines DNA amplification, CRISPR–based target verification, and a lateral flow strip to detect Streptococcus suis. The assay gives results in about 45 min, reduces false‐positive interpretation, and does not require fluorescence equipment.

A novel air quality feedback intervention trial using mHealth techniques across four European countries: the TackSHS Project Measuring for Change Study

Tobacco Prevention and Cessation, 2019
Introduction Second-hand tobacco smoke exposure is a cause of serious ill-health for children, and in most European countries this exposure occurs predominantly in the home. There is therefore a great deal of research interest in reducing smoking at home,

Reactions to standardised cigarette packs with varying structural designs, and the association with smoking susceptibility: A post-implementation cross-sectional survey with never-smoking adolescents in Scotland

Tobacco Prevention and Cessation, 2020
Background From 20 May 2017, cigarettes in the United Kingdom must be sold in standardised (plain) packaging, however, in the UK cigarette packs are permitted to have varying shapes (e.g. bevelled-edges and slim) and opening methods (e.g.
