Molecular characterization of covRS mutations in M1UK Streptococcus pyogenes
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Group A Streptococcus (GAS) acquires covRS mutations driving a hypervirulent bacterial state, frequently associated with invasive disease‐like necrotizing fasciitis. We demonstrate that the newly emerged M1UK GAS lineage can also acquire these mutations.

Image sharpening metrics and search strategies for indirect adaptive optics [PDF]
, 2000 Adaptive optics is concerned with the correction of turbulence induced aberrations and mis-alignments in optical systems. It is an expensive and complicated technology which has been developed for astronomy and defence applications.

Transformation optics for designing superlenses
, 2009 We show that by using the recently emerged transformation optics, it is possible to design perfect lenses in new geometries with an imaging performance almost equivalent to the well studied perfect slab lens.

Transformational optics of plasmonic metamaterials
New Journal of Physics, 2008 Plasmonic metamaterials provide a convenient experimental platform for demonstration of principles of transformation optics. Results of imaging experiments using plasmonic metamaterials have been confronted with numerical simulations.

Malformin A1–mediated cytotoxicity in ovarian cancer cells occurs through pyroptosis and autophagy
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This study investigated the effects of the natural compound Malformin A1 (MA1) on the cytoskeleton that regulates cell proliferation and migration. Disruption of the cytoskeleton can impair these processes and promote cancer cell death. MA1 disrupted cytoskeletal organization, induced DNA damage, inflammation, activated autophagy, and pyroptosis ...

PERSPECTIVE OPTICS. VISUAL REPRESENTATION TRANSFORMATION THROUGH THE ARTS
Journal of Industrial Design and Engineering GraphicsArt and architecture, at their finest, serve as social expressions of beauty. Artistic language as a form of human communication in the visual arts is an anticipatory tool of societal changes daring to position art as a reflective mirror of the future ...
