Exploring the effects of classical immune activation on circuit excitability and cell viability in the mouse brain by Tinelli, Sasha

“…Epilepsy directly affects approximately 50 million people globally and is the most common neurological disorder in sub-Saharan Africa, mainly due to high rates of neuroinfections and head trauma experienced by people in the region. …”

Investigating ferric ion production and consumption trends in a simulated e-waste bioleaching environment for maximum metal dissolution efficiency by Gituma, Mark Kinoti

“…The ferric ion consumption and production rates depend on each other and other factors. The metal dissolution through ferric iron reduction is a function of ferric iron concentration, affected by how fast ferric iron is produced through microbial oxidation. …”

Assessment and improvement of current sex estimation standards for application in Holocene San and Khoekhoe populations by Malek, Sadiyah

“…Results were analysed using chi-squared tests, univariate statistics, and cross-validated discriminant function analysis. Trait/parameter preservation rates were assessed and reported: Of the traits, supra-orbital margin and glabella were best preserved (90% and 88% respectively), and mandibular shape least (71%). …”

A tumour suppressor role for the T-box transcription factor TBX3 in fibroblasts by Cooper, Aretha

“…These results were unexpected and demonstrate for the first time that TBX3 behaves as a tumour suppressor in transformed fibroblast and fibro sarcoma cells, suggesting it may function as either oncoprotein or tumour suppressor depending on cellular context. …”
