The authors test symbiotic relationships among cyanobacteria species to generate more robust cultures for potential biofuel production.

Elevated acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity contributes to cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, motivating the search for more effective inhibitors with better bioavailability. This study used computational methods to design novel, non-toxic AChE inhibitors.

This study analyzes genetic alterations and expression patterns of protein kinases involved in phagocytosis across multiple cancers using TCGA data.

The authors looked at energy efficient ways to generate small nitrogenous compounds.

The authors looked at whether they could induce the formation of new neurons from astrocytes via the upregulation of a microRNA (miR-124a). They found that upregulation of miR-124a started transdifferentiation of neurons, but was not enough to lead to full conversion of astrocytes to neurons.

The authors computationally screened potential ALDH1 inhibitors, for use as potential cancer therapeutics.

Improving the classifier of the difficulty level of Sudoku.

This study investigated the impact of pH on the efficiency of calcium phosphate, used as a drug delivery agent.

Here, in an effort to identify alternatives to oil-based plastic, the authors sought to investigate the effects of plasticizers on the mechanical properties and chemical composition of gelatin bioplastic matrices. Through measurements of their tensile strength and elongation at break, along with FTIR spectroscopy, they identified 3% w/v polyethylene glycol film as having the best performance in their study..

This study hypothesized that sodium chloride was taken up through plant root structures to facilitate water transportation, and that sodium chloride accumulation was directly proportional to the soil salinity. Results showed that most cells within the “bulb” structures were isotonic at a concentration approximately twice as high as that of root tissue and ambient soil salinity, therefore supporting the presented hypothesis.
