Multiple types of data are collected to address the research...

“The role of Candida auris extracellular vesicles on pathogenesis and treatment” Submitted by Walton Man To Chan for the degree of Master of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong in August 2022 Candida auris is an emergent pathogenic fungus prominently known for its unusual transmissibility, environmental persistence, and multidrug resistance. It is the only fungi to be listed in the highest priority for the American Centers for Disease Control’s Antimicrobial Resistance Threats List. Until...

The dataset includes all data written in the thesis titled "host and viral determinants for efficient SARS-CoV-2 infection". In this thesis, we use in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo models to investigate the factors that may facilitate or hinder SARS-CoV-2 entry and replication, which may partially explain the high transmissibility of SARS-CoV-2 and reveal novel interventional targets for novel treatment strategy development.

This study has performed experiments to evaluate the antitumor efficacy of different novel targeted agents on preclinical nasopharyngeal carcinoma models. Three subtypes of experiments were performed: 1) in-vitro drug testing, 2) in-vivo drug testing, and 3) molecular mechanisms of the drug on NPC. Dataset includes both raw and processed data of in-vitro, in-vivo, and molecular experiments performed in this study. The dataset will be accessible once the data are published. File types are easily opened...

This dataset includes data collected from the Family Amidst COVID-19 online survey in May 2020, by the Hong Kong Jockey Club SMART Family-Link Project.

Gastric cancer is a heterogeneous disease with diverse molecular and histological subtypes. We performed whole-genome sequencing in 100 tumor-normal pairs, along with DNA copy number, gene expression and methylation profiling, for integrative genomic analysis. We found subtype-specific genetic and epigenetic perturbations and unique mutational signatures. We identified previously known (TP53, ARID1A and CDH1) and new (MUC6, CTNNA2, GLI3, RNF43 and others) significantly mutated driver genes. Specifically, we found RHOA mutations in 14.3% of diffuse-type tumors...

In contrast to various pathologies in human coronavirus infections, bats appear to host coronaviruses in an asymptomatic manner, indicating a distinct profile of virus-host interaction in bats. Moreover, coronaviruses, show enteric tropism in humans and animals, especially in bats, as most bat coronaviruses were identified from fecal specimens.The lack of a robust and biological-relevant in vitro model has been a hurdle for studying numerous bat coronaviruses and elucidating virus-host interactions in human and bat cells....

As people pay more and more attention to the air pollution, it is particularly essential to study the chemical reaction mechanism in atmospheric reactions. Hydrogen-oxygen species such as OH, HO2, H2O2, and H2O are important in atmospheric chemistry, and their reaction mechanisms deserve further study. However, due to the extremely high cost of calculation, the accuracy of electronic structure calculation was relatively low in past studies, resulting in unclear reaction mechanism explanations in the calculation...

Online retailing platforms are adopting various practices to present quantities of grocery items on the webpages where consumers make quantity-based purchase decisions.
The current research identifies a solution based on visual aids—supplementing the numerical information with a corresponding number of visual icons—to promote product packs containing more individual units. Thirteen preregistered, incentive-compatible studies (N = 6,388) demonstrate that our proposed solution of visual aids of quantity presentation shifts consumers’ preferences from smaller-quantity packs toward...
