Nuclear Factor of Activated T Cells (NFAT) Proteins as Targeted Molecules in Diseases: A Narrative Review.

The nuclear factor of activated T cells (NFAT) is a key player in the NFAT pathway, regulating various cellular processes physiologically and pathologically. NFAT signaling is implicated in developing multiple diseases, such as cancer progression, that are associated with angiogenesis. Despite numerous studies on NFAT, there is still a dearth of information on the proteins and signaling pathway compared to other established pathways.

A survey dataset of ethical culture and financial reporting quality in Malaysian small and medium enterprises.

This paper presents a dataset from a survey of the perception and experiences of owner-managers and accountants of SMEs concerning the ethical culture and financial reporting quality in their organisation. The dataset was collected from November 2022 to February 2023 using the convenience sampling method. A total of 181 valid responses from 218 responses were obtained during the data collection process.

Exploring the effect of molecular size and framework functionalisation on transport in metal-organic frameworks using pulsed-field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance.

Molecular transport is an important aspect in metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) as it affects many of their applications, such as adsorption/separation, drug delivery and catalysis. Yet probing the fundamental diffusion mechanisms in MOFs is challenging, and the interplay between the MOF's features (such as the pore structure and linker dynamics) and molecular transport remains mostly unexplored. Here, the pulsed-field gradient nuclear magnetic resonance (PFG NMR) technique is used to probe the diffusion of several probe molecules, , water, xylenes and 1,3,5-triisopropylbenzene (TIPB), within the UiO-66 MOF and its derivatives (UiO-66NH and UiO-66Br).
