Hybrid scaffold engineering for nipple-areola complex reconstruction: enabling long-term projection and functional tissue regeneration

O'Donnell, Caitlin Rose

For individuals undergoing mastectomy, reconstruction of the nipple–areola complex (NAC) is a critical step in emotional and psychological recovery. However, current clinical approaches— including flap suturing, tattooing, or grafting—are limited by loss of projection, poor mechanical stability, and absence of sensatio...

MODELING AND CHARACTERIZATION OF ALGAL GROWTH IN ANAEROBIC DIGESTION WASTEWATER FOR PROCESS OPTIMIZATION

Rahat, S M Hasan Shahriar

Microalgae cultivation using anaerobic digestion (AD) wastewater is an attractive way of producing nutrient-rich biomass and treating wastewater. Integration of computational modeling provides valuable insights into algal-bacterial interactions and process scalability. With the help of metabolic flux analysis, kinetic...

Drivers of interannual mixed layer temperature variability and recent marine heatwaves on Campbell Plateau

Collier, Cassidy Anne

Understanding the physical drivers of mixed layer temperature (MLT) variability and marine heatwaves (MHWs) in the Southern Ocean is important for predicting future warming and extreme events. On Campbell Plateau, south-east of New Zealand, two recent MHWs (2017-18 and 2022-23) exceeded typical summer ocean temperature...

Characterisation of the TP53 X126 Splice Mutation in Lung Cancer Cells

Kelly-Foleni, Noah Ethan

<em>TP53 </em>is the most frequently mutated gene in human cancer, yet the clinical utility of p53 mutation status remains limited as different mutation types produce highly variable biological effects. This challenge is especially pronounced for rare <em>TP53 </em>splice mutations, which remain poorly characterised de...

Las que quedan

Quintero Restrepo, Monica

The narrator tries to understand who her father was. She never knew him—he was killed when she was just twenty-one months old. In reconstructing his life, she hopes to better understand herself, why it is important to speak openly about death, and why she must grow apart from him in order to move forward. She seeks ans...

The Gospel of Thomas

Shalev, Itamar

The second part is a translation of The Gospel of Thomas from the Coptic language into English, which aligns with the theoretical principles described in the first part: it requires reader’s active involvement in its interpretation, and aims to avoid putting into words what is infinite and ineffable—which some people w...

Ovarian Production Capacity of Inhibin & Oestradiol in Healthy & PCOS-Like Mice

Pryer, Toby Alexander

Ovarian follicles mature through preantral and antral stages before reaching the preovulatory stage, however, in anovulatory polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) this maturation is disrupted, resulting in an accumulation of small and medium antral follicles that undergo repeated atresia and repeated ovulatory failure. The...

Marigold

Foryani, Merissa

Marigold is a story about a young woman growing up on a colonial estate in mid-Canterbury who can share the consciousness of other species, and her dysfunctional family.

Type-specific Human Papillomavirus (HPV) prevalence and attributable risk in Aotearoa New Zealand in the wake of primary HPV screening

Flynn, Isaac Michael

In 2023, New Zealand (NZ) reformed its cervical cancer screening protocol to use HPV testing as the primary screening test, prioritising colposcopy referral for instances of specific high-risk HPV type detection (HPV16 and HPV18). However, a lack of HPV prevalence studies conducted in NZ means this protocol is based on...
