PPARα Is Required for PPARδ Action in Regulation of Body Weight and Hepatic Steatosis in Mice by Wojciech G. Garbacz, Jeffrey T. J. Huang, Larry G. Higgins, Walter Wahli, Colin N. A. Palmer

“…This effect was completely absent in mice with either a dominant negative form of PPARδ or deletion of the DNA binding domain of PPARδ. This confirmed the absolute requirement for PPARδ in the physiological actions of GW501516 and confirmed the potential utility against the human form of this receptor. …”

Fast simulation of the influence of a refractive free-form microstructure on a wave field based on scalar diffraction theory by Thiemicke Fabian, El-Bashar Ramy, Hameed Mohamed F.M., Agour Mostafa, Obayya Salah S.A., Bergmann Ralf B., Falldorf Claas

“…The main advantage of this method is its reduced complexity, which leads to a remarkable reduction in computation time by more than two orders of magnitude compared to finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) methods. This efficiency facilitates the iterative optimization of refractive microstructures and thus represents a practical tool to improve this type of microstructures. …”
