Cancer-Associated Immune Resistance and Evasion of Immune Surveillance in Colorectal Cancer by Pietro Parcesepe, Guido Giordano, Carmelo Laudanna, Antonio Febbraro, Massimo Pancione

“…Recent works reveal that expression of immune antigens (PDL1, CD47, CD73, CD14, CD68, MAC387, CD163, DAP12, and CD15) by tumor cells “immune resistance,” combined with prometastatic function of nonmalignant infiltrating cells, may represent a strategy to overcome the rate-limiting steps of metastatic cascade through (a) enhanced interactions with protumorigenic myeloid cells and escape from T-dependent immune response mediated by CD8+ and natural killer (NK) cells; (b) production of immune mediators that establish a local and systemic tumor-supportive environment (premetastatic niche); (c) ability to survive either in the peripheral blood as circulating tumor cells (CTCs) or at the metastatic site forming a cooperative prometastatic loop with foreign “myeloid” cells, macrophages, and neutrophils, respectively. …”

Power decoupling method for synchronous reference frame-based vector control by Zhen Gong, Xiaorong Xie, Chengxi Liu, Filipe Faria da Silva, Yonghao Gui

“…This short communication analyzes the power coupling mechanism of synchronous reference frame-based vector control (SRF-VC) of voltage source inverter (VSI), which is caused by the variation of voltage angle difference (VVAD) between voltage at point of common coupling (PCC) and grid voltage. Then, a power closed loop transfer function model is proposed to study the power coupling characteristics. …”
