Microenvironment Dependent Photobiomodulation on Function-Specific Signal Transduction Pathways by Timon Cheng-Yi Liu, De-Feng Wu, Ling Zhu, P. Peng, Long Liu, Xiang-Bo Yang

“…A low level laser irradiation or monochromatic light may promote the activation of partially activated NSP and/or its redundant NSP so that it may induce the second-order phase transition of a function from its dysfunctional one far from its FSH to its normal one in a function-specific microenvironment and may also induce the first-order functional phase transition of the normal function from low level to high level.…”

Mycobacterium avium Infection of Multinucleated Giant Cells Reveals Association of Bacterial Survival to Autophagy and Cholesterol Utilization by Jayanthi J. Joseph, Amy Leestemaker-Palmer, Soheila Kazemi, Lia Danelishvili, Luiz E. Bermudez

“…While granuloma formation with MGCs is a common feature of mycobacterial infection, the role of MGCs within the granulomas as well as in the host-pathogen interaction is poorly understood. To shed light on the role of MGCs, we established a novel in vitro model utilizing THP-1 cells stimulated with a combination of IFN-γ and TNF-α. …”

Flavoured leptogenesis and CPμτ symmetry by Rome Samanta, Manibrata Sen

“…Considering a hierarchical light neutrino mass spectrum, which is now favoured by cosmological observations, we show that at the end of N1-leptogenesis, the asymmetry generated by N2 survives only in the electron flavour and about 33% of the parameter space is consistent with a pure N2-leptogenesis.…”
