A novel approach to Lyapunov stability of Caputo fractional dynamic equations on time scale using a new generalized derivative by Michael Precious Ineh, Edet Peter Akpan, Hossam A. Nabwey

“…In this work, we introduced a generalized concept of Caputo fractional derivatives, specifically the Caputo fractional delta derivative (Fr$ \Delta $D) and Caputo fractional delta Dini derivative (Fr$ \Delta $DiD) of order $ \alpha \in (0, 1) $, on an arbitrary time domain $ \mathbb{T} $, which was a closed subset of $ \mathbb{R} $. By bridging the gap between discrete and continuous time domains, this unified framework enabled a more thorough approach to stability and asymptotic stability analysis on time scales. …”

Growth Hormone-Releasing Hormone and Its Analogues: Significance for MSCs-Mediated Angiogenesis by Xiangyang Xia, Quanwei Tao, Qunchao Ma, Huiqiang Chen, Jian’an Wang, Hong Yu

“…GHRH and its agonists are proangiogenic in responsive tissues including tumors, and GHRH antagonists have been tested as antitumor agents through their ability to suppress angiogenesis and cell growth. GHRH-R is expressed by MSCs and evolving work from our laboratory indicates that treatment of MSCs with GHRH agonists prior to cell transplantation markedly enhanced the angiogenic potential and tissue reparative properties of MSCs through a STAT3 signaling pathway. …”
