Desmosomes In Vivo by David Garrod

“…Almost all studies in culture are done on weakly adhesive, calcium-dependent desmosomes, although hyperadhesion can be readily obtained in confluent cell culture. Calcium dependence is a default condition in vivo, found in wounds and embryonic development. …”

Unveiling the potential: Patient-derived organoids in cancer research and treatment by Zhan Wang

“…These three-dimensional structures, cultivated from patient tumor samples, faithfully mimic the intricate cellular composition and architecture of the original tumors. Unlike traditional cell cultures, PDOs retain the heterogeneity and complexity of the tumor microenvironment, making them invaluable tools for studying cancer biology, disease progression, and therapeutic responses. …”

3D MIMO channel modeling and simulations by Xiongwen ZHAO, Mengyuan ZHANG, Rui ZHANG, Shu LI, Leke LIN

“…The existing MIMO channel simulation models are based on two-dimensional（2D）plane and can’t match with a three-dimensional（3D）radio propagation environment.A 3D MIMO channel simulation platform based on WINNER channel model was set up.After adding the vertical dimension in the model，the array patterns should be extended from 2D to 3D and 3D MIMO channel simulations were implemented.The simulation results of 3D MIMO channel parameters were validated by comparisons with the 3D measurements for an urban micro cell，good agreements could be observed.Simulation results show that the 3D channel correlation is bigger than 2D，however， its capacity has bigger improvement compared with 2D.…”

The History of Cystinosis: Lessons for Clinical Management by Paul Goodyer

“…Major conceptual break-throughs include (a) its discovery in 1903, (b) recognition of the renal Fanconi syndrome, (c) realization that tissue accumulation of cystine reflects a defective channel in the lysosomal membrane, (d) translation of this discovery to trials of cysteamine, (e) discovery of the CTNS gene, and (f) report of successful stem cell therapy in the cystinotic mouse. This paper focuses on the importance management lessons from these milestones and the potential new therapeutic strategies which may be looming in the near future.…”

Resource allocation algorithm based on non-cooperative game theory in uplink OFDMA multi-hop relay networks by Zheng XIANG, Xu-ming FANG, Peng XU

“…Resource allocation issue in uplink OFDMA multi-hop relay networks was investigated.Firstly,with constraints such as maximum transmission power being imposed,a multi-cell optimization model for resource allocation in uplink OFDMA multi-hop relay networks was formulated.By applying non-cooperative game and pricing theories,the optimization is transformed into the case where power was independently allocated on each sub-channel.The existence and uniqueness of Nash equilibrium for power allocation model which was based on non-cooperative was proven,and accordingly a distributed algorithm was proposed.Simulation results show that,the proposed algorithm can improve the system throughput effectively while profoundly reducing total system transmission power,thus achieving much higher energy efficiency ratio.…”
