Hypoxia Promotes Vascular Smooth Muscle Cell (VSMC) Differentiation of Adipose-Derived Stem Cell (ADSC) by Regulating Mettl3 and Paracrine Factors by Jiaying Lin, Qianqian Zhu, Jialyu Huang, Renfei Cai, Yanping Kuang

“…In addition, our results suggested that hypoxia stress promotes the ADSC differentiate into VMSCs and regulates the secretion of VEGF, HGF, TGF-β, GM-CSF, bFGF, and SDF-1 by mediating Mettl3 gene expression. These observations might contribute to novel progress in understanding the role of epitranscriptomic regulation in the VSMC differentiation of ADSCs and provide a promising perspective for new therapeutic strategies for tissue regeneration.…”

Examining the drivers of ecological footprint components: Is pursuing food security environmentally costly for Nigeria? by Hephzibah Onyeje Obekpa, Andrew Adewale Alola, Adejo Moses Adejo, Chukwuemeka Echebiri

“…Amidst the fact that Nigeria’s ecological footprint exceeds its biocapacity by 58 percent, rapid population increase, and incessant farmers and herders conflict continue to pose a significant danger to the country’s food security drive. Motivated by this observation, this study attempts to examine whether the pursuit of food security agenda amidst population increase, and economic growth exhibits a significant impact on the country’s aggregate ecological footprint and footprints of built-up land, carbon, cropland, fishing grounds, forest products, and grazing land especially over the period 1981–2020. …”

Spatial Differentiation in Urban Thermal Environment Pattern from the Perspective of the Local Climate Zoning System: A Case Study of Zhengzhou City, China by Jinghu Pan, Bo Yu, Yuntian Zhi

“…The main urban area’s heat island varies with the seasons, pooling in the urban area during the summer and peaking in the winter, with strong or extremely strong heat islands centered in the suburbs and a distribution of hot and cold spots aggregated with observable features. As building heights increase, the UHI of common built landscapes (LCZ 1–6) increases and then reduces in spring, summer, and autumn and then decreases in winter as building heights increase. …”

Overcoming immunosuppression in cancer: how ketogenic diets boost immune checkpoint blockade by Victoria E. Stefan, Daniela D. Weber, Roland Lang, Barbara Kofler

“…KDs also showed synergism with ICB therapy in several preclinical tumor studies. The observed effects are ascribed to the ability of KDs to improve immune cell infiltration and induce downregulation of immune-inhibitory processes, thus creating a more immunogenic tumor microenvironment. …”
