Long-term hypoxic atmosphere enhances the stemness, immunoregulatory functions, and therapeutic application of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells by Qi-Ming Huang, You-Qiong Zhuo, Zhong-Xin Duan, Yin-lin Long, Jia-Nan Wang, Zhou-hang Zhang, Shao-Yong Fan, Yong-Ming Huang, Ke-Yu Deng, Hong-Bo Xin

“…The comparison between both atmospheres systematically analyzed the biological functions of MSCs, mainly including stemness maintenance, immune regulation, and resistance to chondrocyte apoptosis, and studied their joint function and anti-inflammatory effects in osteoarthritis (OA) rats constructed by collagenase II. Results: We observed that long-term hypoxic culture surpassed normoxic atmosphere during hUC-MSCs culture in respect of promoting proliferation, anti-tumorigenicity, maintaining normal karyotype and stemness, inhibiting senescence, and improving immunoregulatory function and the role of anti-apoptosis in chondrocytes. …”

AdaMoR-DDMOEA: Adaptive Model Selection with a Reliable Individual-Based Model Management Framework for Offline Data-Driven Multi-Objective Optimization by Subhadip Pramanik, Abdalla Alameen, Hitesh Mohapatra, Debanjan Pathak, Adrijit Goswami

“…These offline data-driven MOPs are usually solved by multi-objective evolutionary algorithms (MOEAs) with the help of surrogate models constructed from offline historical data. The key challenge in developing these data-driven MOEAs is that they have to replace multiple conflicting fitness functions by approximating these objective functions, which may produce cumulative approximation errors and misguide the search. …”

Spray vaccination with a safe and bivalent H9N2 recombinant chimeric NDV vector vaccine elicits complete protection against NDV and H9N2 AIV challenge by Xiaoquan Wang, Jing Dai, Wenhao Yang, Yao Yao, Jin Zhang, Kaituo Liu, Xiaolong Lu, Ruyi Gao, Yu Chen, Jiao Hu, Min Gu, Shunlin Hu, Xiufan Liu, Xiaowen Liu

“…Vaccination is a widely used preventive measure against these pathogens, yet the lack of a live bivalent vaccine targeting NDV and H9N2 AIV imposes a heavy vaccination burden. Previously, we constructed a genotype-matched chimeric NDV vector, LX-OAI4S, in which the genotype I NDV backbone was replaced with the ectodomain of haemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN) and modified using the attenuated F gene from the genotype VII vaccine strain A-VII. …”
