“…Further experiments using MSC-specific transforming growth factor- (TGF-) β receptor 2 conditional knockout (KO) mice (Tgfbr2Gli1-Cre) and C3H10 T1/2 murine mesenchymal progenitor cells showed that this effect was mediated through TGF-β/Smad signaling. We conclude that amygdalin could be used as an alternative treatment for bone fractures.…”

NKp46 enhances type 1 innate lymphoid cell proliferation and function and anti-acute myeloid leukemia activity by Rui Ma, Zhenlong Li, Hejun Tang, Xiaojin Wu, Lei Tian, Zahir Shah, Ningyuan Liu, Tasha Barr, Jianying Zhang, Sean Wang, Srividya Swaminathan, Guido Marcucci, Yong Peng, Michael A. Caligiuri, Jianhua Yu

“…Abstract NKp46 is a critical regulator of natural killer (NK) cell immunity, but its function in non-NK innate immune cells remains unclear. Here, we show that NKp46 is indispensable for expressing IL-2 receptor-α (IL-2Rα) by non-NK liver-resident type-1 innate lymphoid cells (ILC1s). …”

Machine learning reveals sex differences in distinguishing between conduct-disordered and neurotypical youth based on emotion processing dysfunction by Gregor Kohls, Erik M. Elster, Peter Tino, Graeme Fairchild, Christina Stadler, Arne Popma, Christine M. Freitag, Stephane A. De Brito, Kerstin Konrad, Ruth Pauli

“…The “differential threshold” hypothesis suggests greater emotion dysfunction in conduct-disordered girls than boys, but previous research using conventional statistical analyses has failed to support this hypothesis. Here, we used novel analytic techniques such as machine learning (ML) to uncover potentially sex-specific differences in emotion dysfunction among girls and boys with CD compared to their neurotypical peers. …”
