Identification of Stem Leydig Cells Derived from Pig Testicular Interstitium by Shuai Yu, Pengfei Zhang, Wuzi Dong, Wenxian Zeng, Chuanying Pan

“…Stem Leydig cells (SLCs), located in the testicular interstitial compartment in the mammalian testes, are capable of differentiating to testosterone-synthesizing Leydig cells (LCs), thus providing a new strategy for treating testosterone deficiency. However, no previous reports have identified and cultured SLCs derived from the pig. …”

Optimal Asynchronous Guaranteed Cost Control of Uncertain Markov Jump Systems With Actuator Saturation and Nonideal Transition Probabilities by Jiazheng Liu, Yang Yang, Yaru Song

“…Moreover, since it is complex to obtain accurate transition probabilities for the Markov chain of the original system and the hidden Markov model in the observation process, unknown and uncertain transition probabilities are simultaneously considered in both mode transitions and mode observation processes, and a separation strategy is implemented to handle the nonideal probabilities in each process independently. …”

Analysis of non scalar control problems for parabolic systems by the block moment method by Boyer, Franck, Morancey, Morgan

“…We also deduce estimates on the cost of controllability when the final time goes to the minimal null control time.We illustrate how the method works on a few examples of such abstract controlled systems and then we deal with actual coupled systems of one dimensional parabolic partial differential equations. Our strategy enables us to tackle controllability issues that seem out of reach by existing techniques.…”
