Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Stem Cells Ameliorate Inflammation-Related Tumorigenesis via Modulating Macrophages by Yanxia Fu, Jun Li, Mengdi Li, Junfeng Xu, Zheng Rong, Fangli Ren, Yinyin Wang, Jianqiu Sheng, Zhijie Chang

“…We deciphered the mechanism that HUC-MSCs inhibited tumorigenesis through reducing the proportion of macrophages, which were decreased in the mice suffered from AOM/DSS-induced colon cancer. Correspondingly, the expression levels of TNF-α and IL-6, which were secreted by macrophages, were significantly decreased in the plasma of colon cancer and colitis mice after injection of HUC-MSCs. …”

DOA Estimation for a Mixture of Uncorrelated and Coherent Sources Based on Hierarchical Sparse Bayesian Inference with a Gauss-Exp-Chi2 Prior by Pinjiao Zhao, Weijian Si, Guobing Hu, Liwei Wang

“…Specifically, the specified sparse prior is expected to concentrate its mass on the zero and distribute with heavy tails; otherwise, these algorithms may suffer from performance degradation. In this paper, we introduce a new sparse-encouraging prior, referred to as “Gauss-Exp-Chi2” prior, and develop an efficient DOA estimation algorithm for a mixture of uncorrelated and coherent sources under a hierarchical SBI framework. …”
