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. …”

Emily and Charlotte Brontë’s Re-reading of the Byronic hero by Cristina Ceron

“…Far from enacting mere Romantic passion, the relationship between Jane and Rochester, just like Catherine’s liaison with Heathcliff, follows the textual dynamics of the Gothic romance, in that the woman falls prey to the more or less demonic instincts of her lover, suffers from the violence of his feelings and at the end is entangled by his thwarted passion, even though when we read the domestic happy ending we tend to forget the gothic matrix of the story……”

Long-term trends in the socio-economic development of Arab countries by V. A. Meliantsev

“…With all the considerable differentiation that exists between Arab countries in the 1980-2010s, in contrast to a number of other countries and regions of the East and South, the Arab world on the whole has suffered from a significant slowdown in the dynamics of per capita GDP, total factor productivity, human development index and augmented development index.These trends, according to the author’s calculations, are determined not only and not so much by high population growth rates, but by the limited nature of economic and institutional reforms that affect the degree of diversification of production and export structures, share of investments in physical and human capital in GDP, and the quality of labor. …”
