Balance and its structural mechanisms in industrial product design systems by Wassim Zaghir Shanshal

“…The research produced a set of results, the most important of which are: 1-The functional meaning of the shape in the design unit is linked to the user’s memory, mind, and knowledge of it because the shape system and the functional meaning systems depend entirely on the degree of good knowledge of the shapes, their symbols, and the method of use and do not depend on technical characteristics only. 2-The relationship between form and function can be achieved by showing the formal or informal balance between the components of the design unit. …”

The Immunomodulation Potential of Exosomes in Tumor Microenvironment by Meng Wang, Bo Zhang

“…Tumor-derived exosomes contain large amounts of noncoding RNA, DNA, and proteins, which can be transferred into recipient cells as functional components in exosomes. These exosomal functional constituents depend on the originating cells, and it has been proved that types and numbers of exosomal components differ in cancer patients and healthy individuals. …”
