Flow Cytometric Assessment of FcγRIIIa-V158F Polymorphisms and NK Cell Mediated ADCC Revealed Reduced NK Cell Functionality in Colorectal Cancer Patients by Phillip Schiele, Stefan Kolling, Stanislav Rosnev, Charlotte Junkuhn, Anna Luzie Walter, Jobst Christian von Einem, Sebastian Stintzing, Wenzel Schöning, Igor Maximilian Sauer, Dominik Paul Modest, Kathrin Heinrich, Lena Weiss, Volker Heinemann, Lars Bullinger, Marco Frentsch, Il-Kang Na

“…Fc gamma receptor IIIa (FcγRIIIa) polymorphisms impact ADCC, yet their clinical relevance in NK cell functionality remains debated. We developed two complementary flow cytometry assays: one to predict the FcγRIIIa-V158F polymorphism using a machine learning model, and a 15-color flow cytometry panel to assess antibody-induced NK cell functionality and cancer-immune cell interactions. …”

How vanadium and manganese compounds impact cardiac mitochondrial function by Connor C. Dolan, Luke A. Whitcomb, Edgar Del Carpio, Edgar Del Carpio, Lilliana Rose, Adam J. Chicco, Debbie C. Crans, Debbie C. Crans

“…Many studies have indicated that these metals elicit their effects in part by influencing mitochondrial function, with potential variations due to their redox properties and complexation.MethodsTo better understand these relationships, we investigated the effects of vanadium and manganese salts (VIVOSO4, NaVVO3, MnIICl2) and acetoacetate (Hacac) complexes (VIVO(acac)2 and MnII(acac)2) on murine cardiac mitochondrial function. …”

Analysis of a Lorenz-Like Chaotic System by Lyapunov Functions by Fuchen Zhang

“…Furthermore, we investigate the global exponential attractive set of this system via the Lyapunov function method. The rate of the trajectories going from the exterior of the globally exponential attractive set to the interior of the globally exponential attractive set is also obtained for all the positive parameters values a,b,c. …”
