Long Course Hyperbaric Oxygen Stimulates Neurogenesis and Attenuates Inflammation after Ischemic Stroke by Ying-Sheng Lee, Chung-Ching Chio, Ching-Ping Chang, Liang-Chao Wang, Po-Min Chiang, Kuo-Chi Niu, Kuen-Jer Tsai

“…Several studies have provided evidence with regard to the neuroprotection benefits of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy in cases of stroke, and HBO also promotes bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) proliferation and mobilization. This study investigates the influence of HBO therapy on the migration of BMSCs, neurogenesis, gliosis, and inflammation after stroke. …”

FOXG1 promotes osteogenesis of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells by activating autophagy through regulating USP14 by Yiqi Zhang, Long Zhou, Qin Fu, Ziyun Liu

“…USP14 overexpression prevents the promoting effect of FOXG1 on osteogenic differentiation in BMSCs. Therefore, our findings suggest that FOXG1 promotes BMSC osteogenic differentiation and inhibits osteoclast differentiation, eventually blocking OVX-induced bone loss, which may provide a promising approach for osteoporosis treatment.…”

miR-223 promotes cartilage differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells and protects against osteoarthritis by suppressing NLRP-3 expression by Nan Min, Jie Ma, Lei Shi, Lin Wang, Chi Liu, Yaonan Zhang, Qingyun Xue

“…Alcian blue staining was performed to determine the chondrogenic differentiation and expression of miR-223 in the BMSCs. Moreover, expression of NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP-3), matrix metallopeptidase-13 (MMP-13) and collagen (Col II) was determined in miR-223 mimic and inhibitor treated BMSCs. …”

Cytological Effects of Serum Isolated from Polytraumatized Patients on Human Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells by Yazhou Long, Katrin Bundkirchen, Pascal Gräff, Christian Krettek, Sandra Noack, Claudia Neunaber

“…However, few studies look at the effects of sera from polytraumatized patients on hBMSCs. The aim of this study was to explore changes in hBMSC properties in response to serum from polytrauma patients taken at different time points after the trauma incident. …”

Expression of CD24 in Human Bone Marrow-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Is Regulated by TGFβ3 and Induces a Myofibroblast-Like Genotype by Luisa Marilena Schäck, Manuela Buettner, Alexander Wirth, Claudia Neunaber, Christian Krettek, Andrea Hoffmann, Sandra Noack

“…The protein CD24 has been reported to be involved in a diverse range of processes such as cancer, adaptive immunity, inflammation, and autoimmune diseases in other cell types. Its expression in hBMSCs, which has not yet been analyzed, may add an important aspect in the understanding of hBMSC biology. …”

Polydatin Protects Bone Marrow Stem Cells against Oxidative Injury: Involvement of Nrf 2/ARE Pathways by Meihui Chen, Yu Hou, Dingkun Lin

“…Hochest 33258, Annexin V-PI, and Western blot assay showed H2O2-induced apoptosis in BMSCs, which was attenuated by polydatin. Further studies indicated that polydatin significantly protects BMSCs against apoptosis due to its antioxidative effects and the regulation of Nrf 2/ARE pathway. …”

A Gameplay Definition through Videogame Classification by Damien Djaouti, Julian Alvarez, Jean-Pierre Jessel, Gilles Methel, Pierre Molinier

“…Being inspired by the methodology that Propp used for the classification of Russian fairy tales, we have identified recurrent diagrams within rules of videogames, that we called “Gameplay Bricks”. The combinations of these different bricks should allow us to represent a classification of all videogames in accordance with their rules. …”

A Bracket-Stiffened Two-Planar Overlapped Tubular KT-Joint for Offshore Jack-Up Fatigue Analysis by Jian Zhang, Xinxin Yue, Jiajia Qiu, Lei Chen, Wei Shen

“…However, for the multiplanar overlapped tubular joints, the related reports are very limited due to the fact that the combining effect between multiplanarity and brace overlapping is quite complex. In this paper, a novel bracket-stiffened two-planar overlapped tubular KT-joint is proposed by adding two brackets between the upper diagonal and horizontal braces to alleviate the stress concentration at the brace-to-chord intersection area. …”
