Russia–EU energy dialogue in 2000–2014: Key priorities, stages, contradictions, and outcomes by O. N. Yudina

“…As a result, the content and structure of the Energy Dialogue changed: discussions on the creation of a single energy community and energy markets were overshadowed by issues of strategic planning and development of an early warning mechanism. Therefore, by 2014, when the EU abandoned the Energy Dialogue, its potential had been to a large extent exhausted. …”

Identification of circRNA/miRNA/mRNA regulatory network involving (+)-catechin ameliorates diabetic nephropathy mice by Chao Chen, Dina Zhu, Shuai Zhang, Wensheng Zhang

“…Among these, circRNA.5549 and circRNA.4712 might regulate Cd36, Cyp26b1, C8a, Cyp2j13, Grem2 genes through ceRNA regulatory mechanism in the presence of CE treatment. The expanded network of proteins interacting with these 5 genes shows that the TGF-β signaling pathway, signaling pathways regulating pluripotency of stem cell, fat digestion and absorption, and PPAR signaling pathway was highly enriched. …”
