“O’er-dyed blacks” (1.2.131) : les couleurs dans Le Conte d’hiver by Sophie Chiari

“…In the wake of Michel Pastoureau’s works on the subject, I will thus not only aim at exploring the broad chromatic fields of the play (black, white and red) but also at having a closer look at its “sentimental” colours (yellow and green) as well as at its “dishonest” hues (the colours of the rainbow), as those defended by Autolycus, whose polychrome world reflects a subversive vision of Bohemia. …”

Melatonin Reverses the Loss of Stemness Induced by TNF-α in Human Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells through Upregulation of YAP Expression by Xudong Wang, Tongzhou Liang, Jincheng Qiu, Xianjian Qiu, Bo Gao, Wenjie Gao, Chengjie Lian, Taiqiu Chen, Yuanxin Zhu, Anjing Liang, Peiqiang Su, Yan Peng, Dongsheng Huang

“…In this study, we report a melatonin-based method to reduce the inflammatory effects on the stemness of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs). The results of colony formation assays, Alizarin red staining, western blotting, and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reactions suggest that melatonin can reverse the inflammatory damage caused by TNF-α treatment in the third, seventh, and tenth generations of primary BMMSCs (vs. control and the TNF-α-treated group). …”
