Prémisses de la critique textuelle dans la culture écrite du XVIII-e siècle by Eugen Pavel

“…There are written proofs of the attempts done at the royal court of Nicholas Mavrocordatos, among which the ones made by Transylvanian Hellenist specialist Stephan Bergler to critically edit some medieval manuscripts, followed by the hard work of some typographic correctors, such as the Greek monk Mitrofan Gregoras, or as the monks Rafail, Anatolie and Lavrentie, from the Hurezi convent, and also Mihalcea Litterati or Cozma Vlahul, who prove their incipient qualities of editors. An animator and mentor of the editing process would also be the Moldavian hierarch Leon Gheuca. …”

A Look into Stem Cell Therapy: Exploring the Options for Treatment of Ischemic Stroke by Cesar Reis, Michael Wilkinson, Haley Reis, Onat Akyol, Vadim Gospodarev, Camila Araujo, Sheng Chen, John H. Zhang

“…Understanding the role of endogenous neural stem and progenitor cells under normal physiological conditions aids in analyzing their effects after ischemic injury, including their impact on functional recovery and neurogenesis at the site of injury. Recent animal studies have utilized unique subsets of exogenous and endogenous stem cells as well as preconditioning with pharmacologic agents to better understand the best situation for stem cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation. …”

Cytochrome P450 monooxygenase-mediated eicosanoid pathway: A potential mechanistic linkage between dietary fatty acid consumption and colon cancer risk by Weicang Wang, Jianan Zhang, Guodong Zhang

“…Human consumption of linoleic acid (LA, 18:2ω-6, abundant in vegetable oils) is very high. Animal experiments showed that excessive LA intake increased azoxymethane-induced colon tumorigenesis, however, the impact of excessive LA on colon cancer in human is not conclusive, making it difficult to make dietary recommendations for optimal intake of LA. …”
