Spindle shaped human mesenchymal stem/stromal cells from amniotic fluid promote neovascularization. by Maria G Roubelakis, Grigorios Tsaknakis, Kalliopi I Pappa, Nicholas P Anagnou, Suzanne M Watt

“…Interestingly, although the kinetics of vascular tubule formation in vitro were similar when the supporting SS-AF-MSCs were compared with the best vasculogenic supportive batches of bone marrow MSCs (BMSCs) or human dermal fibroblasts (hDFs), SS-AF-MSCs supported vascular tubule formation in vivo more effectively than BMSCs. In NOD/SCID mice, the human vessels inosculated with murine vessels demonstrating their functionality. …”

Control Policy Mix in Measles Transmission Dynamics Using Vaccination, Therapy, and Treatment by Jaharuddin, Toni Bakhtiar

“…Numerical simulations that were carried out using the backward sweep method and Runge–Kutta scheme suggest that optimal controls under moderate and high scenarios can effectively reduce the cases of measles. In particular, the moderate scenario that utilizes the existing coverage level of 86% for MCV1 and 69% for MCV2 can degrade the cost functional by 47% of the low scenario. …”
