THE SELF-GOVERNMENT PARADIGM IN THE FORMATION AND FUNCTIONING OF THE DEMOCRATIC RULE-OF-LAW STATE: DETERMINING THE CONTENT, ROLE AND MEANING by Mykhaylo O. Baymuratov, Воris Ya. Kofman

“…It is noted that the self-governing paradigm is based on the managerial humanistic- self-governing paradigm "human rights - municipal human rights - municipal person", which, firstly, acts as its content, and, secondly, acts as a strategic and basic direction in the formation and the functioning of a democratic legal state, because it is within the limits of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that a person: a) carries out his life cycle; b) realizes all his life aspirations, needs and interests, which are transformed into human rights; c) the constitutional and legal status of a person and a citizen is realized in the sphere of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. …”

The two-loop fully differential soft function for $$Q\overline{Q }V$$ production at lepton colliders by Ze Long Liu, Pier Francesco Monni

“…This result is an essential ingredient for a range of N3LL resummations for key collider observables at lepton colliders, such as the $$Q\overline{Q }V$$ production cross section at threshold and observables sensitive to the total transverse momentum of the radiation in heavy-quark final states. Moreover, it constitutes the complete final-final dipole contribution to the fully differential soft function needed for the description of $$Q\overline{Q }V$$ production at hadron colliders, which plays an important role in the LHC physics programme.…”

Identification of human nephron progenitors capable of generation of kidney structures and functional repair of chronic renal disease by Orit Harari‐Steinberg, Sally Metsuyanim, Dorit Omer, Yehudit Gnatek, Rotem Gershon, Sara Pri‐Chen, Derya D. Ozdemir, Yaniv Lerenthal, Tzahi Noiman, Herzel Ben‐Hur, Zvi Vaknin, David F. Schneider, Bruce J. Aronow, Ronald S. Goldstein, Peter Hohenstein, Benjamin Dekel

“…After transplantation in the chick embryo, these cells—but not differentiated counterparts—efficiently formed various nephron tubule types. hNPCs engrafted and integrated in diseased murine kidneys and treatment of renal failure in the 5/6 nephrectomy kidney injury model had beneficial effects on renal function halting disease progression. These findings constitute the first definition of an intrinsic nephron precursor population, with major potential for cell‐based therapeutic strategies and modelling of kidney disease.…”

Beyond basic characterization and omics: Immunomodulatory roles of platelet‐derived extracellular vesicles unveiled by functional testing by Mari Palviainen, Johanna Puutio, Rikke Halse Østergaard, Johannes A. Eble, Katariina Maaninka, Umar Butt, Joseph Ndika, Otto K. Kari, Masood Kamali‐Moghaddam, Kasper Kjaer‐Sorensen, Claus Oxvig, Ana M. Aransay, Juan M. Falcon‐Perez, Antonio Federico, Dario Greco, Saara Laitinen, Yuya Hayashi, Pia R.‐M. Siljander

“…In contrast, omics analyses of protein and miRNA cargo combined with physicochemical particle characterization found only subtle differences between the activated PEV types, which were insufficient to predict their different immunomodulatory functions. In contrast, constitutively released PEVs, formed in the absence of an exogenous activator, displayed a distinct immunomodulatory profile from the receptor‐induced PEVs. …”
