Allogeneic Islet Transplantation: Chronicle of a Death Foretold? by Thierry Berney, Thierry Berney, Thierry Berney, Olivier Thaunat, Olivier Thaunat, Olivier Thaunat, Ekaterine Berishvili, Ekaterine Berishvili, Ekaterine Berishvili, Ekaterine Berishvili

“…There is no question that “closed loop” systems have already greatly improved the management of type 1 diabetes, but, while “unlimited” sources of insulin-producing cells are jockeying for approval as standard-of-care, these improvements are more likely to drive a shift of indications -from islet transplant alone to simultaneous islet-kidney transplantation- than to herald the demise of islet transplantation.…”

Decentralized active fault tolerant control of direct current microgrids under actuator and source disturbances using proportional integral unknown input observer by Mohammed Said Ouahabi, Said Barkat, Abdelhafid Benyounes, Toufik Rekioua, Syphax Ihammouchen, Habib Benbouhenni, Z. M. S. Elbarbary, Mohammed M. Alammar

“…The proposed linear quadratic regulator (LQR)-based UI-PIO strategy optimizes the trade-off between control performance and energy consumption, ensuring efficient operation under normal conditions and minimizing disruptions during fault states while robust to load variation. The stability and robustness of the closed-loop system under load variations are ensured through Lyapunov’s conditions, solved by the linear matrix inequality technique. …”

Demonstration of the presence of the "deleted" MIR122 gene in HepG2 cells. by Ibrahim A Y Hamad, Yue Fei, Anastasia Z Kalea, Dan Yin, Andrew J P Smith, Jutta Palmen, Steve E Humphries, Philippa J Talmud, Ann P Walker

“…Several groups reported that the widely-used hepatocytic cell line HepG2 had deficient expression of miR-122, previously ascribed to deletion of the pre-mir-122 stem-loop region. We aimed to characterise this deletion by direct sequencing of 6078 bp containing the pri-mir-122 promoter and pre-mir-122 stem-loop region in HepG2 and Huh-7, a control hepatocytic cell line reported to express miR-122, supported by sequence analysis of cloned genomic DNA. …”

Modeling complex systems in animal science: A pedagogical framework for new researchers by Luis Orlindo Tedeschi, Dan Tulpan, Hector M. Menendez III, Ricardo Augusto Mendonça Vieira

“…This review provides a comprehensive pedagogical framework for new researchers in animal science modeling, addressing the critical gap between general modeling theory and domain-specific applications. While modeling typically begins with conceptualization using visual aids such as causal loop diagrams, stock and flow diagrams, mind maps, and flowcharts to organize relationships among variables, there is a notable lack of resources that effectively bridge theoretical concepts with practical applications in animal science. …”
