MiR34 involvement in myocardial injury repair and ageing has been well documented in mouse model. Our aim was to establish whether the inhibition of miR34 expression through locked nucleic acid (LNA) could be used as a pharmacological intervention to enhance human heart repair. Cardiac progenitor cells were obtained b…

We study distributed agreement in synchronous directed dynamic networks, where an omniscient message adversary controls the presence/absence of communication links. We prove that consensus is impossible under a message adversary that guarantees weak connectivity only, and introduce eventually vertex-stable source comp…

Electronic and topological properties of two-dimensional germanene modified by functional group X (X = H, F, OH, CH₃) at full coverage are studied with first-principles calculation. Without considering the effect of spin-orbit coupling (SOC), all functionalized configurations become semiconductors, removing the Dirac…

Recent investigations on the interactions of bacteria with micro/nanostructures have revealed a wide range of prokaryotic responses that were previously unknown. Despite these advances, however, it remains unclear how collective bacterial behavior on a surface would be influenced by the presence of anisotropic nanostr…
