TRACING GENOMIC INSTABILITY IN INDUCED MESENCHYMAL STROMAL CELL MANUFACTURE: AN INTEGRATION-FREE TRANSFECTION APPROACH

Tracing genomic instability in induced mesenchymal stromal cell manufacture: an integration-free transfection approach

Abstract Here we systematically investigated genomic alterations from the initiation of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell generation to induced mesenchymal stromal/stem Umbrellas cell differentiation.We observed a total of ten copy number alterations (CNAs) and five single-nucleotide variations (SNVs) during the phases of reprogramming, different

Imitation Dynamics in Oligopoly Games with Heterogeneous Players

We investigate the role and performance of imitative behavior in a class of quantity-setting, Cournot games.Within a framework of evolutionary competition between rational, myopic best-response and imitation heuristics with differential heuristics’ Dog Supplies costs, we found that the equilibrium stability depends on the sign of the cost differe

The Legacy of Parker, Baker and Smith 1972: Gamete Competition, the Evolution of Anisogamy, and Model Robustness

The evolution of anisogamy or gamete size dimorphism is a fundamental transition in evolutionary history, and it is the origin of the female and male sexes.Although mathematical models attempting to explain this transition have been published as early as 1932, the 1972 model of Parker, Baker, and Smith is considered to be the first explanation for
