Atherogenesis and plaque rupture, surface/interface-related phenomena by Siegel, G., Berkholz, J., Klüßendorf, D., Knosalla, C., Zakrzewicz, A., Ermilov, E., Malmsten, M., Lindman, Bjorn

“…In a previous work, we had found PML-NB, fibrous cap (collagens, proteoglycans) and HSBGF binding sites (e.g., TGFβ1) up-regulated and NFκB down-regulated. With this background knowledge we created a molecular feedback control circuit model where PML-NB functions as regulation centre, fibrous cap as controlled variable, HSBGF binding sites as receptor and NFκB as effector. …”

Position-space renormalization schemes for four-quark operators in HQET by Lin, Joshua, Detmold, William, Meinel, Stefan

“…X-space schemes are gauge-invariant, regulator-independent renormalization schemes that are defined by requiring position-space correlation functions of gauge-invariant operators to be equal to their noninteracting values at particular kinematic points. …”

Distributed hybrid secondary control for a DC microgrid via discrete-time interaction by Liu, Xiao-Kang, He, Haibo, Wang, Yan-Wu, Xu, Qianwen, Guo, Fanghong

“…Under the framework of stability analysis on the closed-loop system, the proposed hybrid dynamic controller achieves both current sharing and voltage regulation if the average interacted interval of the discrete time interaction satisfies a bounded constraint. …”

Age-dependent transcriptional and epigenetic alterations in mouse hepatocytes by Sharma, Ankur

“…This thesis presents the first integrative study of age-dependent transcriptomic changes in mouse hepatocytes and their epigenetic regulation. Using purified mouse hepatocytes of different ploidy, we first established differences in their gene expression patterns by RNA sequencing. …”

Recruitment of Cdc48 to chloroplasts by a UBX-domain protein in chloroplast-associated protein degradation by Li, N, Jarvis, RP

“…Chloroplast-associated protein degradation (CHLORAD) is a ubiquitin-dependent proteolytic system that regulates TOC. In CHLORAD, cytosolic Cdc48 provides motive force for the retrotranslocation of ubiquitinated TOC proteins to the cytosol but how Cdc48 is recruited is unknown. …”
