Transcriptional regulation of type I interferon responses of myeloid antigen presenting cells by Sin, Wei Xiang

“…IL-27p28-mediated IFN-β production, and not IL-27 cytokine itself, is required to restrain inflammatory responses to endotoxin exposure, since BMDMs deficient in IL-27p28 displayed reduced IL-10 synthesis and impaired STAT3-mediated anti-inflammatory responses, which were reversed by addition of exogenous IFN-β. …”

Sanctions with Chinese characteristics : the effects of China's sanctions rhetoric on its behaviour by Poh, Angela Ming Yan

“…Given the conventional belief among scholars and practitioners of international relations that economic sanctions are a middle ground between diplomatic and military/paramilitary action, an empirical puzzle arises: Why has China – widely perceived as an assertive rising power – appeared relatively restrained in its use of economic sanctions? This puzzle will be the core research question for this study. …”
