The role of p53 and ASPP2 in neurodegenerative disease by Turnquist, C

“…We demonstrate that Δ133p53 and p53β directly regulate astrocyte senescence, including the release of key neurotoxic proL inflammatory cytokines such as ILL6 and ILL1β. Also, we show that the p53 isoform switch that occurs during aging and neurodegeneration promotes neuronal toxicity using coL culture experiments with human iPSC-derived motor neurons and human astrocytes. …”

Essays on blood supply management by Senga, Juan Ramon Liboro

“…The results show that more mature blood banks have more strategies available at their disposal when it comes to trying to maintain fill-rates. We also observe that the dynamic donation rate strategy results in lower fill-rates during disasters when the fill-rate is low despite being able to meet donation targets, and that multiple waves with short lead times exacerbate this effect. …”
