Targeted hematopoietic stem cell depletion through SCF-blockade by Chan, Yan Y., Ho, Pui Y., Dib, Carla, Swartzrock, Leah, Rayburn, Maire, Willner, Hana, Ko, Ethan, Ho, Katie, Down, Julian D., Wilkinson, Adam C., Nakauchi, Hiro, Denis, Morgane, Cool, Taylor, Czechowicz, Agnieszka

“…Abstract Background Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is a curative treatment for many diverse blood and immune diseases. However, HSCT regimens currently commonly utilize genotoxic chemotherapy and/or total body irradiation (TBI) conditioning which causes significant morbidity and mortality through inducing broad tissue damage triggering infections, graft vs. host disease, infertility, and secondary cancers. …”

Forces on oscillating uniform and tapered cylinders in a crossflow by Hover, F. S., Techet, A. H., Triantafyllou, M.S.

“…Calculation of the cross-correlation coefficient between forces at the two ends of the uniform cylinder reveals five distinct regimes as a function of the nominal reduced velocity Vrn: two regimes, for low and high values of Vrn, and far away from the value of VrS corresponding to the Strouhal frequency, show small correlation; two regimes immediately adjacent to, but excluding, VrS show strong correlation, close to 1; surprisingly, there is a regime containing the Strouhal frequency, within which correlation is low. …”

In Vivo RNA Delivery to Hematopoietic Stem and Progenitor Cells via Targeted Lipid Nanoparticles by Shi, Dennis, Toyonaga, Sho, Anderson, Daniel G

“…However, these therapies have several limitations owing to the manufacturing complexities and toxicity resulting from required conditioning regimens. Here, we developed a c-kit (CD117) antibody-targeted lipid nanoparticle (LNP) that, following a single intravenous injection, can deliver RNA (both siRNA and mRNA) to HSCs in vivo in rodents. …”

Is social media really that effective for communicating budget policies to citizens? – a case study of the Singapore budget 2018 by Chin, Zhao Wei

“…Citizen feedback is collected using an online public survey, of which demographical factors such as age, educational qualifications and employment status were cross-tabulated and suggest that social media avenues such as Facebook may not be the best way to communicate budget policy to certain segments of the population. Moreover, there is a risk of investing too much focus on social media, such that other segments of the population may be neglected. …”

Criteria for Crack Formation and Air Invasion in Drying Colloidal Suspensions by Lilin, Paul, Bischofberger, Irmgard

“…We show that the pressure inside the deposit controls both the onset of crack formation and the onset of air invasion. Two distinct regimes of air invasion occur, which we can account for using the same model that further provides a quantitative criterion for the crossover between the two regimes.…”
