Article Synopsis
  • Robotic manure cleaners in pig farming face challenges in navigating through randomly distributed pigs to efficiently clean designated areas while minimizing processing time and avoiding collisions.
  • The study introduces the Cellular Automata Slime Mold Algorithm (CASMA), which enhances the decision-making process of these robots by improving convergence speed and search accuracy through cellular automaton interactions.
  • Performance tests show that CASMA outperforms traditional algorithms in terms of step consumption and processing time, resulting in a more efficient manure-cleaning process that ultimately benefits animal welfare on the farm.

mutation is the main mechanism of resistance to the first and second generation tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) for patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Ponatinib as the third generation TKI has been found that can significantly improve the prognosis of CML patients with mutation. However, the latest report has discovered that the compound mutant is even resistant to ponatinib, which aroused the enthusiasm of research on the mechanism of CML resistance and targeted therapy once again.

Abstract  The minimal residual disease (MRD) is the origin element that caused the relapse and drug resistance of hematological malignancies, the immune cells play a great role to clear MRD. A variety of immune cells have anti-tumor effects. However, tumor cells antagonize anti-tumor effects by reprogramming of constituents associated with tumor environment.

The replicative senescence of mesenchymal stem cells(MSC) during the in vitro expansion limits their use in the research and treatment of many disease. Also, MSC senescence may promote the individual senility, hypofunction of tissue and organ, and tumorigenesis. Thus, in order to better understand the senescent mechanism and delay the senescence, even reverse MSC senescence, the roles of signaling pathway, such as Wnt/β-catenin, MAPK/ERK, PI3K/AKT and ROS-related signaling pathway during the MSC senescence all were reviewed, so as to can deepen the under-standing of MSC senescence and provide a new thinkings for delaying, even reversing the MSC senescence.

More and more studies have demonstrated that bone marrow microenvironment, the fundament of the multiplication and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells, plays a crucial role in leukemia progression and resistance to treatment. It provides a permissive environment for minimal residual disease and contributes to relapse and multidrug resistance. Mesenchymal stem cells are a kind of important stromal cells in bone marrow niche.

An autostereoscopic 3D display with high brightness and low crosstalk is proposed. This display consists of a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel, a reflective light source (RLS), and a parallax barrier or lenticular lens. The RLS behind the LCD panel consists of a light source, a light guide plate, and a reflection cavity.

Multiple myeloma (MM)is a kind of plasma tumor originated from B cell line. Its incidence ranks in second place of hematopoietic malignancies. Although continued progress was made in treatment of MM,the survival rate and prognosis of MM patients are still not satisfactory.
