Article Synopsis
- - The RBCC engine is a promising propulsion system for launching vehicles into orbit, but maintaining efficient combustion during mode transitions is challenging due to low incoming flow temperatures.
- - New research proposes using plasma combustion support to enhance RBCC engine performance during these mode transitions, particularly from ejector/ramjet to ramjet/scramjet modes.
- - Numerical simulations indicate that adding arc plasma increases heat release and thrust while reducing aerodynamic drag during transitions, and it also stabilizes thrust fluctuations and decreases transition times at high Mach numbers.
Background And Objectives: Manipulating different signaling pathways via small molecules could efficiently induce cardiomyocytes from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSC). However, the effect of transcription factors on the hiPSC-directed cardiomyocytes differentiation remains unclear. Transcription factor, p53 has been demonstrated indispensable for the early embryonic development and mesendodermal differentiation of embryonic stem cells (ESC).

It is constitutively expressed in quiescent epithelial cells and downregulated during tumorigenesis, and Ecrg4 expression levels are inversely correlated with the malignant phenotype of tumor cells, validating that Ecrg4 is a real tumor suppressor gene. Unlike other tumor suppressor genes that usually encode membrane or intracellular proteins, Ecrg4 encodes a 148-amino acid pre-pro-peptide that is tethered on the cell surface in epithelial cells, specialized epithelial cells, and human leukocytes, where it can be processed tissue dependently into several small peptides upon cell activation.
