RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN T CELL IMMUNITY PARAMETERS AND SMOOTH-CELL CARCINOMA ANTIGEN (SCCA) CONTENTS IN BLOOD SERUM FROM THE PATIENTS WITH LOCAL DISSEMINATED FORMS OF UTERINE CERVIX... by I. L. Baturina, I. Yu. Orner, O. S. Abramovskikh, L. F. Telesheva, A. V, Zharov, K. V. Nikushkina

“…Determination of SCCA levels in blood serum of women with locally disseminated forms of uterine cervical cancer has a great significance for estimation the extent of lesions, tumor progression patterns, as well as treatment monitoring. During our study, we have determined that, before starting a specific treatment, all the patients with locally disseminated forms of cervical cancer had high serum levels of SCCA, along with suppressed anti-tumor immunity.Interestingly, high SCCA levels in blood serum proved to correlate with a decrease in anti-tumor immunity factors in those patients who showed a negative dynamics of tumor progression within one year after the therapy was performed. …”

Brain dynamics and personality: a preliminary study by Francesco Ciaramella, Lorenzo Cipriano, Emahnuel Troisi Lopez, Arianna Polverino, Fabio Lucidi, Giuseppe Sorrentino, Laura Mandolesi, Pierpaolo Sorrentino

“…The present preliminary study explores the dynamic interplay between brain flexibility and personality by taking the dynamic approach to personality into account, thereby drawing from Cloninger's psychobiological model. 46 healthy individuals were recruited, and their brain dynamics were assessed using magnetoencephalography (MEG) during the resting state. We identified brain activation patterns and measured brain flexibility by employing the theory of neuronal avalanches. …”

Inheritance of OCT4 predetermines fate choice in human embryonic stem cells by Samuel C Wolff, Katarzyna M Kedziora, Raluca Dumitru, Cierra D Dungee, Tarek M Zikry, Adriana S Beltran, Rachel A Haggerty, JrGang Cheng, Margaret A Redick, Jeremy E Purvis

“…By tracking single‐cell OCT4 levels over multiple cell cycle generations, we found that the decision to differentiate is largely determined before the differentiation stimulus is presented and can be predicted by a cell's preexisting OCT4 signaling patterns. We further quantified how maternal OCT4 levels were transmitted to, and distributed between, daughter cells. …”
