The scRNA-sequencing landscape of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma revealed distinct cell populations associated with tumor initiation and progression by Ying Wang, Zhouliang Bian, Lichao Xu, Guangye Du, Zihao Qi, Yanjie Zhang, Jiang Long, Wentao Li

“…The knockdown of MMP1 in pancreatic cancer cell lines decreased the expression of ductal markers such as SOX9 while the overexpression of MMP1 in hTERT-HPNE increased the expression of ductal markers, suggesting its function of maintaining ductal identity. Secondly, we found a S100A2+ tumor subset which fueled lymph node metastasis in PDAC. …”

Principles of construction of a multifunctional intelligent electric energy meter with advanced communication and functional capabilities by I. A. Magomedov, M. N. Khidivov, A. I. Magomedov

“…The principles of the construction of the IEE have been developed, which makes it possible to create IEE with expanded communication and functional capabilities for the ASUE.Conclusion. Using them in ASCUE posvolit: -to build self-adjusting mesh networks based on them, which can be used in the construction of ASCS with increased survivability; -to ensure the exchange of accounting and service information with the ASKUE over the radio channel, PCL modem and RS-485 (CAN) interface, which increases the reliability of obtaining accounting information and integrate the MISEE into existing ASKUE, because it makes it possible to select the appropriate type of specific ASKUE interface or communication interfaces "counter-ASKUE";- regulate energy consumption and independent disconnection of the consumer from the network for each subscriber unit (separately for each subscriber) in case of arrears of payments, network overload and unauthorized access to the nodes and blocks of the meter in various ways;- to improve the operating conditions of the meter when organizing electronic payments and increasing the reliability of accounting information due to contactless remote removal of information by means of communication interfaces for each subscriber or by means of an individual remote control (remote control).…”
