Pharmacological Therapy in the Heart as an Alternative to Cellular Therapy: A Place for the Brain Natriuretic Peptide? by Nathalie Rosenblatt-Velin, Suzanne Badoux, Lucas Liaudet

“…Indeed, differentiation and/or proliferation of cardiac precursor cells is controlled by various endogenous mediators, such as growth factors and cytokines, which could thus be used as pharmacological agents to promote regeneration. To illustrate such approach, we present recent results showing that the exogenous administration of the natriuretic peptide BNP triggers “endogenous” cardiac regeneration, following experimental myocardial infarction.…”

Réflexion sur l'organisation dans une nouvelle optique. Enquête sur le fondement ontologique de l'organisation by James R. Taylor

“…Cet article propose une théorie de l'organisation qui se prête à l'étude du changement en attirant l'attention sur deux phénomènes quelque peu négligés, à savoir : l'origine de la hiérarchie dans la communication et le rôle joué par cette dernière dans la constitution de l'identité de l'organisation en tant qu'agente. L’auteur soutient que l'organisation débute sous le couvert d’une coorientation vers un objet commun, caractérisée par des relations de mandant·e à mandataire. …”

Utilizing Cytokines to Function-Enable Human NK Cells for the Immunotherapy of Cancer by Rizwan Romee, Jeffrey W. Leong, Todd A. Fehniger

“…Here, we review the roles of major cytokines that regulate human NK cell development, survival, and function, including IL-2, IL-12, IL-15, IL-18, and IL-21, and their translation to the clinic as immunotherapy agents. We highlight a recent development in NK cell biology, the identification of innate NK cell memory, and focus on cytokine-induced memory-like (CIML) NK cells that result from a brief, combined activation with IL-12, IL-15, and IL-18. …”
