Clonal Populations of Amniotic Cells by Dilution and Direct Plating: Evidence for Hidden Diversity by Patricia G. Wilson, Lorna Devkota, Tiffany Payne, Laddie Crisp, Allison Winter, Zhan Wang

“…We first developed a highly efficient method to generate clonal populations by dilution of amniocentesis samples in media and direct plating without intervening refrigeration, centrifugation, or exposure of cells to the paracrine effects in mixed cell cultures. More than 40 clonal populations were recovered from 4 amniocentesis samples and representative clones were characterized by flow cytometry, conventional assays for differentiation potential, immunofluorescence imaging, and transcript analysis. …”

Immune regulation is more effective in the U937 inflammation model with mesenchymal stem cell extracellular vesicles stimulated by pro-inflammatory cytokines by Canan Öztürk, Zehra S. Halbutoğullari

“…MSCs also exert immunoregulatory effects through extracellular vesicles (EVs), cell membrane structures that carry paracrine factors. It is thought that the mediators (cytokines, growth factors, etc.) secreted by stem cells change under inflammatory conditions, and the therapeutic activity of MSCs increases. …”

When “Things Fall Apart”: Thinking Through Absurdity with Arendt and Aseyev by Cana Beverage

“…War often occasions such moments, not just because of the moral and political turmoil that accompanies it or the physical damage it inflicts upon people and their environments, but also because of its absurdity; this latter feature, the absurdity of war, is captured by Stanislav Aseyev, a Donetsk-born Ukrainian writer, in his books In Isolation: Dispatches from Occupied Donbas and The Torture Camp on Paradise Street. In this essay, I argue that Aseyev’s reflections on Russian occupation, imprisonment, and torture demonstrate both the special value of Arendt’s “thinking” for those enduring war and violence and reveal a pre-moral-political capacity of “thinking” latent but never explicit in Arendt’s work: the power to cope with the absurd qua absurd.…”
