Apelin in Reproductive Physiology and Pathology of Different Species: A Critical Review by Patrycja Kurowska, Alix Barbe, Marta Różycka, Justyna Chmielińska, Joelle Dupont, Agnieszka Rak

“…Thus, apelin is synthesized locally in the hypothalamus, pituitary, ovaries, and testis of many species and has autocrine and/or paracrine effects. Most research indicates that apelin has an inhibitory effect on gonadotropin secretion and participates in the direct regulation of steroidogenesis, cell proliferation, and apoptosis in gonads. …”

Comparative Effects of Umbilical Cord- and Menstrual Blood-Derived MSCs in Repairing Acute Lung Injury by Haitao Ren, Qiang Zhang, Jinfu Wang, Ruolang Pan

“…These findings suggest that MSCs protected the lipopolysaccharide-induced ALI model by regulating inflammation, most likely via paracrine factors. Moreover, MSCs derived from the UC may be a promising alternative for ALI treatment.…”

La possessione nella pantomima by Manlio Marinelli

“…The author examines various sources in this regard: the treatise De Saltatione by Lucian of Samosata, excerpts from Dion of Prusa and Plutarch, and some epigrams from the Palatine Anthology. From the sources, it is possible to highlight that during the performance the spectators and pantomimes shared a state of mania: Dion and Plutarch state that this particular condition had a bad influence on the psychological balance of the performer and the audience, while Lucian proposes two different categories of pantomime: the best is able to manage the state of mania, in contrast to the second that loses his abilities as well as control of himself.…”
