We study a bijective map from integer partitions to the prime factorizations of integers that we call “supernorm” partition, in which multiplicities parts are mapped factors natural numbers. The supernorm is connected family maps define, suggests potential apply techniques partition theory identify and prove multiplicative properties integers. As an application “supernormal” mappings (i.e., per...

Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is one of the most severe skin diseases and caused by loss-of-function mutations in COL7A1 encoding type VII collagen (C7). Patients with RDEB suffer since birth from mucosal blistering develop local systemic complications resulting a poor prognosis. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSC) have been shown to therapeutic potential improve wound healing i...

This paper deals with intonation of spontaneous Russian. It contains a description of the principles of prosodic annotation used in the new corpus of spontaneous speech—CoRuSS, and statistical data derived from this corpus. The prosodic annotation system was developed specially for the purpose; it is an extension and development of a well-known system of Intonation Constructions by E. A. Bryzgu...

Human mesenchymal stem cells pretreatment with IL-17A (MSC-17) potently enhances T cell immunosuppression but not their immunogenicity, in addition to avidly promoting the induction of suppressive regulatory T cells. The aim of this study was to identify potential mechanisms by which human MSC-17 mediate their superior immunomodulatory function. Untreated-MSC (UT-MSC), IFN-γ treated MSC (MSC-γ)...

There is increasing trend in using recombinant stem cells as novel therapeutic candidates in different diseases. These studies encompass different applications from targeted homing of Mesenchymal Stromal (stem) Cells (MSC), to arming them with different cytokines. Resistance to transfection or transduction methods had urged researchers to look for better gene delivery alternates and optimizing ...

A growing number of autoimmune diseases, allergies, and atopic conditions in recent years are calling for the development innovative therapies, such as those using stem cells with immunoregulatory activity. Because few often conflicting results scientific literature, it is still uncertain whether mesenchymal (MSC) could be a useful therapeutic strategy targeting B lymphocytes helpful treating a...
