Leucocyte subset-specific type 1 interferon signatures in SLE and other immune-mediated diseases.
“Pay what you want” as threshold public good provision
Prevailing wisdom on “pay what you want” (PWYW) pricing focuses on the influence of altruism or fairness on consumers’ payments. In this paper, we offer a different perspective by demonstrating that, if the seller and consumers...
Culture moderates biases in search decisions
Prior studies suggest that people often search insufficiently in sequential-search tasks compared with the predictions of benchmark optimal strategies that maximize expected payoff. However, those studies were mostly conducted...
Resource allocation decisions under imperfect evaluation and organizational dynamics
Research and development (R&D) projects face significant organizational challenges, especially when the different units who run these projects compete among each other for resources. In such cases, information sharing among the...
Non-displaceable Lagrangian links in four-manifolds
Abstract: Let ω denote an area form on S2. Consider the closed symplectic 4-manifold M=(S2×S2, Aω⊕aω) with 0
The Treatment of Cartilage Damage Using Human Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Derived Extracellular Vesicles
Damage to joints through injury or disease can result in cartilage loss, which if left untreated can lead to inflammation and ultimately osteoarthritis. There is currently no cure for osteoarthritis and management focusses on...
Optimal supplier selection and order allocation for multi-product manufacturing featuring customer flexibility
Efficient and effective supplier-selection and order-allocation decisions are critical for manufacturing industries to ensure stable material flows in today’s highly competitive supply chain, in particular, when customers are...
Detecting Small Vessel Pathology in Cocaine Use Disorder
Background Cocaine use is associated with an increased risk of cerebrovascular accidents. Small vessel pathology has been linked to the risk of stroke in cocaine users, but can be...
Dimensions of the Parent-Child Relationship
Mendelian Randomization Studies of Lifestyle-Related Risk Factors for Osteoarthritis
Risk factors for osteoarthritis (OA) often exert effects over protracted time-courses. Mendelian randomization (MR) studies therefore have an advantage over conventional observational studies when studying the causal effect of...
Multi-Modal Imaging in Down's Syndrome
In recent decades, the field of neuroimaging has experienced a surge of popularity and innovation which has led to significant advancements in the understanding of neurological disease, if not immediate clinical translation. In...

BACKGROUND: Both fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and HbA1c are recommended for the diagnosis of diabetes and prediabetes by the American Diabetes Association (ADA), and for diabetes by the World Health Organization. The ADA...
Infrapatellar fat pad adipose-derived stem cells co-cultured with articular chondrocytes from osteoarthritis patients exhibit increased chondrogenic gene expression.
AIM: The variable results in clinical trials of adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) for chondral defects may be due to the different ex vivo culture conditions of the ASCs which are implanted to treat the lesions. We sought...
Optimal supplier selection and order allocation for multi-product manufacturing featuring customer flexibility
Efficient and effective supplier-selection and order-allocation decisions are critical for manufacturing industries to ensure stable material flows in today’s highly competitive supply chain, in particular, when customers are...
Route vs. segment
We report the results of an experimental study of route choice in congestible networks with a common origin and common destination. In one condition, in each round of play network users independently committed themselves at the...
