EVOLUTIONARY AUTONOMOUS AGENTS AND THE NATURE OF APRAXIA

Evolutionary autonomous agents and the nature of apraxia

Abstract Background Evolutionary autonomous agents are robots or robot simulations whose controller is a dynamical neural network and whose evolution occurs autonomously under the guidance of a fitness function without the detailed or explicit direction of an external programmer.They are embodied agents with a simple neural network controller and a

The process of EDC-NHS cross-linking of reconstituted collagen fibres increases collagen fibrillar order and alignment

We describe the production of collagen fibre bundles through a multi-strand, semi-continuous extrusion process.Cross-linking using an EDC (1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide), skull bride and groom NHS (N-hydroxysuccinimide) combination was considered.Atomic Force Microscopy and Raman spectroscopy focused on how cross-linking affected th

The dual role of CXCL9/SPP1 polarized tumor-associated macrophages in modulating anti-tumor immunity in hepatocellular carcinoma

IntroductionThe main challenge for cancer therapy lies in immuno-suppressive tumor micro-environment.Reprogramming tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) into an anti-tumor phenotype is a promising strategy.MethodsA comprehensive analysis by combing multi-regional single-cell, bulk and spatial transcriptome profiling with radiomics characterization wa
