Ecological Adaptation Mechanisms Underlying Successful Plant Reproduction
During floral induction, various environmental and endogenous signals converge to regulate the florigen protein, which is transported from leaves to the SAM to initiate flowering. Within the SAM, a complex network of receptor kinases and small peptides orchestrates floral development with high spatiotemporal precision.

Mitigating the Effects of CEO Overconfidence: A Group Information Processing Perspective
ABSTRACT Research Question/Issue This study explores the moderating effects of board network centrality on the relationship between CEO overconfidence and acquisition intensity. Research Findings/Insights Using a panel of S&P 1500 firms from 2002 to 2018, we find that CEO overconfidence is positively associated with acquisition intensity.

Ex-vivo and in vivo cytotoxic assay for human CIK cells.
A. Ex-vivo cytotoxicity assay of CIK cells against human cancer cell lines in terms of the percentage of cells expressing Annexin 5 and AAD7. In the case of the K562 cell line, the effector:target ratio (E:T) ranged from 1:10 to 5:1 (N = 3).

SMAC mimetic BV6 enables sensitization of resistant tumor cells but also affects cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells: a potential challenge for combination therapy [PDF]
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is an established treatment option for high-risk hematological malignancies, and may also be offered to patients with solid malignancies refractory to conventional therapies.
