Immunoregulatory mechanisms of the arachidonic acid pathway in cancer
The central role of the arachidonic acid (AA) pathway in anticancer immunity. Enzymes and metabolites of the AA pathway can play both immunosuppressive and immunostimulatory roles in the tumor microenvironment. Therefore, their tailored targeting could be beneficial as a standalone therapy or in combination with current cancer immunotherapy.

From Babylonian lunar observations to Floquet multipliers and Conley-Zehnder Indices [PDF]
The lunar periods of our moon -- the companion of the Earth -- which date back to the Babylonians until around 600 BCE, are 29.53 days for the synodic, 27.55 days for the anomalistic and 27.21 days for the draconitic month. In this paper we define and compute these periods in terms of Floquet multipliers and Conley--Zehnder indices for planar periodic ...

Reparameterized Variational Rejection Sampling [PDF]
Traditional approaches to variational inference rely on parametric families of variational distributions, with the choice of family playing a critical role in determining the accuracy of the resulting posterior approximation. Simple mean-field families often lead to poor approximations, while rich families of distributions like normalizing flows can be

Academic family practice [PDF]
In many countries, the imperatives of service delivery, the constraints of shrinking resources and the increasing demands of a well-informed yet frequently risk-taking population conspire to threaten the viability of clinical academic medicine. In many countries, Academies are looking hard at ways of making clinical academic careers more appealing and ...
