Why did Putin invade Ukraine? A theory of degenerate autocracy

American Journal of Political Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Many dictatorships end up with a series of disastrous decisions such as Hitler's attack on the Soviet Union or Saddam Hussein's aggression against Kuwait. Even if a certain policy choice is not ultimately fatal for the regime, such as Mao's Big Leap Forward or the Pol Pot's collectivization drive, they typically involve both a miscalculation ...

Long non‐coding RNAs at the crossroads of inflammation, cancer and angiogenesis: Molecular mechanisms and their potential as therapeutic targets

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs), a broad class of non‐protein‐coding RNAs, are characterized as new regulators of gene expression at the epigenetic, transcriptional, and post‐transcriptional level. Thus, lncRNAs are involved in the regulation of physiological processes and the development of human diseases and cancer by modulating proinflammatory ...

LAMC2+ Epithelial Cells Drive Bladder Cancer Progression and Predict Immunotherapy Response via SERPINB3/STAT3/CD44 Axis

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
This study identified LAMC2+ epithelial cells through single‐cell sequencing and found that high expression of LAMC2 is associated with the malignant progression of bladder cancer. HdWGCNA and transcriptome sequencing revealed the SerpinB3/STAT3/CD44 axis. Diosmetin was selected as a potential LAMC2 inhibitor.

A Simple Grid‐Maps Pipeline: Restructured, Accelerated and Upgraded

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Grid maps – spatially arranged small multiples – are a powerful tool to show complex geospatial data. Meulemans et al. (2020) introduced a pipeline for computing high‐quality grid maps that are shaped roughly according to their containing geographic outlines.
