Public imagination and academic scholarship present queer migrants as being uprooted due to their embodiment of non-normative sexual identities. Drawing from ethnographic research with a male sex worker-led organisation (SLO) in Nairobi, including 41 in-depth interviews members, this paper explores perceived uprootedness by highlighting Kenyan migrants’ multi-layered multi-dimensional social ex...

Background: Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs) transplantation has been considered as a promising milestone in liver fibrosis treatment. However, low amounts of homing are a major obstacle. We aimed to investigate the role of melatonin pretreatment in BMMSC homing into experimental liver fibrosis. Methods: BMMSCs were obtained, grown, propagated and preconditioned with 5 &micro...

Clinical applications of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) rely on their capacity to home and engraft in the appropriate target tissues for a long time. Homing and engraftment capacity of these stem cells depend on the expression of Chemokines and their receptors. Ex vivo expanded MSCs exhibit homing potential when grafted to injury tissue but their homing efficiency has been observed very poor bec...

Stem/progenitor cell based therapeutic approach in our daily routine clinical practice, has been elusive dream in medical sciences and improvement of stem cell homing as one of major challenges in cell therapy programs, has been considered a promising milestone. It has been proved that stem/progenitor cells exhibit a homing response to injured tissues/organs, mediated by interactions of chemoki...

Companies seeking to ensure that their Internet connection is resilient often purchase services from multiple providers. This leads them inexorably towards having their IP address range visible in the global routing table, increasing the resource usage of every Internet router. Since this is essentially ‘free’, yet impacts the cost and stability of every router in the world, this is a classic ‘...

Existing studies suggest that platform access restriction may cause restricted complementors to switch competing platforms, which will increase complement quantity on platforms. We re-examine this prediction by accounting for the impact of economies scope complementor responses restriction. argue restricting a complementor’s prevent it from achieving multi-homing, thereby incentivizing abandon ...

We propose an analysis of platform competition based on the academic literature with a view towards policy. First, we discuss to which extent can emerge in digital markets and show forms it take. In particular, underline role dynamics, but also differentiation, consumers multi-homing beliefs allow markets. Second, analyze policy issues how rules designed for standard perform two-sided that mult...

The large-scale spatial dynamics and population structure of marine top predators are poorly known. We present electronic tag and photographic identification data showing a complex suite of behavioral patterns in white sharks. These include coastal return migrations and the fastest known transoceanic return migration among swimming fauna, which provide direct evidence of a link between widely s...
