Selection-Mutation Dynamics of Signaling Games

We study the structure of the rest points of signaling games and their dynamic behavior under selection-mutation dynamics by taking the case of three signals as our canonical example.Many rest points of the replicator dynamics Cleansing Balm of signaling games are not isolated and, therefore, not robust under perturbations.However, some of them att

The effects of Korean Red Ginseng on heme oxygenase-1 with a focus on mitochondrial function in pathophysiologic conditions

Korean Red Ginseng (KRG) plays a key role in heme oxygenase (HO)-1 induction under physical and moderate oxidative stress conditions.The transient and mild induction of HO-1 is beneficial for vestito cell protection, mitochondrial function, regeneration, and intercellular communication.However, chronic HO-1 overexpression is detrimental in severely
