The Burning Water

A deadly virus is ravaging the world's population, killing millions of men. But some are mysteriously immune - gay men and women seem unaffected. As society crumbles, one young journalist races to uncover the truth behind the virus's origins and spread. Jasper Green was just looking for his next big story in China when he stumbled upon patient zero - an African boy who had escaped from a secret research facility in North Korea. Now Jasper finds himself at the epicenter of a global pandemic that threatens to wipe out most of humanity. As he struggles to stay alive and report on the unfolding catastrophe, Jasper makes a shocking discovery about who is vulnerable to the virus and why. The implications could reshape human society forever - if civilization can survive. This gripping medical thriller explores themes of sexuality, gender roles, and how society might change in the aftermath of a devastating plague. With pulse-pounding suspense and thought-provoking ideas, The Burning Water imagines a world forever altered by a virus that discriminates based on sexual orientation. An electrifying read that feels all too plausible in our post-COVID world.

Embodying Middle Class Gender Aspirations

This book takes a feminist approach to analyse the lives of well-educated urban Chinese women, who were raised to embody the ideals of a modern Chinese nation and are largely the beneficiaries of the policy changes of the post-Mao era. It explores young women’s gendered attitudes to and experiences of marriage, reproductive choices, careers and aspirations for a good life. It sheds light on what keeps mainstream Chinese middle-class women conforming to the current gender regime. It illuminates the contradictory effects of neoliberal techniques deployed by a familial authoritarian regime on these women’s striving for success in urban China, and argues that, paradoxically, women’s individualistic determination to succeed has often led them onto the path of conformity by pursuing exemplary norms which fit into the party-state’s agenda.

Molecular Mechanisms of Adult Stem Cell Aging

"There is growing evidence that adult stem cells age. This process can result in alterations in the number and function of stem cells, leading to distinct phenotypic outcomes in different organ systems. This publication provides an outstanding overview of this emerging field. The molecular causes of stem cell aging remain to be defined. Stem cell aging can involve cell-intrinsic as well as cell-extrinsic alterations affecting the stem cell niche or the macroenvironment. Stem cells have a longer life span than other cell populations and retain a capacity to proliferate and differentiate in adult organs. The aging of adult stem cells plays a key role in the decline of organ maintenance and reg...
