New design, neoplasticism = Nieuwe beelding
Although Piet Mondrian was not an active member of the Bauhaus, his name is often mentioned in connection with the art school. Starting with a philosophical foray in which he describes art as a figurative expression of human existence, Mondrian embeds his concept of a 'New Design' in the various forms of artistic expression. He looks into the question of whether there is a prevailing hierarchy between painting and architecture and dares to take a far-reaching look at the future of neoplasticism. Harry Holtzman's renowned translations of Mondrian's five essays on 'New Design' appear in this volume in a complete compilation for the first time. The publication is true to the content and design of the German first edition of 1925.

Selective damage induced by pigment-medium interactions in a Neoplasticist oil canvas painting: Composition dans le cône avec couleur orange by G. Vantongerloo (1929)
This research focuses on the study of pigment-medium interactions in the film forming, ageing and degradation mechanisms of modern white oil paints observed in the Neoplasticist painting Composition dans le cône avec couleur orange by G. Vantongerloo (1929), conserved in the Institut Valencià d’Art Modern (IVAM). The observation of selective vertical cracks and the significant presence of protrusions in the painting suggested that the observed degradation phenomena were specific to the coloured area. To understand the composition of pigments governing the film formation processes and later degradation phenomena in the oil paint films, a hybrid experimental approach was taken, aimed at understanding the physical, chemical and mechanical mechanisms involved. For this purpose, digital portable microscopy and multiband imaging analyses were carried out. Furthermore, the technical study involved the use of micro-invasive analysis such as μ-Raman, ATR-FTIR spectroscopy and GC–MS analysis for a more comprehensive understanding of the nature of the binding media and products resulting from the auto-oxidation, film-forming, hydrolysis, and degradation processes of the lipidic binding media. The results obtained suggest that on-going degradation phenomena are closely linked to the chemical interaction between pigment and binding medium.

Artificial Intelligence in Neoplasticism: Aesthetic Evaluation and Creative Potential
This research investigates the aesthetic evaluation of AI-generated neoplasticist artworks, exploring how well artificial intelligence systems, specifically Midjourney, replicate the core principles of neoplasticism, such as geometric forms, balance, and color harmony. The background of this study stems from ongoing debates about the legitimacy of AI-generated art and how these systems engage with established artistic movements. The purpose of the research is to assess whether AI can produce artworks that meet aesthetic standards comparable to human-created works. The research utilized Monroe C. Beardsley’s aesthetic emotion criteria and Noël Carroll’s aesthetic experience criteria as a framework for evaluating the artworks. A logistic regression analysis was conducted to identify key compositional elements in AI-generated neoplasticist works. The findings revealed that AI systems excelled in areas such as unity, color diversity, and overall artistic appeal but showed limitations in handling monochromatic elements. The implications of this research suggest that while AI can produce high-quality art, further refinement is needed for more subtle aspects of design. This study contributes to understanding the potential of AI as a tool in the creative process, offering insights for both artists and AI developers.

The influence of Theosophy on Mondrian's neoplastic work
The influence of Theosophy in the symbolist painting of Mondrian (1908-1911) has been unanimously recognized. There is not, however, the same consensus with respect to the influence of theosophy in his neoplastic period. There is a relationship between Mondrian's theoretical writing and his practical work, but no proportionality. Mondrian's theoretical discourse is not limited to painting and touches on other arts and disciplines (architecture, urbanism). Mondrian will define a complex - philosophical? - system whose final goal will be to completely transform the human visual environment. That is to say that the area covered by his theoretical discourse widely exceeds that of his practical activity (painting). The goal of this article is to try to delimit the scope of Theosophy's influence on Mondrian's work during his neoplastic period, in his theoretical writing and in his practical production.

Principles of stem cell biology and cancer
Principles of Stem Cell Biology and Cancer: Future Applications and Therapeutics Tarik Regad, The John van Geest Cancer Research Centre, Nottingham Trent University, UK, Thomas J. Sayers, Centre for Cancer Research, National Cancer Institute, Frederick, USA and Robert Rees The John van Geest Cancer Research Centre, Nottingham Trent University, UK The field of cancer stem cells is expanding rapidly, with many groups focusing on isolating and identifying cancer stem cell populations. Although some progress has been made developing efficient cancer therapies, targeting cancer stem cells remains one of the important challenges facing the growing stem cell research community. Principles of Stem Cell Biology and Cancer brings together original contributions from international experts in the field to present the very latest information linking stem cell biology and cancer. Divided into two parts, the book begins with a detailed introduction to stem cell biology with a focus on the characterization of these cells, progress that has been made in their identification, as well as future therapeutic applications of stem cells. The second part focuses on cancer stem cells and their role in cancer development, progression and chemo-resistance. This section of the book includes an overview of recent progress concerning therapies targeting cancer stem cells. Features: An authoritative introduction to the link between stem cell biology and cancer. Includes contributions from leading international experts in the field. Well-illustrated with full colour figures throughout. This book will prove an invaluable resource for basic and applied researchers and clinicians working on the development of new cancer treatments and therapies, providing a timely publication of high quality reviews outlining the current progress and exciting future possibilities for stem cell research.

Anatomía arquitectónica en la obra de Eileen Gray. Un análisis comparado para identificar la mano tras el diseño de la E.1027
a escasa producción arquitectónica de Eileen Gray y su aprendizaje autodidacta, ajeno al ámbito académico, han contribuido a cuestionar su protagonismo en el proyecto de la vivienda E.1027, realizado junto a Jean Badovici, arquitecto y director de la revista L’Architecture Vivante. Esta investigación compara su lenguaje arquitectónico con el de otros de sus proyectos desarrollados en solitario. Se abordan paralelismos e influencias de su obra con aquella modernidad temprana que ella reinterpretaba siempre con una mirada crítica. Dichas comparaciones permiten identificar las cualidades más relevantes de su arquitectura, además de demostrar su protagonismo en el diseño de la E.1027 y relegar a Badovici al papel de consultor técnico, mentor y asesor crítico. La compleja densidad espacial y las relaciones entre lugar, arquitectura y equipamiento se muestran como huellas objetivas para confirmar esta hipótesis y valorar la importancia de su talento como pionera de la modernidad.

La ciudad Ideal de Mondrian y el Pabellon de Barcelona de Mies van der Rohe. Estudio comparado
Este artículo se propone determinar si la ciudad ideal descrita por Piet Mondrian en sus escritos, se ha materializado en alguna ocasión. La metodología de investigación consiste, en primer lugar, en deducir las características de la ciudad ideal de Mondrian a partir de sus escritos teóricos, en segundo lugar, en verificar si los paralelismos que se han señalado hasta la fecha en la literatura existente cumplen las citadas características y, en tercer lugar, en verificar si el Pabellón de Barcelona de Mies van der Rohe las cumple. Los resultados sugieren que el Pabellón de Barcelona es una representación--pequeño modelo o maqueta--de la ciudad ideal neoplástica descrita por Mondrian en sus escritos. En muchas ocasiones se ha sugerido el paralelismo entre la arquitectura de Mies y el neoplasticismo, pero nunca, hasta ahora, entre la ciudad ideal de Mondrian y el Pabellón de Barcelona.
