Better implants with stem cells
Prosthetic implants are used day-to-day to treat edentulous people and patients in need of skeletal reconstructions. The history of prosthetic dental implants dates back thousands of years, with the early civilizations using seashells and stones to replace
Oriented attachment determines a shape of nanoparticles in gas phase
Until two decades ago, the process of crystallization from a supersaturated solution was assumed to proceed exclusively by molecule-by-molecule addition. However, some recent pioneering theoretical and experimental studies have revealed that crystals can grow by some other,
Acute ischemic stroke: An urgent call for help and funding!
In humans, acute ischemic stroke is the primarily result of a blood-clot that moves toward the brain and blocks one or more important blood vessels that supply blood, oxygen, and nutrients to brain tissue (Fig. 1), causing
Genital gender-affirming surgery: a history from the shadows to the forefront
Gender dysphoria is characterized by a discrepancy between an individual’s gender at birth and the gender with which they identify themselves. Gender-affirming surgery encompasses a variety of procedures that aim to alleviate gender dysphoria. These are broadly
Open storage of sub-soil river water leads to significant change in water quality
Reservoirs and dams are created for catering to the need of agriculture, industries, domestic etc as a continuous reliable source of water. Among other uses, power plant (PP) cooling water system (CWS) needs reliable and continuous supply
How the mitochondrial F1FO-ATPase can be chemically switched on/off and serve as drug target
The mitochondrial F1FO-ATPase is well known to play the main role in synthesizing most of ATP, thus providing energy to living cells under aerobic conditions. However the enzyme complex can also work in reverse and split ATP
Early sepsis does not stimulate reactive oxygen species production and does not reduce cardiac function despite an increased inflammation status
Sepsis is due to bacterial infection. If it is sustained for several days, it can trigger severe abnormalities of cardiac function which leads to death in 50% of cases. This probably occurs through activation of toll-like receptors
Varity of phase separation patterns induced by a propagating trigger
A pattern is formed when a phase separation in two component mixtures occurs. A bicontinuous network pattern is formed when the concentration of the two phases are symmetry to the phase separation line. Meanwhile, when there is
Can castol oil safely induce labor at home in postdate women?
Pregnancy that extends beyond 40 weeks gestation is termed a post-date pregnancy. There are many maternal and neonatal complications that arise from post-date pregnancies, such as cesarean section, fetal distress, or even intrauterine fetal demise. There are
Less may be more in catheter ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent heart rhythm disorder worldwide; at present, it affects more than 33 million subjects globally and it is expected that its prevalence will double over the next 50 years. The condition
World Congress on Waste Management and Recycling. Valencia, Spain. December 03-04, 2018

WCWMR-2018 will also provide the excellent opportunity to meet
Astroglial magnetic fields and cortical neuronal coupling
In recent years, it has been demonstrated an increasing role of astrocytes in information processing and cognitive functions, which depends on the close relationship between neurons and astrocytes into the cerebral cortex. The mammalian cerebral cortex is
Pubic hair grooming and public health. A key role for the doctor in counselling his patients?
We think there’s a role of counselling for health practitioners related to the practice of hair grooming. Despite the lack of controlled studies, it could be dangerous to deny the possibility of infectious risks related with this
Biotyping P. acnes: first step for a proper clinical treatment
Propionibacterium acnes is an anaerobic Gram-positive bacteria member of the usual skin microbiota. This bacterium is able to growth in the sebaceous gland and in the hair follicles where the sebum provide anaerobic environment and nutrients. In
UFACS3: A fast and reliable method for the isolation of three non-parenchymal liver cell types from one mouse
Liver fibrosis is a chronic liver disease due to a viral infection or to repeated exposures to alcohol, drugs or unhealthy food. Upon liver damage, a cascade of cellular interactions is initiated to collectively try to restore
Better, faster, wider – polymer stabilized ferroelectric liquid crystal displays and beyond
One may rightly think that the development of liquid crystal displays (LCD) has led to a revolution of the market for screens, displays and TVs, and one may wonder if present day displays can still be improved,
D-amino acid profile would be varied depending on the storage time of fermented food
Although the natural amino acids are dominated by l-amino acids, various fermented foods are known to contain many d-amino acids. The enantiospecific modulation of amino acids might be caused by fermentation bacterial metabolism during manufacturing and storage
Creating artificial enzymes from small building blocks
Artificial enzymes were first described several decades ago and have become an ambition for bionanomaterial sciences. Artificial enzymes are small fabricated molecules that possess an active centre, which binds to a substrate and catalyses a chemical reaction.
Survival determinism: a common perspective to disease, development and evolution
Survival determinism is a concept referring to a broad set of genetic mechanisms for self-survival proposed to be innate to every living entity. I have argued that such mechanisms would be present since the dawn of evolution,
How engineered nanoparticles are affecting the treatment of wastewater
In recent years, engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) have been incorporated into a variety of consumer products such as technology, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and clothing to name but a few. ENPs can be defined as intentionally created particles sized 1-100
