Efficiently extracting data from tables in the scientific literature is pivotal for building large-scale databases. However, the tables reported in materials science papers exist in highly diverse forms; thus, rule-based extractions are an ineffective approach. To overcome this challenge, the study presents MaTableGPT, which is a GPT-based table data extractor from the materials science literature.

Single cell sequencing technologies have revolutionized our understanding of biology by mapping cell diversity and gene expression in healthy and diseased tissues. While single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) has been widely used, interest in single-nucleus RNA sequencing (snRNA-seq) is growing due to its benefits, including the ability to analyze archival tissues and capture rare cell types that are challenging to dissociate. However, comparative studies across tissues have yielded mixed results, with some reporting enhanced cell type retention using snRNA-seq while others finding cell type identification to be challenging in snRNA-seq data.

 The purpose of this review is to characterize themes among the five reconstructive microsurgery articles achieving the highest Relative Citation Ratios (RCRs) published in the past 20 years in the top journals. In doing so, researchers may be better informed on how to propose salient research questions to impact the field and understand future directions in plastic surgery.  A cross-sectional study was conducted with articles published in the top three journals based on the Impact Factor: Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery, and Annals of Plastic Surgery.

Articular cartilage has a limited self-healing capacity, leading to joint degeneration and osteoarthritis over time. Therefore, bioactive scaffolds are gaining attention as a promising approach to regenerating and repairing damaged articular cartilage through tissue engineering. In this study, we reported on a novel 3D bio-printed proteinaceous bioactive scaffolds combined with natural porcine cancellous bone dECM, tempo-oxidized cellulose nanofiber (TOCN), and alginate carriers for TGF-β1, FGF-18, and ADSCs to repair cartilage defects.

Apoptosis serves as the initial phase in the conversion of muscle to meat, driving key biochemical and morphological changes in the postmortem muscle. To effectively improve and control meat quality across different animal species, it is important to gather more information on the mechanisms by which apoptotic potential, mediated through the interaction of apoptosis-related molecules, influences meat quality variations. The apoptotic potential, determined by the balance between apoptotic and anti-apoptotic molecules, such as Ca, cytochrome , caspases, and heat shock proteins, varies among different species.
