In this work, we are comparing biomimetic niosomal nanoparticles (BNNs) with biomimetic liposomal nanoparticles (BLNs) and studying their drug carrier properties. A-BNNs and A-BLNs are prepared by lipid hydration method and characterized using DLS for size and zeta potential analysis, surface morphology by SEM, structural details by TEM, crystallinity and phase change by XRD, thermodynamic properties by DSC, TGA and DTGA, drug carrier properties by entrapment efficiency, drug release studies by open-end tube method and its mechanistic assessment by fitting with various models such as zero order, first order, Higuchi and Korsmeyer-Peppas models. The A-BNNs had an average size of 157.

Developmental signaling inputs are fundamental for shaping cell fates and behavior. However, traditional fluorescent-based signaling reporters have limitations in scalability and molecular resolution of cell types. We present SABER-seq, a CRISPR-Cas molecular recorder that stores transient developmental signaling cues as permanent mutations in cellular genomes for deconstruction at later stages via single-cell transcriptomics.

Article Synopsis
  • This systematic review assesses the effectiveness of direct and indirect immunofluorescence in diagnosing oral lesions, comparing their performance to conventional diagnostic methods.
  • The review analyzed data from 37 studies published between January 15, 2024, and May 15, 2024, finding that direct immunofluorescence (DIF) generally showed higher sensitivity and specificity than indirect immunofluorescence.
  • The findings indicate that DIF is a more reliable diagnostic tool for conditions like pemphigus vulgaris and mucous membrane pemphigoid, suggesting that its use, possibly alongside indirect immunofluorescence, can improve the evaluation of oral health issues.

This research reports a continuous output ionic thermoelectric (i-TE) system based on MXene/PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) hydrogel, by utilizing thermo-diffusion of Cu and Cl ions and the redox reaction involving Cu/Cu at the electrode interfaces. The thermopower of the i-TE system can be independently tuned to a value of -3.13 mVK by adjusting the ion diffusivity via MXene (TiCT).

Aim: This systematic review was undertaken to compare the quality of autogenous bone graft harvested from two different mandibular donor sites, that is, from the chin region and from posterior mandibular region for maxillary alveolar ridge augmentation and success after implant placement.

Materials And Methods: Systematic searches were performed using PubMed, MEDLINE, and Cochrane electronic databases, which reported on the quality of autogenous harvested bone graft of the recipient site in maxillary alveolar ridge augmentation from a period of January 1995 to December 2020 using PRISMA guidelines. Studies were included if: They reported on bone grafts harvested from the chin and body region of the mandible.
