Article Synopsis
  • The Comet Interceptor mission aims to explore a long-period comet or an interstellar object entering our Solar System, with a focus on its surface composition, shape, and the composition of its gas and dust.
  • Proposed to the European Space Agency in 2018 and approved in June 2022, it is set to launch in 2029 alongside the Ariel mission, utilizing a low-cost approach that allows it to wait for a suitable target comet.
  • The mission will feature a main probe and two sub-probes (B1 from JAXA and B2), providing simultaneous, detailed 3D information about the comet and its interaction with the solar wind, making it unique compared to previous missions.

This study aims to describe the utilization of Denosumabࣨ, a human monoclonal antibody against the RANK-L receptor, in a mandibular giant cell granuloma (GCG) with a significant local aggressiveness component that was unresponsive to surgical treatment. We present a case of a 19-year-old male patient diagnosed with Noonan syndrome, who presented a multifocal giant cell granuloma with aggressive behaviour resistant to surgical treatment. Due to the functional and aesthetic implications associated with a surgical procedure, a decision was made to initiate medical treatment using Denosumabࣨ.
