Graded porous scaffold mediates internal fluidic environment for 3D in vitro mechanobiology.

Most cell types are mechanosensitive, their activities such as differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis, can be influenced by the mechanical environment through mechanical stimulation. In three dimensional (3D) mechanobiological in vitro studies, the porous structure of scaffold controls the local mechanical environment that applied to cells. Many previous studies have focused on the topological design of homogeneous scaffold struts.

Green technologies applied to extraction processes and analysis of polyphenolic compounds from Inga laurina Willd.

This study aimed to identify an efficient and sustainable extraction method for phenolic compounds and flavonoids from I. laurina using maceration (conventional), ultrasonic bath and probes, cup horn sonication, and microwave. It evaluated extraction parameters and assessed total phenolic compounds, flavonoids, antioxidant, and antimicrobial capacities, with annotated compounds via ESI-ToF-MS and the green analytical procedure index analysis.

Phase 1b/2a safety study of lemborexant as an adjunctive treatment for insomnia to buprenorphine-naloxone for opioid use disorder: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: Evidence supports the common incidence of sleep disturbance in opioid use disorder (OUD) as a potential marker of disrupted orexin system functioning. This study evaluated the initial safety and tolerability of a challenge dose of lemborexant, a dual orexin antagonist, as an adjunct to buprenorphine/naloxone.

Methods: Patients (18-65 years old) with OUD receiving sublingual buprenorphine/naloxone, with a Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index total score of 6 or higher, were recruited from outpatient clinics.

Randomized Clinical Evaluation of the Healing Activity of Green Propolis Ointment in Individuals with Lower Limb Ulcers Resulting from Leprosy: Preliminary Results of a Pilot Study.

Treating chronic wounds incurs substantial costs for Brazil's Unified Health System. Natural compounds, particularly propolis, are increasingly explored as low-cost alternatives due to their healing properties. Brazilian green propolis, distinct in its chemical composition, has garnered scientific interest.

Navigating Hemorrhagic Shock: Biomarkers, Therapies, and Challenges in Clinical Care.

Hemorrhagic shock remains a leading cause of preventable death worldwide, with mortality patterns varying significantly based on injury mechanisms and severity. This comprehensive review examines the complex pathophysiology of hemorrhagic shock, focusing on the temporal evolution of inflammatory responses, biomarker utility, and evidence-based therapeutic interventions. The inflammatory cascade progresses through distinct phases, beginning with tissue injury and endothelial activation, followed by a systemic inflammatory response that can transition to devastating immunosuppression.
