Article Synopsis
- MicroRNAs (miRNAs), such as hsa-miR-423-5p, play a significant role in regulating gene expression and are important for various biological processes, especially during pregnancy when maternal health impacts infant development.
- A longitudinal study conducted in southern Brazil examined the relationship between maternal levels of hsa-miR-423-5p in early pregnancy and cognitive development in infants at 90 days old, using blood samples and cognitive assessments.
- Results showed that higher maternal levels of miR-423-5p correlate with better cognitive abilities in infants, suggesting this miRNA could serve as a prenatal biomarker for predicting and potentially improving child neurocognitive development through early interventions.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the T102C polymorphism of the 5HT2A receptor's relation to oral dysplasia in potentially malignant lesions, looking specifically at the effects of smoking and alcohol consumption.
- It involved a case-control design with 110 participants, revealing significant differences in genotype and allele frequencies between dysplastic patients and healthy controls, suggesting a higher risk of dysplasia linked to the T allele.
- The findings indicate that while the T102C polymorphism increases the risk for oral dysplasia, no significant connection was found between smoking and alcohol habits with dysplasia prevalence in this context.
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) plays an important role in the human brain from the embryonic period to adulthood. In this sense, they influence the development of neural stem cells (NSCs), regulating cellular differentiation and survival. Therefore, due to the importance of better comprehending the regulation of miRNAs in NSCs differentiation and the lack of studies that show the panorama of miRNAs and their signaling pathways studied until now we aimed to systematically review the literature to identify which miRNAs are currently being associated with neuronal differentiation and using bioinformatics analysis to identify their related pathways.

MicroRNAs have been studied to better understand the biological mechanisms that regulate this disease. This study review systematically the literature to identify which microRNAs are currently being associated with depression and their related pathways.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the degree of conversion, ultimate tensile strength, cell viability, and oxidative stress of two different ternary initiation systems, using two photoinitiation polymerization times.
Methods: The groups investigated were camphorquinone (CQ); CQ and diphenyleneiodonium hexafluorophosphate (DPI); CQ and ethyl 4-dimethylamine benzoate (EDAB); and CQ, EDAB, and DPI, with EDAB in high and low concentration. To assess the degree of conversion (DC) and the ultimate tensile strength (UTS), a real-time Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and a universal test machine Emic DL-500 were used, respectively.
The objective of this study was to realize a scoping review the literature in order to identify the profile of DPSCs isolation and analyze the possible risk factors that could change the native behavior of these cells. An initial search was conducted using the following MeSH terms: "(dental pulp stem cell [MeSH])"; "(dental pulp [MeSH])" AND "(stem cell [MeSH])"; "("dental pulp stem cell" [MeSH]")". The electronic search was done without date restriction up to and including April 2014, in PubMed, Scopus, Scielo and ISI Web of Knowledge databases.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFScanning electron microscopy (SEM) is commonly used in the analysis of scaffolds morphology, as well as cell attachment, morphology and spreading on to the scaffolds. However, so far a specific methodology to prepare the alginate hydrogel (AH) scaffolds for SEM analysis has not been evaluated. This study compared different methods to fix/dehydrate cells in AH scaffolds for SEM analysis.
