9-Azahomocubane.

Homocubane, a highly strained cage hydrocarbon, contains two very different positions for the introduction of a nitrogen atom into the skeleton, e. g., a position 1 exchange results in a tertiary amine whereas position 9 yields a secondary amine.

Endothelial plasticity across PTEN and Hippo pathways: A complex hormetic rheostat modulated by extracellular vesicles.

Vascularization is a multifactorial and spatiotemporally regulated process, essential for cell and tissue survival. Vascular alterations have repercussions on the development and progression of diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and diabetes, which are the leading causes of death worldwide. Additionally, vascularization continues to be a challenge for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine.

Gender and access to professorships in academic medical settings in France.

Context: Previous studies, mainly originating from North America, suggest that women are less likely than men to obtain professorships in academic medical settings. However, research providing a comprehensive picture of such gender disparities in other national contexts and addressing associated contextual factors is lacking.

Objectives: Our objectives were to assess gender differences in access to professorships in academic medical settings in France, to determine their evolution across regions and medical specialties and over time, and to identify the factors associated with the likelihood of a professor being a woman.

Does information about patients who are intellectually disabled translate into better cooperation during dental visits?

The objective of this study was to investigate whether having background information about a patient with an intellectual disability (ID) would have a positive effect on the level of cooperation during a first dental visit. Study participants were 57 consecutive dental patients (mean age = 24.3 years, range: 4 to 69) with ID, who received a first oral examination at a center for special dental care.
