Article Synopsis
- The isolation and culture of neonatal murine cardiac cells allow researchers to study their properties and reactions to different treatments.
- The protocol outlines the steps necessary to extract and prepare these cardiac cells, ensuring a high yield of viable, beating cardiomyocytes.
- Detailed procedures for both mechanical and enzymatic digestion are provided, which are conducted in a controlled cell culture incubator environment.
Article Synopsis
- The rice-blast fungus is a big problem for rice farming all over the world.
- Scientists found that a type of cell death called ferroptosis plays a role in how the fungus interacts with plants.
- They discovered that certain compounds can stop the fungus from forming structures needed to infect rice, and adding iron can help restore this process.
: Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) represent a prevalent multifactorial condition that impacts a significant portion of the global population. The objective of this study was to employ Fonseca's questionnaire for an initial assessment of TMDs. A cross-sectional study was conducted on a sample of 250 undergraduates from the Dental School of the University of Perugia, Italy.

Different photocurable formulations were prepared by varying the reactive diluents, iso-bornyl methacrylate (IBOMA) and tetrahydrofurfuryl acrylate (THFA). Then, two fillers derived from different industrial wastes, corn (GTF) and wine (WPL-CF) by-products, were added to the AESO-based formulations to develop polymer composites with improved properties.

This study investigated whether the declining expression of growth factors during postnatal mammalian development contributes to the decrease of cardiomyocyte regenerative potential. Besides confirming the proliferative ability of neuregulin 1 (NRG1), interleukin (IL)1b, receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL), insulin growth factor (IGF)2, and IL6, we identified other potential pro-regenerative factors, with BMP7 exhibiting the most pronounced efficacy.
