Could CH-M6P Be a Potential Dual-Functioning Candidate for Bone Regeneration?

: CI-RM6P has different binding sites with affinities for both M6P and IGF2, plays a role in the regulation of the TGF-β and IGF pathways that is important for controlling cell growth and differentiation. We hypothesize that previously synthesised derivative of M6P could be an alternative candidate for bone tissue regeneration in terms of higher binding affinity, stability in human serum, low cost and temporal delivery. : CH-M6P is synthesised based on previously described protocol; mesenchymal origin of isolated DPSCs was assessed by flow cytometry and AR staining prior to alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity test, qPCR to evaluate differentiation specific marker expression, immunofluoresence, and SEM/EDS to evaluate organic and inorganic matrix formation; and rat aortic ring model to evaluate angiogenic effect of molecule.

Isolated Pancreatic Neck Injury Due to Motorbike Accident.

Isolated pancreatic injuries that result from blunt abdominal trauma are a rare occurrence due to the retroperitoneal location of the pancreas that shields the pancreas from trauma. The nonspecific clinical presentations of patients can delay the diagnosis and complicate the decision in patient care. It is crucial that a high degree of suspicion is maintained for pancreatic injuries in cases like this one.

The Angiogenic Balance and Its Implications in Cancer and Cardiovascular Diseases: An Overview.

Angiogenesis is the process of developing new blood vessels from pre-existing ones. This review summarizes the main features of physiological and pathological angiogenesis and those of angiogenesis activation and inhibition. In healthy adults, angiogenesis is absent apart from its involvement in female reproductive functions and tissue regeneration.

Pathways in the synthesis of functionalized glycolipids for liposomal preparations.

We describe in this paper the synthesis of two glycolipids containing a mannosyl residue functionalized with malonic acid and azide groups at the C6 position. Two synthetic routes have been successfully implemented: the first one involves Schmidt's glycosylation procedure using functionalized carbohydrates, whereas the second one involves nucleophilic substitutions in the C6 position of an iodinated intermediate obtained using Koenigs-Knorr reaction. A comparative discussion of reactions and yields is realized.
