Injuries associated with contemporary life, such as automobile crashes and sports injuries, can lead to large numbers of traumatic neuromuscular injuries that are intimately associated with bone fractures. Regulatory and non-coding RNAs play essential roles in multiple cellular processes, including osteogenic differentiation and bone healing. In this review, we discuss the most recent advances in our understanding of the regulatory and non-coding RNA biology of osteogenic differentiation in stem, stromal and progenitor cells.

Background: Public toilets enable populations, including those who menstruate, to move through public spaces. Menstrual Friendly Public Toilets (MFPT) are accessible, safe, and clean public toilets that provide those who menstruate the space and resources to navigate cities with dignity and comfort. However, there is little evidence on the status of MFPTs in urban centers.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers developed and studied five new iridium(III) complexes with thienyl groups to improve their performance in photodynamic therapy for cancer.
  • They found that the number of thienyl units affected the complexes' light absorption and emission properties, shifting them to longer wavelengths, which is beneficial for therapy.
  • In tests against melanoma and breast cancer cell lines, one complex showed significant photocytotoxicity when activated by visible light, remaining effective even under low-oxygen (hypoxic) conditions.

Immunotherapy leads to cancer eradication despite the tumor's immunosuppressive environment. Here, we used extended long-term in-vivo imaging and high-resolution spatial transcriptomics of endogenous melanoma in zebrafish, and multiplex imaging of human melanoma, to identify domains that facilitate immune response during immunotherapy. We identified crater-shaped pockets at the margins of zebrafish and human melanoma, rich with beta-2 microglobulin (B2M) and antigen recognition molecules.
