Objective: To determine whether the bioactive sphingolipid sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) modulates cellular proliferation and synthesis of fibrotic proteins in leiomyoma differently than myometrial cells.
Design: A basic science study using human leiomyoma and myometrial cells.
Patient(s): Not applicable.
Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on creating a new fixed bed bioreactor designed for scalable adherent cell culture, which is vital for advancing cell and gene therapies.
- The bioreactor features stacked mesh discs for efficient fluid flow and minimal stress on cells, showing excellent uniformity in media distribution during cell growth.
- The platform is highly effective for automated cell harvesting and maintains a high cell viability rate while allowing for predictable modeling of cell growth, making it a promising tool for large-scale biomanufacturing.
The U.S. Gulf of Mexico contains a complex network of existing, decommissioned, and abandoned oil and gas pipelines, which are susceptible to a number of stressors in the natural-engineered offshore system including corrosion, environmental hazards, and human error.

We present a case-series of a novel approach that was safe and reproducible in a cohort of 17 patients.
Patients And Methods: All patients in the study underwent the novel procedure between October 2022 and July 2023.
Article Synopsis
- The use of AI in Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSS) can really change healthcare and help doctors make better decisions, especially in emergencies.
- However, creating these AI systems comes with challenges, like making sure they are fair and don’t have biases.
- To make sure AI is used ethically and effectively, hospitals need to set up special departments that focus on combining human judgment with smart algorithms.
