Since there is no particular therapeutic strategy for TNBC that has been shown to worsen the disease prognosis, 3D models are superior to 2D models as a predictive tool for drug discovery because they more accurately reflect the in vivo biological components of humans.

Article Synopsis
  • Spinal cord transcutaneous stimulation (scTS) is a potential solution to improve blood pressure regulation in individuals with high-level spinal cord injuries, addressing issues like unstable blood pressure.
  • Our study analyzed the effects of scTS applied at various vertebral locations on blood pressure in eight people with chronic cervical spinal cord injury.
  • Results showed that stimulating the lumbosacral area (L1/2, S1/2, T11/12) significantly increased blood pressure, while stimulation in the cervical or upper thoracic regions did not have the same effect, indicating lumbosacral stimulation's potential benefits.

Introduction: Dental crowding can be defined as a disparity in the relationship between the tooth size and arch length, which results in imbrication and rotation of teeth. Crowding of permanent teeth, especially in the anterior part of the mandible, is believed to be the most frequent form of malocclusion in children. The appropriate age for treatment of crowding is the late mixed dentition period.
