Article Synopsis
- Restoring nerve injury in humans is challenging, especially in the central nervous system (CNS), where factors like glial scars hinder regeneration compared to the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which relies on Schwann cells for support.
- Unlike humans, some species like axolotls and planarians can regenerate their nervous systems thanks to abundant pluripotent stem cells that can differentiate into various cell types.
- Understanding the molecular pathways of these regenerating species may provide insights and new strategies for improving nerve regeneration therapies in humans.
Article Synopsis
- - Candida species are common on human skin and can cause skin infections, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems, such as those with diabetes, which increases susceptibility to these infections.
- - The review highlights various types of candidiasis related to diabetes, including oral, vaginal, and skin infections, and emphasizes the need for effective preventative measures and treatments.
- - It calls for more research and collaboration to better understand and manage the relationship between diabetes and candidiasis, aiming to develop improved antifungal treatments.
Background: The high occurrence of metabolic syndrome has driven a growing demand for natural resource-based therapeutic strategies, highlighting their potential efficacy in addressing the complexities of this condition. Probiotics are established to be useful in the prevention and treatment of diabetes and obesity. However, limited exploration exists regarding the application of the isolated strain from stingless bee honey as a probiotic within dairy products, such as cheese.

As native key pollinators in Malaysia, Apis dorsata and Heterotrigona itama forage on various plant/pollen species to collect honey. This study aims to generate a dataset that uncovers the presence of these plant/pollen species and their relative abundance in the honey of A.

Addressing this urgent issue necessitates the implementation of coordinated waste management policies and strategies. In this study, we present a comprehensive review focusing on key results and the underlying mechanisms associated with microplastics.
