Stem cell transplantation into seminiferous tubules of recipient testis could become a tool for fertility restoration, genetic improvement, or conservation of endangered species. Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) are primary candidates for transplantation; however, limited abundance, complexity for isolation and culture, and lack of specific markers have limited their use. Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent progenitors that are simple to isolate and culture and possess specific markers for identification, and immune evasive and migratory capacities.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers developed new cymantrenyl- and ferrocenyl-sulfonamide compounds as potential inhibitors for human carbonic anhydrases (hCAs) using aminobenzene sulfonamides and sulfonyl chlorides.
  • These compounds were characterized through various techniques, including spectroscopic methods and single-crystal X-ray diffraction to determine their structures.
  • Biological tests showed that compounds 1b and 2b effectively inhibited hCA II and IX isoforms, outperforming a standard drug, and docking studies indicated similar binding characteristics to established inhibitors.

A series of new ferrocenyl nitroheterocyclic sulfonylhydrazones (1a-4a and 1b-2b) were prepared by the reaction between formyl (R = H) or acetyl (R = CH) nitroheterocyclic precursors [4/5-NO(CHXCOR), where X = O, S)] and ferrocenyl tosyl hydrazine [(η-CH)Fe(η-CHSO-NH-NH)]. All compounds were characterized by conventional spectroscopic techniques. In the solid state, the molecular structures of compounds 1a, 2b, and 3a were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.

This paper reflects on the right to health care from the Indigenous research paradigm. We analyze the case of an Aymara wise (woman) who died after the Chilean health care system failed to provide culturally appropriate care. In the wake of her death, our cooperative launched an interdisciplinary and collaborative research project in an effort to file an administrative complaint against the family health center that treated her.

Filling defects identified in the pulmonary arterial tree are commonly presumed to represent an embolic phenomenon originating from thrombi formed in remote veins, particularly lower-extremity deep venous thrombosis (DVT). However, accumulating evidence supports an underappreciated cause for pulmonary arterial thrombosis (PAT), namely, de novo thrombogenesis-whereby thrombosis arises within the pulmonary arteries in the absence of DVT. Although historically underrecognized, in situ PAT has become of heightened importance with the emergence of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
