Article Synopsis
- Amniotic fluid contains stem cells (AF-SCs) that have potential uses in regenerative medicine for treating various injuries and diseases.
- When exposed to basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF), AF-SCs show the ability to survive and migrate in a rat brain model, resembling characteristics of neuronal/glial progenitor cells.
- The study employs electrophysiological techniques to identify specific potassium currents in AF-SCs and confirms that histamine can influence calcium dynamics and potassium current activation in these cells.

Introduction: Bisphenol A (BPA) is a common contaminant widely used in many industrial sectors. Because of its wide use and dispersion, it can be accumulated in living human bodies through both oral assumption and nondietary routes. BPA exhibits hormone-like properties, falling under the class of endocrine disruptors; therefore, it can alter relevant physiological functions.

It comprises 25 recognized species, mainly parasitizing cricetids, and shows significant diversification linked to the evolution of its hosts. Stilestrongylus magnumspiculum n.

The study aimed to evaluate the virological and clinical impact of the vaccination in SARS-CoV-2 infected patients treated with monoclonal antibodies (mAbs).
Methods: This single-centre, observational, retrospective, real-life study was performed on SARS-CoV-2 symptomatic outpatients and inpatients treated with mAbs from March 2021 to November 2022 includes 726 patients.
Article Synopsis
- - AEMWE, a method for producing hydrogen, merges benefits from both proton and alkaline water electrolysis, focusing on creating better membranes that conduct hydroxide ions and resist gas permeation while being durable.
- - Researchers developed reinforced anion exchange membranes (AEMs) using poly[2,2'-(p-oxydiphenylene)-5,5'-benzimidazole] (PBIO) fibers, enhancing membrane properties through strong interactions and expansion of the fibers within the membrane.
- - The PBIO-reinforced membranes resulted in reduced hydrogen crossover and improved tensile strength, maintaining hydroxide conductivity, and performed effectively in a single AEMWE cell setup over a 260-hour test, achieving 2.06 V
