Holopodidae is one of the three families in the order Cyrtocrinida that have extant representatives. Two genera have been described, Holopus and Cyathidium, both with extant species and fossil representatives dating back to the Cenomanian (Late Cretaceous). Eocene (Lutetian) holopodid material from the Chiampo Valley (north-eastern Italy) has recently been attributed to H.

- The study investigates the binding of a fluorescent analog of flortaucipir (T726) to different tau proteins in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD).
- T726 showed significant co-localization with PHF tau in AD but had limited interaction with 3R and 4R tau lesions in FTLD.
- Findings suggest that while T726 binds to some FTLD tau lesions, it doesn't bind to all, indicating the need for further research to understand the varying binding patterns.
Dental decay is a prevalent bacterial disease affecting a significant percentage of children globally. In paediatric dentistry, various materials are available for restoring deciduous teeth, addressing both functional and aesthetic concerns. However, paediatric dentists encounter challenges related to patient compliance, limited working time, and material handling.

Neurodegeneration in PAOS targets the premotor cortex, particularly the supplementary motor area (SMA), with degeneration of white matter (WM) tracts connecting premotor and motor cortices and Broca's area observed on diffusion tensor imaging (DTI). We aimed to assess flortaucipir uptake across speech-language-related WM tracts identified using DTI tractography in PAOS.
