Children are particularly vulnerable to fatalities from fire incidents, and the crucial role of dentition in the identification processes is well known. Despite this, research on burned deciduous teeth is lacking, often assuming similarities with burned permanent teeth, disregarding their morphological and chemical distinctions. This goal of this study was to investigate the effect of burning on deciduous teeth, focusing on post-burning tooth color assessment.

Article Synopsis
  • Identifying Paleolithic communal rituals helps understand group identity and cohesion.
  • Evidence shows that collective rituals took place in Manot Cave during the Early Upper Paleolithic, centered around an engraved boulder resembling a tortoise.
  • Analyses of artifacts and cave acoustics indicate fire was used for illumination, and the site was ideal for gatherings, stressing its role in social networking among EUP communities.

Myocardial injury may ultimately lead to adverse ventricular remodeling and development of heart failure (HF), which is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Given the slow pace and substantial costs of developing new therapeutics, drug repurposing is an attractive alternative. Studies of many organs, including the heart, highlight the importance of the immune system in modulating injury and repair outcomes.

Senescence plays a key role in various physiological and pathological processes. We reported that injury-induced transient senescence correlates with heart regeneration, yet the multi-omics profile and molecular underpinnings of regenerative senescence remain obscure. Using proteomics and single-cell RNA sequencing, here we report the regenerative senescence multi-omic signature in the adult mouse heart and establish its role in neonatal heart regeneration and agrin-mediated cardiac repair in adult mice.

Objectives: The current study aims to explore the stress distribution along the roots of palatally positioned maxillary canines during orthodontic movement using a novel computational spring model.

Methods: An experimental analysis based on the spring-model was utilized to calculate Orthodontic Tooth Movement (OTM) and the resulting stresses. Two sets of experiments were conducted: the first set compared stresses on a canine resulting from a single force and a force-couple, while the second set simulated canines' traction during instantaneous movement with varying original tooth angulations using different off-the-shelf orthodontic coils.
