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
  • The study explores the production of 1,3-propanediol using a technique that combines glycerol hydrogenolysis and aqueous phase reforming, focusing on the impact of tungsten (W) doping on Ni/CeO catalysts to improve efficiency and cost.
  • Results show that a 3% W doping in the catalyst significantly enhances yield (2.4%), selectivity (33.3%), and conversion rate (72.18%) under specific conditions, while higher pressure and temperature negatively impact the outcome due to over-hydrogenolysis.
  • Optimal glycerol concentration (20 wt.%) and a reaction time of 4 hours yield the highest 1,3-propanediol at 38.29%, but

Background: Medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ) is a severe complication associated with prolonged bisphosphonate therapy. Increasing evidence shows that mucosal damage plays an important role in the pathogenesis of MRONJ. This study investigates the combinatorial effects of hydroxyapatite with Tualang honey on cell viability and wound healing in MRONJ.
