Introduction: The evolving curricula in medical education have significantly reduced the time allocated for learning and clinically correlating anatomical facts. This has led to noticeable gaps in the anatomical knowledge observed by specialists while training junior residents and is being extensively documented in the literature.

Materials And Methods: The descriptive, cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was conducted online by sharing the questionnaire via e-mail, WhatsApp, and Telegram to institutes across all Indian states and union territories where postgraduate radiodiagnosis courses are offered.

Salt stress is a major abiotic stressor that limits plant growth, development, and agricultural productivity, especially in regions with high soil salinity. With the increasing salinization of soils due to climate change, developing salt-tolerant crops has become essential for ensuring food security. This review consolidates recent advances in plant genetics, transcription factors (TFs), and next-generation sequencing (NGS) technologies that are pivotal for enhancing salt stress tolerance in crops.

Integrins, a group of transmembrane receptors, play a crucial role in mediating the interactions between cells and extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins. The intracellular signaling initiated by these cell-matrix interactions in leukocytes mediates many essential cellular processes such as survival, migration, metabolism, and other immunological functions. Macrophages, as phagocytes, participate in both proinflammatory and anti-inflammatory processes, including progression.

A C-terminal fragment of the adhesion protein Fibulin7 (Fbln7-C) binds to monocytes and neutrophils integrin α5β1, regulating their adhesion and immunological functions through Erk and STAT signaling pathways. It also inhibits cell binding, spreading, and migration on fibronectin. However, the precise structural components of Fbln7-C that interact with various domains of integrin α5β1 and contribute to its regulatory effects are not entirely understood.

Article Synopsis
  • * While past research focused mainly on neuronal dysfunction caused by factors like autoimmunity and inflammation, recent studies highlight the importance of pericytes, which support blood vessel health in the brain.
  • * Pericyte dysfunction can cause communication issues with neurons, create scar tissue, and allow harmful substances to enter brain tissue, suggesting new potential therapies for neurodegenerative diseases could emerge from this understanding.

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) drive the protumorigenic responses and facilitate tumor progression via matrix remodeling, angiogenesis, and immunosuppression by interacting with extracellular matrix proteins via integrins. However, the expression dynamics of integrin and its correlation with TAM functional programming in the tumors remain unexplored. In this study, we examined surface integrins' role in TAM recruitment and phenotypic programming in a 4T1-induced murine breast tumor model.

This systematic review was designed to answer the following question: Does chitosan provide better smear layer removal and antimicrobial efficacy than other root canal irrigants? A literature search was done using electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, EBSCO host, Grey Literature Report, and Open Grey from inception to June 18, 2024. The reference lists of included articles were also hand-searched. Two reviewers independently assessed the studies' eligibility based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria and performed data extraction.

Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) is the most commonly preferred synthetic organic chemical in plastics and its products for making them ductile, flexible and durable. As DEHP is not chemically bound to the macromolecular polymer of plastics, it can be easily leached out to accumulate in food and environment. Our recent report advocated that exposure to DEHP significantly transformed the innate bottom-dwelling and scototaxis behaviour of zebrafish.

Haemophilic arthropathy (HA), a common comorbidity in haemophilic patients leads to joint pain, deformity and reduced quality of life. We have recently demonstrated that a long non-coding RNA, Neat1 as a primary regulator of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) 3 and MMP13 activity, and its induction in the target joint has a deteriorating effect on articular cartilage. In the present study, we administered an Adeno-associated virus (AAV) 5 vector carrying an short hairpin (sh)RNA to Neat1 via intra-articular injection alone or in conjunction with systemic administration of a capsid-modified AAV8 (K31Q) vector carrying F8 gene (F8-BDD-V3) to study its impact on HA.
