Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how steel slag can be used as a substrate for rooting cuttings, aiming to create a mixed substrate that utilizes solid waste effectively while replacing traditional cutting substrates.
- Various substrates with 10% to 40% steel slag were analyzed for their physical and chemical properties, and their effects on rooting 'Red Beauty' cuttings were compared to conventional substrates (peat and perlite).
- Results indicated that the 20% steel slag substrate (T) yielded superior root growth and development, having the highest performance in several metrics, while also showing better properties such as higher pH and conductivity compared to traditional substrates.
Article Synopsis
- Neuromyelitis Optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) is a serious autoimmune disease affecting the central nervous system, and the best initial treatment options are still uncertain.
- Researchers will conduct a clinical trial involving 430 NMOSD patients to assess the safety and efficacy of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs), looking for the optimal dosage.
- This trial is significant as it aims to provide the first systematic evaluation of hUC-MSCs' clinical safety and effectiveness for NMOSD, potentially identifying the best treatment dose for patients.
