On the occasion of the flight of Zond 7 four turtles were included in the payload. A detailed histological analysis was carried out upon recovery of the subjects. No gross changes were observed, but the nuclei in the cells of many tissues decreased in volume by a statistically significant amount. This decrease is assumed to correspond to certain changes in function which adapted the animal to space flight conditions. No pathological changes were observed.

Background/objectives: Cartilage injuries and osteoarthritis are prevalent public health problems, due to their disabling nature and economic impact. Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) isolated from different tissues have the immunomodulatory capacity to regulate local joint environment. This translational study aims to compare cartilage restoration from MSCs from the synovial membrane (SM) and dental pulp (DP) by a tissue-engineered construct with Good Manufacturing Practices.

Soil compaction poses a significant challenge in modern agriculture, as it constrains root development and hinders crop growth. The increasing evidence indicated that various phytohormones collaborate in distinct root zones to regulate root growth in compacted soils. However, the study of root development in maize under such conditions has been relatively limited.

Background: Bunge (CM) shows promising potential for managing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and digestive disorders, attributed to its rich content of bioactive compounds such as polyphenols and flavonoids. Despite its common use in herbal tea, the specific mechanisms underlying CM's anti-inflammatory and joint-protective effects remain unclear, limiting its development as a functional food. This study investigated the effects of aqueous CM extract on RA in collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rats and explored the underlying mechanisms.

: Vitamin C is a well-known antioxidant with antiviral, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory properties. However, its therapeutic applications are limited by rapid oxidation due to heat and light sensitivity. Aptamin C, which employs aptamers to bind vitamin C, has demonstrated enhanced stability and efficacy.
