Arnolds' silver staining is used to visualize the boundaries of epidermal cells at the surface of embryos. As described in this article, silver staining can be performed on either living or fixed Helbodella (leech) embryos. To preserve the cell junction in fixed embryos, a special fixation procedure is used.

Background: Breast carcinoma stands out as the most widespread invasive cancer and the top contributor to cancer-related mortality in women. Nanoparticles have emerged as promising tools in cancer detection, diagnosis, and prevention. In this study, the antitumor and apoptotic capability of silver nanoparticles synthesized through Scrophularia striata extract (AgNPs-SSE) was investigated toward breast cancer cells.

Assessing parental aesthetic acceptability of Silver Diamine Fluoride (SDF) staining is crucial for its potential implementation in paediatric dentistry in different regions. This study aimed to compare aesthetic perceptions and acceptance of SDF staining between Spanish and Italian parents, and assess weather acceptability is influenced by location, child's cooperation, or demographic background. A cross-sectional comparative study was conducted among Spanish and Italian parents at three university dental clinics, using a validated Italian version of the questionnaire "Parental perceptions of Silver Diamine Fluoride Dental Color Changes".

The hydrogels' morphological properties, in vitro release profiles, antibacterial efficacy, and safety were investigated. Hydrogels were prepared from PCL/Ag, PCL/Lin, and PCL/Ag/Lin formulations and applied to infected wounds.

Background: It has been reported the therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on hearing loss. This study explored the therapeutic effects of growth differentiation factor 6 (GDF6) overexpression-induced MSCs (MSCs-GDF6) on age-related hearing loss (ARHL) and its underlying mechanisms.
Methods: Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting were used to evaluate gene expression.

The accumulation of uric acid in arteriosclerotic plaques has recently attracted attention. Because the interaction between hyperuricemia and atherosclerosis is complex, the details remain obscure. We aimed to elucidate the clinical effect of monosodium urate monohydrate (MSU) deposition on carotid plaques.
