Background And Aim: Despite the sustained progress in the realm of intraoperative neurophysiologic monitoring of the nervous system, little progress has been achieved in monitoring the olfactory pathway. Loss of olfactory function due to retraction-induced physical damage during operations has ill-appreciated negative consequences for the patients and is often underreported. Improvements in this area of neuromonitoring require a revisit of the technical challenges.

The Anthropocene is posing extraordinary challenges for global agriculture. Agri-food production is increasingly impacted by concurrent biotic and abiotic stressors, climate-triggered pests or diseases, (pesticide) resistance breakdown and the unrelenting appearance of invasive biota. Farmers have relied upon simple, addon constitutive crop defenses and synthetic pesticides for decades, but those tools prove ever more defunct.

Background: Early reconstruction of the skull represents the gold standard after resection of bone infiltrating cranial tumors. Customized hydroxyapatite porous ceramics are an excellent option for covering skull bone defects. The authors illustrate the surgical technique and investigate the effectiveness of the "one-step" procedure in terms of aesthetic results and early degree of osteointegration.

Replicating tissue barriers is critical for generating relevant in vitro models for evaluating novel therapeutics. Today, this is commonly done using tissue culture inserts with a plastic membrane, which generates an apical and a basal side. Besides providing support for the cells, these membranes come far from emulating their native counterpart, the basement membrane, which is a nanofibrillar, protein-based matrix.

Cranioplasty using Hydroxyapatite prosthesis is a conceptually simple procedure, but it may harbor several challenges for the surgeons. Several papers in the literature deal with cranioplasty using porous hydroxyapatite. The results are not homogeneous both because of the variability of the patients treated but also because Hydroxyapatite requires a more careful surgical technique to achieve maximum performance.
