Vitamin D deficiency is common in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and associates with poor outcomes. Current clinical practice guidelines recommend supplementation with nutritional vitamin D as for the general population. However, recent large-scale, clinical trials in the general population failed to demonstrate a benefit of vitamin D supplementation on skeletal or non-skeletal outcomes, fueling a debate on the rationale for screening for and correcting vitamin D deficiency, both in non-CKD and CKD populations.

Background: Tissue engineering for bone regeneration aims to heal severe bone injuries. This study aimed to prepare and assess the early osteogenic differentiation effects of a gelatin/calcium phosphate- Punica granatum nanocomposite scaffold on stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous (SHED) and human dental pulp stem cells (HDPSCs).
Methods: The electrospinning method was used to prepare a gelatin/calcium phosphate nanocomposite scaffold containing pomegranate (Punica granatum) extract.

Biosensors harness biological materials as receptors linked to transducers, enabling the capture and transformation of primary biorecognition signals into measurable outputs. This study presents a novel carboxylation method for synthesizing carboxylated graphene (CG) under acidic conditions, enhancing biosensing capabilities. The characterization of the CG was performed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), Raman spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Foraminifera are ubiquitous marine protists that intracellularly accumulate phosphate, an important macronutrient in marine ecosystems and in fertilizer potentially leaked into the ocean. Intracellular phosphate concentrations can be 100-1,000 times higher than in the surrounding water. Here we show that phosphate storage in foraminifera is widespread, from tidal flats to the deep sea.

β-Phosphoglucomutase (β-PGM) catalyzes the interconversion of β-D-glucose-1-phosphate and β-D-glucose-6-phosphate sequentially utilizing a transient aspartyl-phospho enzyme and a β-D-glucose-1,6-bisphosphate intermediate. Herein, we report the first synthesis of the isosteric, cleavage resistant, phosphonate analogue C-(1,6-deoxy-β-D-glucopyranosyl)dimethylphosphonate, to aid in mechanistic and structural investigations of β-PGM and its phosphate transfer process. The introduction of the 'pseudo anomeric' phosphonate was accomplished through methylenephosphonate anion addition to gluconolactone, whilst the second phosphonate was installed at C-6 of the β-D-glucopyranosyl moiety using a Horner-Wadsworth-Emmons (HWE) reaction on the C-6 aldehyde.
