Article Synopsis
  • Amniotic epithelial stem cells (AEC) have regenerative potential, particularly through their conditioned medium (AEC-CM), which shows immunomodulatory and regenerative effects.
  • A novel hydrogel made from hyaluronic acid and polyethylene glycol was developed to encapsulate AEC-CM, with features like fast cross-linking and sustained growth factor release over 14 days.
  • Studies demonstrate that the encapsulated AEC-CM significantly enhances the suppression of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and promotes a shift towards the beneficial M2 macrophage phenotype, suggesting its viability as an immunomodulatory treatment for tissue regeneration.

Here we report the discovery of ceramic fragments that form part of a Gorgoneion, a ceramic image representation of the Gorgon Medusa.

We discuss the context of this discovery, both within the inner topography of the cave itself, and also the broader geographical context.
