In 1986, Harold F. Dvorak, Professor of Pathology at Harvard Medical School Boston, published an essay in the New England Journal of Medicine entitled "Tumors: Wounds that do not heal" pointed out that similarities exist between tumor stroma generation and wound healing. Cancers share many features in common with tissue regeneration, including immune response, cell proliferation, cell migration, tissue remodeling, and cell death. In this review article, we analyze the importance and the limits of this concept, which confirm the close relationship between two apparently different biological processes.

Revisiting sinking skin flap syndrome: a series of case reports and literature review on cranioplasty with PEEK implants.
Neurol Res

Department of Neurosurgery, The First Hospital of Lanzhou University, Lanzhou, China.
Sinking Skin Flap Syndrome(SSFS) is a rare and specific complication following decompressive craniectomy(DC). Another condition, known as syndrome of the trephined(ST), shares many similarities in clinical symptoms and signs with this condition, yet they are fundamentally different. Therefore, they should be considered as two distinct diseases, and their respective concepts should not be used interchangeably as synonyms.

Georgina Mace introduced a compelling perspective on the major shifts in conservation science's framing and purpose from 1960 to 2010. A decade ago, she proposed that the conservation community had begun to move into a new framing of 'people and nature' based on changes in perspectives on the relationships between people and nature and new interdisciplinary concepts and methods used in conservation. Progress in using this frame is clear as 'two-way dynamic relationships between people and nature' have since taken centre stage in science, practice and policy.

The dual challenges of global population explosion and environmental deterioration represent major hurdles for 21 Century agriculture culminating in an unprecedented demand for food security. In this Review, we revisit historical concepts of plasticity and canalization before integrating them with contemporary studies of genotype-environment interactions (G×E) that are currently being carried out at the genome-wide level. In doing so we address both fundamental questions regarding G×E and potential strategies to best secure yields in both current and future climate scenarios.

Department of Physics, Southern University of Science & Technology, Shenzhen, Guangdong 518055, People's Republic of China.
Miniaturization of ferroelectrics for technological applications has proven challenging due to the suppression of electric polarization caused by increasing depolarization fields as material thickness decreases. The emergence of ferroelectricity in two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials offers a potential solution to this challenge, prompting significant research efforts over the past decade. While intrinsic 2D vdW ferroelectrics are scarce, polar stacking provides a more general approach to introducing ferroelectricity in these materials.

Med Sci Educ
December 2024
Department of Pharmacology, University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Chapel Hill, NC USA.
Future physicians require a strong foundational knowledge of autonomic nervous system (ANS) pharmacology to safely prescribe many medications. Spaced repetition in medical education has previously been examined in the literature. However, we have yet to elucidate the perception of spaced repetition integration into pharmacology curricula across multiple organ systems from a cohort of medical students.
