PGK1 (phosphoglycerate kinase-1) is required for ATP production in the body. Mutation in the PGK1 gene causes a rare, inherited metabolic disorder causing deficiency of enzyme PGK1, leading to hemolytic anemia, neurological symptoms, and muscle weakness. We generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from a patient carrying a PGK1 variant by isolating fibroblasts from skin punch biopsy and reprogramming using CytoTune iPS 2.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the chemical solubility (CS) and conduct a comprehensive physicochemical characterization of several experimental and commercial lithium silicate-based glass-ceramics towards an understanding of the chemical processes governing dissolution in these glass-ceramics.
Methodology: Glass-ceramic (GC) samples were categorized into two groups: experimental materials featuring lithium metasilicate crystals (GCE1 and GCE2); and five commercial brands relying mostly on lithium disilicate (Celtra®Duo, IPS e.max®CAD, Straumann®n!ce®, CEREC Tessera™, and VITA Suprinity®).

A biomonitoring study of air pollution was developed in an urban-industrial area (Seixal, Portugal) using leaves of strawberry plants ( Duchesne ex Rozier) as biomonitors to identify the main sources and hotspots of air pollution in the study area. The distribution of exposed strawberry plants in the area was based on a citizen science approach, where residents were invited to have the plants exposed outside their homes. Samples were collected from a total of 49 different locations, and their chemical composition was analyzed for 22 chemical elements using X-ray Fluorescence spectrometry.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the optical, mechanical, and biological properties of two new, inexpensive lithium disilicate (LS2) materials (Lodden (LOD), LD Medical Technology; and BeautyZir (BZ), BeautyZir Technology) to a clinically established LS2 material (IPS e.max CAD (EMAX), Ivoclar Vivadent).
Methods And Materials: The optical properties of the translucency parameter (TP) and opalescence parameter (OP) were obtained with a dental spectrophotometer.

The rapid advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AI) presents unprecedented opportunities for participatory environmental management. This paper explores the integration of AI technologies into participatory approaches, which engage diverse stakeholders in environmental decision-making processes. Using artificial intelligence, a corpus of 80 papers was compiled and subsequently analyzed with text mining tools.
