Department of Anatomy and Embryology, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Assiut University, Assiut, Egypt.
Article Synopsis
- The Japanese quail has been significant to humans since the 12th century, known for its high egg production, quality low-fat meat, and ease of management, making it valuable in both industry and research.
- A study focused on the development of the oropharyngeal salivary glands in Japanese quails, examining embryos and chicks at various ages using histological and electron microscopy techniques.
- Key findings included the early formation of sublingual and mandibular glands, which developed into mucous glands after hatching, playing important roles in food processing and moisture retention during feeding.
Innovative Biocompatible Blend Scaffold of Poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) and Poly(ε-caprolactone) for Bone Tissue Engineering: In Vitro and In Vivo Evaluation.

Centro de Ciências Naturais e Humanas (CCNH), Universidade Federal do ABC (UFABC), São Bernardo do Campo 09606-070, Brazil.
This study evaluated the biocompatibility of dense and porous forms of Poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), Poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL), and their 75/25 blend for bone tissue engineering applications. The biomaterials were characterized morphologically using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and the thickness and porosity of the scaffolds were determined. Functional assessments of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) included the MTT assay, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) production, and morphological and cytochemical analyses.

Very limited studies have been conducted on AYA patients in India. This study aimed to identify the cytogenetic and immunophenotype characteristics of B-cell ALL (B-ALL) in AYA patients and determine its correlation with clinicopathological parameters in the Southern India region.

Human parainfluenza viruses (hPIVs) are causative agents of upper and lower respiratory tract infections and they have four serotypes. The virion surface displays hemagglutinin-neuraminidase (HN), having hemagglutinating (HA) and neuraminidase (NA) activities in a single molecule. The HA activity binds the virion to sialic acid on the viral receptor on host cells and the NA releases the progeny viruses from the cell surface.

Article Synopsis
- Fluoride, while beneficial in many applications, can be toxic in higher concentrations, impacting human health, particularly concerning blood cells like platelets.
- A study was conducted on healthy male adults using sodium fluoride (NaF) to examine its effects on platelet energy metabolism, function, and viability over three days.
- Results indicated that NaF at 1 mM reduced platelet viability and function by decreasing mitochondrial energy production and increasing reactive oxygen species (ROS), with similar but less pronounced effects at 0.5 mM.
