A method, introduced by the authors, for assessment of the extent of bone marrow haemopoietic activity in normal subjects is reported. 99mTc-sulfur colloid is injected, and the bone marrow visualized on gamma camera, type Phogamma-HP, which is equipped with 4096 channel analyzer (Nuclear Chicago). By use of a standard and by registering the activity in "zones of interest" from the arm, forearm, thigh and lower leg bones, indices and mean normal values in 26 normal subjects were calculated and reported.

Background: Since there is currently no cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), it is essential to search for diagnostic biomarkers and novel treatments to reduce the severity of this disease. One of these treatment approaches is stem cell transplantation.

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of repeated transplantation of autologous bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) in patients with ALS by analyzing clinical and molecular data.

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a rare, life-threatening syndrome of excessive immune activation, leading to severe inflammation and organ damage. While more common in infants, HLH can occur at any age and is often triggered by infections such as Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). In this case, a 38-year-old man presented with a three-week history of fevers, night sweats, poor appetite, and severe anemia.

Cartilage repair remains a significant challenge due to the tissue's limited innate regenerative capacity. Despite advances in techniques such as microfracture, autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI), and osteochondral grafting, long-term outcomes are often compromised by complications, including suboptimal tissue integration, graft resorption, and mechanical instability. Recently, biologically augmented scaffold-based cartilage repair has emerged as a promising approach for full-thickness osteochondral lesions.

Studying embryogenesis is fundamental to understanding developmental biology and reproductive medicine. Its process requires precise spatiotemporal regulations in which lipid metabolism plays a crucial role. However, the spatial dynamics of lipid species at the subcellular level remains obscure due to technical limitations.
