Hydrogels as artificial biomaterial scaffolds offer a much favoured 3D microenvironment for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine (TERM). Towards biomimicry of the native ECM, polysaccharides from Nature have been proposed as ideal surrogates given their biocompatibility. In particular, derivatives from microbial sources have emerged as economical and sustainable biomaterials due to their fast and high yielding production procedures.

Aging affects numerous physiological processes, as well as behavior. A large number of these processes are regulated, at least partially, by hypothalamic orexin neurons, and orexin tone may decrease with normal aging. In this study, we hypothesized that designer receptors exclusively activated by designer drugs (DREADD) stimulation of orexin neuronal activity will ameliorate the effect of aging on behavioral and metabolic alterations in young and middle-aged mice.

Background: Exercise has profound pleiotropic health benefits, yet the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood. Endocrine FGF21, bile acids (BAs), and BA-induced FGF19 have emerged as metabolic signaling molecules. Here, we investigated if dissimilar modes of exercise, resistance exercise (RE) and endurance exercise (EE), regulate plasma BAs, FGF19, and FGF21 in humans.

Objective: To analyze 6 different types of visible anterior occlusion, exclusive of extraoral facial features, in terms of their esthetic appeal, as perceived by 91 randomly selected adult laypersons with different levels of education in Lima, Peru.
Methods: Photographic images of 3 examples of each occlusion type (open bite [OB], deep bite [DB], crossbite [CB], end-to-end bite [EE], crowded bite [CwB] and ideal bite [IB]) were prepared. Evaluators used a visual analogue scale (VAS) to rate their perceptions of the esthetic appeal of each view.
