Pediatric sarcomas present heterogeneous morphology, genetics and clinical behavior posing a challenge for an accurate diagnosis. DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that coordinates chromatin structure and regulates gene expression, determining cell type and function. DNA methylation-based tumor profiling classifier for sarcomas (known as sarcoma classifier) from the German Cancer Research Center (Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum) was applied to 122 pediatric sarcomas referred to a reference pediatric oncology hospital.

Background: Some odontogenic cysts (OCs) and odontogenic tumors (OTs) are infiltrative and often recur, causing bone destruction and tooth loss. In the elderly, in particular, these injuries cause significant morbidity, making rehabilitation difficult and compromising the quality of life of these individuals. Objective: To determine the prevalence and demographic characteristics of OCs, non-odontogenic cysts (NOCs), and OTs diagnosed in an elderly Brazilian population (≥60 years).

Introduction: Among the wide variety of commercially oral hygiene products, activated charcoal-based toothpastes have irrupted the market, claiming multiple benefits. Although most are fluoride free, others incorporate fluoride into their formulations, yet the chemical availability and stability of fluoride in these products remain unclear. Our study aimed to assess the chemical availability and stability of fluoride in commercially fluoridated toothpastes formulated with activated charcoal.

While bumblebees may be exposed to microplastics (MPs), the effects on them are not well studied. Therefore, in this research, we assessed the cytotoxicity of pristine and photodegraded spray paint-derived MPs on the midgut, Malpighian tubules, and hepato-nephrocitic system cells of Bombus atratus workers exposed to 50 mg.L MPs for 96 hours.

Unlabelled: Β-glucosidase (BGLs) act synergistically with endoglucanases and exoglucanases and then are of great interest for biomass conversion into bioethanol. Thus, the aim of the current study is to produce a recombinant β-glycosidase from expressed in cells. Enzyme coding sequence expression was confirmed through Sanger sequencing after using wheat bran (WB) and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) as fungal growth media.

The transition from fossil fuels dependency to embracing renewable alternatives is pivotal for mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, with biorefineries playing a central role at the forefront of this transition. As a sustainable alternative, lignocellulosic feedstocks hold great promise for biofuels and biochemicals production. However, the effective utilization of complex sugars, such as xylose, remains a significant hurdle.

Telocytes are CD34 interstitial cells that have long cytoplasmic projections (called telopodes), and have been detected in several organs, including those of the male reproductive system. In this brief review we evaluate the role of telocytes in tissue organization of the different organs of the male reproductive system in which these cells were studied. In general terms, telocytes act in the tissue organization through networks of telopodes that separate the epithelia from the stroma, as well as dividing the stroma into different compartments.

Exposure to pesticides, individually or in a mixture, in drinking water is one of the main sources of human contamination, which causes adverse effects on the reproductive system. Our study aimed to investigate, the effects of a 90-day exposure to low concentrations of glyphosate (GLY), atrazine (ATZ), and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), in commercial formulations, on morphological, molecular, and hormonal parameters of the ventral prostate of gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus). The animals were exposed via drinking water to individual concentrations of GLY: 700 μg/L, ATZ: 3 μg/L, and 2,4-D: 70 μg/L, as well as to their mixture (MIX).

SDIMMMER is an acronym intended for use in both clinical practice and medical research. It facilitates a comprehensive evaluation of a patient's metabolic profile and serves as a mnemonic for the following key assessment areas: Sleep, Diet, Microbiome, Metabolism, Medications, Exams, and Rehabilitation. In the clinical setting, SDIMMMER's primary objective is to monitor and manage the patient's metabolic status, particularly targeting low-grade chronic systemic inflammation, a hallmark of metabolic syndrome (MS).

The ability of plants to recover after stressful events is crucial for resuming growth and development and is a key trait when studying stress tolerance. However, there is a lack of information on the physiological responses and the time required to restore homeostasis after the stress experience. This study aimed to (i) enhance understanding of soybean photosynthesis performance during saline waterlogging and (ii) investigate the effects of this combined stress during the reoxygenation and recovery period.

Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is linked to high mortality, primarily through an intense inflammatory response. Diacerein has emerged as a potential therapy for COVID-19 due to its potential impact in decreasing the inflammasome activation and coronavirus replication. This study aims to explore diacerein's influence in inhibiting both viral replication and the inflammatory response after SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Consumers have been demanding foods that, besides providing nutrition, bring some health benefits, known as functional foods. The insertion of probiotics in foods is a strategy for developing functional foods. Still, it has been a challenge because these matrices have different pHs and undergo different process temperatures and times that can reduce the viability of these microorganisms.
