Commented on Are bed bug outbreaks are real
It is just happened. South Korea declares war on bedbugs after surge in reported cases.

Article

Commented on Bed bugs
It is spreading in Asia now. Hope it won’t become an epidemic issue.

Article

Commented on Bed Bugs
It has been outbreak recently in EU and now in South Korea. This is mainly because of the reduced use of DTT.

Article

Commented on The illusion of moral decline
The widespread belief in a global moral decline, held for decades, is likely an illusion not supported by long-term data. Studies indicate that this belief may stem from psychological biases in processing and remembering information. The perception changes when focusing on familiar individuals or historical figures, suggesting the importance of personal connections in shaping views on morality. Understanding this misperception is vital as it can impact how societies allocate resources and maintain social cohesion.

Commented on 3D Extracellular Matrix Mimics: Fundamental Concepts and Role of Materials Chemistry to Influence Stem Cell Fate
Synthetic 3D extracellular matrices (ECMs) are essential for more accurately replicating the in vivo cellular environment in research and medical applications, overcoming the limitations of traditional 2D cultures that can lead to unnatural cell behavior. They are key in regenerative medicine and drug discovery for providing cells with bioresponsive microenvironments that promote desired cell functions and fates. The review emphasizes the necessity of finely tuned biochemical and structural components in synthetic ECMs to achieve functional mimics of the natural cell matrix.

Commented on Impact of electromagnetic fields on stem cells: common mechanisms at the crossroad between adult neurogenesis and osteogenesis
Interesting article. Research on adult stem cells has made strides in understanding and influencing the mechanisms of neural and bone tissue repair. Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) have been found to support these regenerative processes, particularly by inducing epigenetic changes that promote neurogenesis and osteogenesis. These findings suggest that EMFs could be harnessed to guide stem cell differentiation, making them a promising tool for enhancing repair therapies through targeted epigenetic modulation.
