Engaging in policy-related work offers a unique opportunity to contribute to positive change, foster inclusive decision-making processes, and make a lasting impact on society.
Intellectual property plays a crucial role in fostering innovation, protecting the rights of creators and inventors, and promoting economic growth by encouraging the development and dissemination of new ideas and products.
My favorite ten simple rules paper published in PLoS, here is the new paper on how to serve as an editor, I have copied and pasted the 10 rules here:
Rule 1: Only accept an invitation if you can do it—be dedicated to it, and ensure you can realistically prioritize it
Rule 2: Draw upon your experiences to guide your decision-making as an editor—Look backward (on your own experiences), and look forward (with appreciation and respect)
Rule 3: Be fair and objective in judging the work, and treat all parties respectfully at all times
Rule 4: Don’t communicate about a manuscript outside of the journal system
Rule 5: Remember the 90:10 rule: 10% of manuscripts will take 90% of your time
Rule 6: Be prepared to adjudicate the majority of papers
Rule 7: View yourself as a matchmaker between manuscripts and the journal
Rule 8: Use the reviews—and the journal’s tools—judiciously
Rule 9: Beware conflicts of interest
Rule 10: The review process should improve a paper in a finite amount of time
Interesting work! But how do the 2,3-disubstituted 4H-chromen-4-ones, which were identified in the study, enhance BMP activity and promote bone formation (osteogenic efficacy)?
This study showed that LMT-28, a molecule targeting GP130, was effective in reducing bone resorption around implants caused by LPS in diabetic rats. By downregulating RANKL expression through the JAK2/STAT3 pathway, LMT-28 reduced bone resorption and decreased osteoclast activity. These findings suggest that LMT-28 has potential as a therapeutic option for managing peri-implantitis in individuals with diabetes.
In this study, scientists aimed to improve bone fracture healing by using two small molecules in a novel therapeutic approach. They administered smoothened agonist 21k (SAG21k) to activate the sonic hedgehog pathway and stimulate cartilage development, along with injections of prolyl hydroxylase domain 2 (PHD2) inhibitor, IOX2, to enhance endochondral bone formation. The combined SAG-IOX2 therapy proved successful in promoting cartilage and bone formation in a murine femoral segmental defect nonunion model, indicating its potential to enhance fracture callus development in challenging bone injuries. Very interesting work!
In this article, the authors provided a comprehensive review of the progress, applications, development timeline, limitations, and future prospects concerning genetically modified cell spheroids.
One of my recent research articles published in PNAS last month. Briefly, the utilization of short-term small molecule forskolin treatment as a regenerative approach for long bone regeneration in rabbits is a focal point of interest in this context.
The tidemark, a selectively permeable membrane forming part of the OC interface, has received limited attention in current research. However, its regeneration is crucial for accurately replicating the native structure and function of osteochondral tissues.
The webinar linking lipedema to subclinical compartment syndrome presents a novel and intriguing perspective on the condition. It could significantly impact our understanding of lipedema's underlying causes and potential treatment approaches.
The expert panelists shed light on this alternative approach, providing a global update on its advancements and implications in the field of cardiac surgery.
By the way, what are the key findings and advantages of the ruthenium-doped iron catalyst synthesized by subcritical deposition, as observed in the study?
The present poster work addresses the gap by focusing on the synthesis of deposited Mo-containing aluminum oxide systems, aiming to unravel their properties using modern physicochemical methods.
