Cardiac tissue engineering (CTE) remains a great challenge to construct a cell-inductive scaffold that has positive effects on cardiac cell behaviors and cardiac tissue repair. In this study, we for the first time demonstrated that Si ions evidently stimulated the expression of cardiac-specific

A fatal case of poisoning due to ingestion of an apparently innocuous household product is described. A healthy 28-year-old man accidentally drank floor polish (Cristalizador, a Spanish import). On arrival at the emergency room a few hours later he passed large amounts of bloody stool and lost

Stem-cell therapy has been proved as a promising strategy for myocardial infarction (MI) treatment. However, the therapeutic efficacy is mainly limited by the cellular activity of transplanted mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). In this study, a novel bioglass (BG)/γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA)/chitosan

In order to assess the potential impact of the geological environment on the health of the population of the Slovak Republic, the geological environment was divided into eight major units: Paleozoic, Crystalline, Carbonatic Mesozoic and basal Paleogene, Carbonatic-silicate Mesozoic and Paleogene,
