Evaluating programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma: concordance between the 22C3 PharmDx assay and the SP263 assay on whole sections from a multicentre study. [PDF]
Aims The introduction of immunotherapy for patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) raises the need for harmonisation between different types of antibody and immunohistochemistry platform for evaluating the expression of PD‐L1 by use of the combined positive score (CPS) in this tumour.

Strontium Promotes the Proliferation and Osteogenic Differentiation of Human Placental Decidual Basalis- and Bone Marrow-Derived MSCs in a Dose-Dependent Manner. [PDF]
The osteogenic potential of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) varies among different tissue sources. Strontium enhances the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow‐derived MSCs (BM‐MSCs), but whether it exerts similar effects on placental decidual basalis‐derived MSCs (PDB‐MSCs) remains unknown.

Comparison of the Proliferation and Differentiation Potential of Human Urine-, Placenta Decidua Basalis-, and Bone Marrow-Derived Stem Cells. [PDF]
Human multipotent stem cell‐based therapies have shown remarkable potential in regenerative medicine and tissue engineering applications due to their abilities of self‐renewal and differentiation into multiple adult cell types under appropriate conditions.

The orobasal organ (of Ackerknecht): A bizarre structure of the mammalian oral cavity
In 1912, Ackerknecht discovered and described an epithelial invagination behind the lower medial incisors in different mammalian species. This rudimentary structure might be a vestiagial organ which lost its physiological function. Named after its discoverer the “orobasal organ of Ackerknecht” is widely unknown in the scientific world.
