Metaplasticity framework for cross-modal synaptic plasticity in adults

Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience, 2023
Sensory loss leads to widespread adaptation of neural circuits to mediate cross-modal plasticity, which allows the organism to better utilize the remaining senses to guide behavior.

Anatomical Considerations and Plastic Surgery Reconstruction Options of Sacral Chordoma Resection

Cureus, 2023
Introduction Chordomas are slow-growing malignant bone tumors arising from remnant embryonic notochord cells with predilection for the sacrum. They rarely metastasize, and early surgical resection with clear margins is the treatment of choice followed by plastic surgery reconstruction supplemented with adjuvant radiotherapy based on the local treatment

Plasma‐Treated Hydrogel for Combined RONS and Chemotherapy Delivery: A Proof‐of‐Concept In Ovo

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores plasma‐treated hydrogels (PTH) as a new way to deliver both reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and chemotherapy (Doxorubicin) directly to tumors. In ovo tests show effects after a single dose, especially in osteosarcoma tumors. Tumor weight decrease, and a resistance‐related protein is reduced.

Calcium Imparts Advanced Functionalities to Silk Hydrogels for Biofabrication and Biomedical Innovation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The addition of calcium ions to silk fibroin enhances the hydrogel properties and, when combined with visible light crosslinking, enables compatibility with advanced light‐based fabrication techniques. Calcium ions extend the shelf‐life of silk and facilitate the fabrication of multizonal, multilayered constructs for advanced stimuli‐responsive ...

Mechanically Tunable Bone Scaffolds: In Vivo Hardening of 3D‐Printed Calcium Phosphate/Polycaprolactone Inks

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A 3D bone scaffold with osteogenic properties and capable of hardening in vivo is developed. The scaffold is implanted in a ductile state, and a phase transformation of the ceramic induces the stiffening and strengthening of the scaffold in vivo. Abstract Calcium phosphate 3D printing has revolutionized customized bone grafting.

A Self‐Curling Si3N4‐Biofunctionalized Nerve Wrap for Suture‐Free Peripheral Nerve Repair with Multimodal Regenerative Bioregulation

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Si3N4‐enhanced bioactive nanostructured adhesive wrap enables rapid conduit formation in wet environments, simplifying surgical procedures. Incorporated Si3N4 undergoes controlled hydrolysis within nanofibers, multi‐directionally modulating the peripheral nerve repair microenvironment for effective suture‐free repair.

The mechanotransduction protein STOML3 is required for proprioceptor plasticity following peripheral nerve regeneration

Experimental Physiology
Nerve regeneration is associated with the plasticity of sensory neurons such that even muscle afferents directed to the skin form mechanosensitive receptive fields appropriate for the new target.

Cortical GABAergic Interneurons in Cross-Modal Plasticity following Early Blindness

Neural Plasticity, 2012
Early loss of a given sensory input in mammals causes anatomical and functional modifications in the brain via a process called cross-modal plasticity. In the past four decades, several animal models have illuminated our understanding of the biological ...
