Evidence of bacterial imprints in different types of non-struvite kidney stones

BMC Urology
Background Recent studies of renal lithiasis identified bacterial imprints in apatite phosphate stones and mixed calcium oxalate/apatite phosphate stones, neither of which contained struvite.

Probiotic Supplementation in Chronic Kidney Disease: Outcomes on Uremic Toxins, Inflammation, and Vascular Calcification from Experimental and Clinical Models

Toxins
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with gut microbiota alterations that contribute to increased inflammation and the generation of uremic toxins and may worsen the disease progression.

Circulating microRNAs and vascular calcification in hemodialysis patients

Journal of International Medical Research, 2019
Objective Vascular calcification is common in chronic dialysis patients and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. However, the role of circulating microRNAs (miRs) in vascular calcification has rarely been investigated.

Structural insights into an engineered feruloyl esterase with improved MHET degrading properties

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
A feruloyl esterase was engineered to mimic key features of MHETase, enhancing the degradation of PET oligomers. Structural and computational analysis reveal how a point mutation stabilizes the active site and reshapes the binding cleft, expading substrate scope.

Diversity and complexity in neural organoids

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Neural organoid research aims to expand genetic diversity on one side and increase tissue complexity on the other. Chimeroids integrate multiple donor genomes within single organoids. Self‐organising multi‐identity organoids, exogenous cell seeding, or enforced assembly of region‐specific organoids contribute to tissue complexity.

Study of the histomorphology of human pineal gland

National Journal of Clinical Anatomy, 2023
Introduction: Histologically, the pineal gland shows pinealocytes, glial cells, and sometimes calcific concretions. Age-related changes in these three components have been reported by various workers.

Linking neurogenesis, oligodendrogenesis, and myelination defects to neurodevelopmental disruption in primary mitochondrial disorders

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mitochondrial remodeling shapes neural and glial lineage progression by matching metabolic supply with demand. Elevated OXPHOS supports differentiation and myelin formation, while myelin compaction lowers mitochondrial dependence, revealing mitochondria as key drivers of developmental energy adaptation.

Metastatic calcification

Dermatology Online Journal, 2003
Calciphylaxis is a rare, painful, and debilitating disease of widespread metastatic calcification that progresses to ischemic tissue necrosis. It occurs almost exclusively in patients with end-stage renal disease and secondary hyperparathyroidism. Reticulated, violaceous, mottled patches commonly appear on the lower extremities and progress to cordlike

Reconstruction of deglacial sea surface temperatures in the tropical Pacific from selective analysis of a fossil coral [PDF]

, 2005
The Sr/Ca of coral skeletons demonstrates potential as an indicator of sea surface temperatures (SSTs). However, the glacial-interglacial SST ranges predicted from Sr/Ca of fossil corals are usually higher than from other marine proxies.
