Vitamin D Status in Patients with Proximal Muscle Weakness
Bangladesh Medical Journal, 2022 Vitamin D deficiency has emerged as a concerning public health issue, and almost 25-50% of patients with proximal muscle weakness suffer for this deficiency. It has been documented that myopathy could be a presentation of hypovitaminosis D. Most often, it remains unnoticed or undiagnosed because muscle weakness develops gradually over the years.

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.
