Sex of central neurons controls intestinal niche signalling to drive sex differences in stem cell activity and cancer susceptibility

Abstract Sex differences in cancers arising in non-reproductive organs are widespread. While sex hormones and the intrinsic sexual identity of cancer cells are well-established contributors, it is unknown whether other mechanisms are involved. Here, we reveal an unexpected source...

Dipyridamole-Coated 3D-Printed β-Tricalcium Phosphate Scaffolds: Spectrophotometric Characterization, Drug Release Kinetics, and In Vitro Evaluation to Guide Critical-Sized Bone Defect Repair Studies

Critical-sized bone defects remain a significant clinical challenge, and dipyridamole (DIPY)-coated 3D-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) scaffolds have shown promising osteogenic efficacy in preclinical models. However, the literature on the systematic physicochemical characterization...
