Abstract Bone regeneration remains a great clinical challenge.Low intensity near-infrared (NIR) light showed strong potential to promote tissue regeneration, offering a promising strategy for bone defect regeneration.However, the effect and underlying mechanism of NIR on bone regeneration remain unclear.We demonstrated that bone regeneration in the

Alvin Toffler from "Future Shock" (1982) fame may be regarded as the futurist who gave renewed impetus to social responsibility.Big business has marked social responsibility as a priority on their business agenda.Successful organisations, such as the Anglo-American Corporation, Barlows, Murray and Roberts, and food chains like Checkers and Pick-n-P

Abstract Are predators of rodents beneficial for public health? This question focuses on whether predators regulate the spillover transmission of rodent-borne diseases.No clear answer has emerged because of the complex linkages across multiple trophic levels and the lack of accessible data.Although previous empirical findings have suggested ecologi

Abstract Background Across the Metazoa, similar genetic programs are found in the development of analogous, independently evolved, morphological features.The functional significance of this reuse and the underlying mechanisms of co-option remain unclear.Cephalopods have evolved a highly acute visual system with a cup-shaped retina and a novel refra

The hypersensitive response (HR) is a common feature of plant disease resistance reactions and a type of programmed cell death (PCD).Many Raspberry Ketones pathogens are able to modulate pathways involved in cell death.In contrast to animal viruses, inhibitors of PCD activity have not been identified for plant-infecting viruses.Previously, we have
