Background: Bioceramics are widely used as a biomaterial to promote bone regeneration.Bone defect management requires the placement of bone grafts.Though there are many bone grafts available, these have certain limitations like limited supply and second surgical site morbidity.Phytochemicals in plants are known to have bone regeneration capacity an

In recent years, the development of smart drug delivery systems based on biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles has become of great interest.Drug-loaded nanoparticles can be introduced into the cell interior via endocytotic processes followed by the slow release of the drug due to degradation of the nanoparticle.In this work, poly(L-lactic acid) (PL

Structured Abstract: Background: Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) is a widely used tool to explore the causal role of focal brain regions in cognitive processing.TMS effects over attentional processes are consistent and replicable, while at the same time Red Mineral Algae subjected to individual variability.This individual variability needs

The creation of Chicken private protected areas (PPA) is commonly considered an instrument of neoliberal conservation, characterized by private management and commodification of nature for (eco)tourism and other market-based instruments (MBIs).PPAs are accused of reproducing social inequalities when entailing enclosure, exclusivity, land grabbing o
