Platelets as Regenerative Cells, Hundreds of Opportunities in Sight

Received: 21 May 2024;  Published: 13 August 2024;  doi: 10.21926/obm.transplant.2403223

Abstract

Platelets were the last to be discovered of the three formed blood elements. Several scientists have been interested in them, recognizing them as cells other than leukocytes and erythrocytes. Its job in hemostasis and thrombosis is currently known. Platelets contain growth factors and secrete cytokines, which have roles in inflammation and tissue regeneration processes. This is why platelet concentrates have been widely used in regenerative medicine, an emerging field that involves biomolecules, cells, and scaffold [...]

X Ray-Induced Insulinoma Cell Line Rin-5F Has a Novel Mutation Site, C.A1459G (P.T487A), in Death Domain Associated Protein (DAXX) Gene

Received: 05 January 2024;  Published: 19 March 2024;  doi: 10.21926/obm.genet.2401223

Abstract

A popular toxicological and pharmacological research cell line is the insulin-secreting pancreatic cell line Rin-5F. The cell line originates from insulinomas induced by X-ray exposure. The author of this report looked at the mutation status of the DAXX gene in the Rin-5F cell line clone. The complete DNA and RNA were extracted from the cultivated cells as well. Double-stranded cDNA was then synthesized using the RNA template. Sequencing was done using a 3730xl DNA Analyzer. In the present study, c.A1459G (p.T487A) [...]

A Systematic Literature Review for the Development of a Consolidated Method for DLCA

Received: 28 May 2025;  Published: 23 September 2025;  doi: 10.21926/rpse.2503014

Abstract

Dynamic Life Cycle Assessment (DLCA) is an emerging approach in the construction industry it is. Yet, current research is often limited, overlooks operational patterns, and relies on generic case studies, highlighting the need for an extended method to apply these analyses in the built environment. This study conducts a Systematic Literature Review to evaluate the current state of DLCA research and identify key steps toward developing a unified and globally applicable methodology. Using the PRISMA protocol, 69 peer [...]

The Independence Principle - A Neglected Feature of the Hodgkin Huxley Legacy

Received: 19 May 2024;  Published: 17 March 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.neurobiol.2501278

Abstract

The legacy of Hodgkin and Huxley rests on their squid giant axon studies, which were summarised in an empirical model of impressive predictive power that successfully quantified the permeability changes of excitable membranes and accurately reconstructed the action potential. Hodgkin and Huxley applied the independence principle to their experimental data in order to reveal potential mechanism(s) of trans-membrane ion movements. This was motivated by their lack of information on the manner in which ions crossed the [...]

Scoping Review of Nutraceuticals Use in Mediterranean Diet

Received: 25 September 2023;  Published: 05 July 2024;  doi: 10.21926/obm.icm.2403039

Abstract

Mediterranean diet, considered key to varied diets, raises whether it is necessary to supplement it with compounds like nutraceuticals to obtain more benefits. A scoping review was conducted. Nine articles were selected that compared the effects of nutraceuticals on biochemical markers (such as total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDLc)), weight, and blood pressure in various studies to the results observed in groups only exposed to the Mediterranean diet. The aim was to assess the impact of [...]

Parenting Behavior and Early Childhood Mental Health: Cortisol Awakening Response as a Moderator of Child Internalizing and Externalizing

Received: 02 September 2024;  Published: 04 March 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.icm.2501011

Abstract

Certain observable parenting behaviors contribute to the risk of children developing internalizing and externalizing problems. Yet parenting behaviors do not affect all children uniformly and effects may depend on identifiable child characteristics. One factor is a child’s biological sensitivity to the caregiving environment, an indicator of which is a stress hormone, cortisol. This longitudinal study examines two dimensions of observable parenting behaviors, responsive and rejecting/harsh. These parenting behavior [...]

Photon Recycling for Indoor Energy Harvesting: Optical Optimization of LED-Driven Silicon Photovoltaic Systems

Received: 06 July 2025;  Published: 11 September 2025;  doi: 10.21926/jept.2503013

Abstract

Indoor environments offer a unique opportunity for photon recycling using LED-based illumination, particularly to address energy limitations of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems during nighttime or in low-light conditions. This study presents an optical and electrical performance evaluation of silicon-based photovoltaic (SPV) panels operating under controlled indoor LED lighting. Despite the low irradiance (~1.4 mW/cm2), significant power output was achieved through engineered panel configurations and optimized light [...]
