Efficient Hydroxyapatite Extraction from Salmon Bone Waste: An Improved Lab-Scaled Physico-Chemico-Biological Process by Muñoz, Francisco, Haidar, Ziyad S., Puigdollers, Andreu, Guerra, Ignacio, Padilla, María Cristina, Ortega, Nicole, Balcells, Mercedes, García, María José

“…Salmon aquaculture generates significant volumes of waste, offering a sustainable opportunity for biomaterial production, particularly in osteo-conduction/-induction, and de novo clinical/surgical bone regeneration. Henceforth, this study explores re-purposing salmon waste through a standardized pre-treatment process that minimizes the biological <i>waste</i> content, followed by a treatment stage to remove proteins, lipids, and other compounds, resulting in a mineral-rich substrate. …”

Effect of inflammation on apolipoprotein A-1(apoA-1) secretion by intestinal cells. by Yu, Kenneth.

“…In contrast, pro-inflammatory drugs such as lipopolysaccharides and endotoxin appeared to decrease intestinal secretion of apoA-1. These results indicate that aspirin and paracetamol, two of the most widely used medications for fevers and headaches, may have beneficial effects on the metabolism of high-density-lipoproteins(HDL),the so-called" good cholesterol" by increasing the rate of apoA-1 secretion by the intestine. …”

Metaverse for virtual education 1 by Lau, Wynne Chen Yi

“…Several studies have indicated that the use of higher quality VR equipment provides a more immersive experience for its users, however, not all education institutes have the budget to invest in the more expensive and higher quality VR equipment for every one of their students. Hence, this project focuses on the development of a metaverse prototype for applications in virtual education to help educational institutes manage the use of the limited amount of VR equipment. …”
