Minne, translated: embodying liturgy, love, and pandemic trauma in the Diepenveen sister-book and a revelation from Facons by Perk, GG

“…This article traces how individual and collective trauma interplay in pandemic trauma by anatomizing the aftershocks of plague in two late medieval vernacular texts produced by Devotio Moderna communities of Augustinian canonesses regular, a sister-book from Diepenveen (northeastern Low Countries; present-day Netherlands) and a visionary text from the convent of Facons in Antwerp (present-day Belgium), Visioen en exempel by Jacomijne Costers (d. 1503). …”

Edible Bird's Nest treatment effects on subchondral bone and articular cartilage changes and synovial fluid proteome profiles in an osteoarthritis rabbit model by Syed Sulaiman, Sharifah Zakiah

“…The synovial fluid were subjected to MALDI TOF/TOF analysis. Bone volume over tissue volume for surgically induced group increased in femur (35.35%) and tibia (32.82%) during week 12 which suggested bone remodelling whereas chemically induced group showed persistent bone resorption with decreased value of BV/TV in femur (27.12%) and tibia (26.82%). …”

Human Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells show unique gene expression compared with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells using single-cell RNA-sequencing by Barrett, Angela N., Fong, Chui-Yee, Subramanian, Arjunan, Liu, Wenting, Feng, Yirui, Choolani, Mahesh, Biswas, Arijit, Rajapakse, Jagath Chandana, Bongso, Ariff

“…Their broad differentiation potential, high rate of proliferation, ready availability from discarded cords, and prolonged maintenance of stemness properties in culture make them an attractive alternative source of MSCs with therapeutic value compared with human bone marrow MSCs (hBMMSCs). We aimed to characterize the differences in gene expression profiles between these two stem cell types using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-Seq) to determine which pathways are involved in conferring hWJSCs with their unique properties. …”
