Long-patch Base Excision Repair01:02

Long-patch Base Excision Repair

Since the discovery of the two BER pathways, there has been a debate about how a cell chooses one pathway over the other and the factors determining this selection. Numerous in vitro experiments have pointed out multiple determinants for the sub-pathway selection. These are:
Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells01:12

Renewal of Skin Epidermal Stem Cells

The skin is divided into epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis, the skin's outermost, middle, and inner layers. The human epidermal layer regularly undergoes renewal, where old, dead cells are replaced by new cells. Epidermal stem cells or EpiSCs divide and differentiate to restore the lost cells. For the renewal process, some EpiSCs continuously self-renew. In contrast, few others differentiate into transit-amplifying cells, which later form prickle or spinous cells, followed by granular cells,...
Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell01:06

Multipotency and Niche of Bulge Stem Cell

A hair follicle or HF is a small part of the skin that produces the hair shaft. Paul Gerson Unna was the first to observe a bulge in the human hair follicle's outer root sheath (ORS). The bulge is present between the sebaceous gland and the arrector pili muscle and is the niche for hair follicle stem cells (HFSCs). The bulge is also a niche for melanocyte stem cells, and their loss results in graying of hair. The HFSCs express Sox9 and Lhx2, which help them maintain stemness and prevent...
Papillary Dermis01:11

Papillary Dermis

Dermis
The dermis might be considered the "core" of the integumentary system, as distinct from the epidermis and hypodermis. It contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and other structures, such as hair follicles and sweat glands. The dermis is made of two layers of connective tissue that comprise an interconnected mesh of elastin and collagenous fibers, produced by fibroblasts.
Papillary Layer
The papillary layer is made of loose, areolar connective tissue, which means the collagen and...
Accessory Structures of the Skin: Hair and Hair Follicles01:16

Accessory Structures of the Skin: Hair and Hair Follicles

Hair and hair follicles are integral components of the integumentary system. Hair is a filamentous structure composed mainly of a protein called keratin. It is found on the surface of the skin throughout the body, except for areas such as the palms of the hands and soles of the feet.
Hair is a keratinous filament growing out of the epidermis. It is primarily made of dead, keratinized cells. Hair strands originate at the epidermal penetration called the hair follicle. The hair shaft is the part...
Bioreactor Controls-II01:18

Bioreactor Controls-II

In aerobic fermentations, oxygen is vital for microbial growth and metabolite production. Since air comprises only about 20% oxygen and the gas is poorly soluble in water—just 9 ppm at 20°C—supplying sufficient oxygen becomes a critical challenge, especially in high-demand processes like yeast growth or citric acid production. Even a fully saturated broth may offer only a few seconds of oxygen availability.To address this, sterile or scrubbed air is introduced into the fermentor via a sparger...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Traditional Chinese Medicine
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Motor-cognitive dual tasks show potential for improving motor and cognitive functions.
  • Current therapeutic effects of dual tasks are limited, necessitating performance enhancement strategies.
  • Scalp acupuncture, a Traditional Chinese Medicine technique, offers neuroprotection and improves cognitive dysfunction in central nervous system diseases.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To standardize and evaluate the combined intervention of scalp acupuncture and motor-cognitive dual task.
  • To compare the effects of combined intervention versus dual task alone on healthy subjects.
  • To investigate the underlying mechanisms of scalp acupuncture's influence on cognitive performance, gait, and cortical function.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized cross-over trial design was employed.
  • Healthy subjects underwent both scalp acupuncture synchronized with motor-cognitive dual task and motor-cognitive dual task alone.
  • Standardized protocols for both interventions were established.

Main Results:

  • The protocol provides a framework for investigating the synergistic effects of scalp acupuncture and motor-cognitive dual tasks.
  • It lays the groundwork for understanding potential improvements in cognitive performance, gait control, and cortical activity.
  • Initial findings suggest a potential for enhanced therapeutic outcomes through this combined approach.

Conclusions:

  • Combining scalp acupuncture with motor-cognitive dual tasks may offer synergistic benefits for neurological rehabilitation.
  • This approach provides a novel, non-drug strategy integrating Traditional Chinese Medicine and Western medicine principles.
  • Further research is warranted to establish clinical efficacy and elucidate precise mechanisms of action.
