Article Abstract
Background And Aims: Root cortical senescence (RCS) is a poorly understood phenomenon with implications for adaptation to edaphic stress. It was hypothesized that RCS in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is (1) accelerated by exogenous ethylene exposure; (2) accompanied by differential expression of ethylene synthesis and signalling genes; and (3) associated with differential expression of programmed cell death (PCD) genes.
Methods: Gene expression of root segments from four barley genotypes with and without RCS was evaluated using quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). The progression of RCS was manipulated with root zone ethylene and ethylene inhibitor applications.
Key Results: The results demonstrate that ethylene modulates RCS. Four genes related to ethylene synthesis and signalling were upregulated during RCS in optimal, low nitrogen and low phosphorus nutrient regimes. RCS was accelerated by root zone ethylene treatment, and this effect was reversed by an ethylene action inhibitor. Roots treated with exogenous ethylene had 35 and 46 % more cortical senescence compared with the control aeration treatment in seminal and nodal roots, respectively. RCS was correlated with expression of two genes related to programmed cell death (PCD).
Conclusions: The development of RCS is similar to root cortical aerenchyma formation with respect to ethylene modulation of the PCD process.

This study applied Raman spectroscopy (RS) to ex vivo human cadaveric femoral mid-diaphysis cortical bone specimens ( = 118 donors; age range 21-101 years) to predict fracture toughness properties via machine learning (ML) models. Spectral features, together with demographic variables (age, sex) and structural parameters (cortical porosity, volumetric bone mineral density), were fed into support vector regression (SVR), extreme tree regression (ETR), extreme gradient boosting (XGB), and ensemble models to predict fracture-toughness metrics such as crack-initiation toughness (K) and energy-to-fracture (J-integral). Feature selection was based on Raman-derived mineral and organic matrix parameters, such as νPhosphate (PO)/CH-wag, νPO/Amide I, and others, to capture the complex composition of bone.

Background: Dorsal root ganglion (DRG) pulsed radiofrequency (PRF) is a minimally invasive neuromodulation technique used for the management of chronic radicular pain. While its analgesic effects are well-documented, its impact on sensorimotor integration at the cortical level remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether DRG PRF modulates sensorimotor integration via the cholinergic system using the Short-Latency Afferent Inhibition (SAI) paradigm.

Introduction: Root dilaceration, a clinically significant developmental anomaly that can complicate dental treatment, has been attributed to various etiological factors, but the role of odontogenic lesions is still poorly understood. This observational study aimed to evaluate the relationship between odontogenic lesions and root dilaceration in impacted teeth.
Methods: The sample size consisted of 22 impacted teeth divided into two groups: with odontogenic lesions (Group IwL) and without lesions (Group IwoL).

Background: For orthodontists, the position of the incisors is a key factor in setting treatment goals. Achieving maximum stability requires that they be positioned in the medullary portion of the alveolar bone, balanced with the lingual and labial musculature. Incorrect orthodontic movements can result in root resorption, dehiscences, or even fenestrations.

Cementocytes reside in the cellular cementum of the apical tooth root and resemble bone osteocytes in their markers, lacunocanalicular network, and response to mineralization defects. However, it is unclear if cementocytes have a role in regulating cellular cementum similar to that of osteocytes in controlling bone formation and resorption. The Dmp1Cre-iDTR (Dmp1-DTR) mouse sensitizes -expressing cells, including osteocytes and cementocytes, to diphtheria toxin (DT), allowing selective ablation of cell populations.
