Article Abstract
Introduction: Temporomandibular disorders (TMD) are a group of orofacial conditions characterized by pain and dysfunction of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and surrounding musculature. Imaging plays a crucial role in diagnosis and treatment planning. However, educational content on TMD imaging in medical and dental curricula has lagged behind recent technological advances.
Methods: This review analyzes the current status of TMD imaging education based on a synthesis of literature and educational practices. It highlights discrepancies across institutional curricula and evaluates emerging strategies such as interdisciplinary learning, artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted tools, and simulation-based training.
Results: TMD imaging education is found to be inconsistent and underdeveloped globally, with significant variability in curriculum design and limited integration of modern imaging technologies. Current training programs lack standardized guidelines, resulting in knowledge gaps and increased risk of clinical misjudgment. Early findings suggest that AI and simulation tools can enhance educational outcomes.
Discussion: To bridge the gap between clinical practice and technology, a standardized, evidence-based educational framework is essential. Future strategies should include interprofessional collaboration, AI-driven diagnostic support, and immersive simulation environments. Implementing these measures will enable clinicians to accurately interpret TMD imaging and improve patient care.

To assess the efficacy of a mixed-dimensional van der Waals (vdW) heterostructure in modulating the optoelectronic responses of nanodevices, the charge transport properties of the transition-metal dichalcogenide (TMD)-based heterostructure comprising zero-dimensional (0D) WS quantum dots (QDs) and two-dimensional (2D) MoS flakes are critically analyzed. Herein, a facile strategy was materialized in developing an atomically thin phototransistor assembled from mechanically exfoliated MoS and WS QDs synthesized using a one-pot hydrothermal route. The amalgamated photodetectors exhibited a high responsivity of ∼8000 A/W at an incident power of 0.

Advancing both the fundamental understanding and technological application of two-dimensional semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) hinges on precise control and identification of atomic-scale defects. Although self-flux growth yields exceptionally pure TMD crystals, the nature of residual defects has remained an open question. Here, we use scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to directly image and identify point defects in both monolayer and bulk self-flux grown WSe.

Pompe disease (PD) is a multisystemic progressive disease caused by acid-alpha glucosidase (GAA) deficiency. Patients display a spectrum of phenotypes ranging from the severe, rapidly progressive infantile-onset PD (IOPD) form to the slower progressing late-onset PD (LOPD). Enzyme replacement therapies (ERTs) are the only approved treatments; they decrease mortality in IOPD while maintaining or improving motor and respiratory function in LOPD.

Background: With advancements in computer technology, digital mandibular repositioning techniques are increasingly utilised in the management of temporomandibular disorders (TMDs). This study aimed to compare the differences in joint structure restoration between traditional and digital articulation techniques.
Methods: Two groups of patients with TMD (40 in each group) received traditional or digital articulation.

Centrosomes play a fundamental role in nucleating and organizing microtubules in the cell and are vital for faithful chromosome segregation and maintenance of genomic stability. Loss of structural or functional integrity of centrosomes causes genomic instability and is a driver of oncogenesis. Here we identify lysine demethylase 4A (KDM4A), an epigenetic 'eraser' of chromatin methyl marks, as a centrosome-localized protein, visualized at the nanometer-scale resolution.
