Article Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxicity and osteogenic potential of three sealers, including a strontium silicate-based sealer, C-Root SP (C-R), and two calcium silicate-based sealers, iRoot SP (i-R) and AH Plus Bioceramic Sealer (AHPbcs), compared with AH Plus (AHP) on MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts.
Materials And Methods: Standardized sealer discs were eluted in a culture medium to assess cytotoxicity using the CCK-8 assay at various dilutions (1:1, 1:2, 1:5, and 1:10). Osteogenic differentiation was evaluated by culturing cells in osteogenic medium supplemented with 1:5 diluted sealer extract. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was assessed with an ALP assay and staining on days 7 and 14. Mineralized nodule formation was observed using Alizarin Red S staining on day 21. Gene expression of osteogenic markers (ALP, COL1A1, and RUNX2) was examined by RT-qPCR. Differences were analysed using one-way/two-way variance analysis with the Tukey post-hoc test. Statistical significance was established at P < .05.
Results: C-R, i-R, and AHPbcs showed significantly higher cell viability than AHP (P < .001). All sealers exhibited cytotoxicity at higher concentrations (1:1 and 1:2 dilutions). ALP activity was significantly lower in cells exposed to AHP compared to cells exposed to C-R, i-R, and AHPbcs (P < .01). Cells exposed to C-R, i-R, and AHPbcs exhibited higher mineralized nodule formation than cells exposed to AHP. C-R, i-R, and AHPbcs enhanced osteogenic differentiation with higher osteogenic gene expression than AHP (P < .001).
Conclusions: Within the limitations of the study, C-R, i-R, and AHPbcs were biocompatible with MC3T3-E1 pre-osteoblasts at lower concentrations and were able to enhance their osteogenic potentials.
Clinical Relevance: The strontium silicate-based sealer shows a favourable biological response and osteogenic activity in vitro, comparable to calcium silicate-based sealers, indicating its potential for clinical applications.

Phase I trial of ADP-A2AFP TCR T-cell therapy in patients with advanced hepatocellular or gastric hepatoid carcinoma.

Background & Aims: Patients with advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) generally experience poor outcomes despite current therapies; alternative treatments are needed. ADP-A2AFP is an investigational autologous T-cell therapy with an affinity-enhanced T-cell receptor (TCR) targeting alpha-fetoprotein (AFP).
Methods: We describe a phase I, open-label, first-in-human clinical trial of ADP-A2AFP (NCT03132792) in human leukocyte antigen-eligible participants with AFP-expressing HCC (or other tumor) not amenable to transplant/resection that progressed on, were intolerant to, or refused prior systemic therapy.
Whole-genome sequencing provides an unbiased and complete view of the human genome and enables the discovery of genetic variation without the technical limitations of other genotyping technologies. Here we report on whole-genome sequencing of 490,640 UK Biobank participants, building on previous genotyping effort. This advance deepens our understanding of how genetics associates with disease biology and further enhances the value of this open resource for the study of human biology and health.

Synthesizing data gathered from private and institutional Paleoamerican artifact collections over the last 50 years, this study examines the typological classification and spatial distributions of 375 fluted points from North Carolina. Clovis, Redstone, and Cumberland points are typologically characterized and differentiated. Landmark Geometric Morphometric (LGM) analyses suggest that North Carolina Clovis points are significantly different in shape than Western Clovis points, consistent with conclusions about continental Clovis variation.

Introduction: Temporal cortical microstructural changes precede cortical atrophy during memory decline. We used neurite orientation dispersion and density imaging (NODDI) to assess such early microstructural change.
Methods: Cognitively unimpaired (CU, n = 725) and mildly cognitively impaired (MCI, n = 111) participants from the Mayo Clinic Study of Aging underwent 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), including NODDI and neuropsychological evaluation for calculation of memory z scores.
