Many years ago, I wrote a sciencey Valentine's day post.
Here tis.

It's really really old. I'm getting that way.

I'm excited to share our latest research on #3Dprinting PLA/CaP scaffolds, highlighting their impact on #angiogenesis and vessel maturation for better #boneregeneration. We evidence how controlled geometry, porosity, and calcium release make a difference. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bioadv.2024.213985

Combining three-dimensionality and CaP glass-PLA composites: Towards an efficient vascularization in bone tissue healing

Bone regeneration often fails due to implants/grafts lacking vascular supply, causing necrotic tissue and poor integration. Microsurgical techniques a…

Melatonin and Cancer: New Insights

Melatonin is a ubiquitous molecule on the phylogenetic scale, and cancer genes, inherent to the coexistence and cooperation between cells, appeared with multicellularity in ancestral metazoans. It is not surprising that the functional network of the indoleamine...

Taking dietary supplements full of antioxidants could actually help cancerous tumors grow

While scientists state that natural levels of antioxidants in food are safe, taking supplements containing antioxidants could fuel tumor growth and allow the disease to spread faster.
