Older adults’ reasons for applying to a nursing home – a document analysis by Lisa Spang, Kajsa Lidström-Holmqvist, Marie Holmefur, Cecilia Pettersson

“…Background Ageing in place is the social norm in Sweden, yet older adults apply for a nursing home on a daily basis which suggests that ageing in place needs further study as it is not suitable for everyone. Aim: to study descriptions of older adults’ reasons for applying to a nursing home in documents of granted nursing home decisions.Materials and methods One hundred and sixty decisions were analyzed through document analysis with a deductive content analysis using the Canadian Model of Occupational Performance-Engagement (CMOP-E) as a framework.Results Reasons for applying were represented in the three factors of the CMOP-E. …”

Transforming Growth Factor Beta Family: Insight into the Role of Growth Factors in Regulation of Fracture Healing Biology and Potential Clinical Applications by Łukasz A. Poniatowski, Piotr Wojdasiewicz, Robert Gasik, Dariusz Szukiewicz

“…By breaking the continuity of bone tissue, a spread-over-time and complex bone healing process is initiated, considered a recapitulation of embryonic intracartilaginous ossification. This process is a cascade of local and systemic phenomena spread over time, involving whole cell lineages and various cytokines and growth factors. …”

Neurally Derived Tissues in Xenopus laevis Embryos Exhibit a Consistent Bioelectrical Left-Right Asymmetry by Vaibhav P. Pai, Laura N. Vandenberg, Douglas Blackiston, Michael Levin

“…Consistent left-right asymmetry in organ morphogenesis is a fascinating aspect of bilaterian development. Although embryonic patterning of asymmetric viscera, heart, and brain is beginning to be understood, less is known about possible subtle asymmetries present in anatomically identical paired structures. …”

Novel Action of FSH on Stem Cells in Adult Mammalian Ovary Induces Postnatal Oogenesis and Primordial Follicle Assembly by Deepa Bhartiya, Seema Parte, Hiren Patel, Kalpana Sriraman, Kusum Zaveri, Indira Hinduja

“…Stem cells comprise two distinct populations including spherical, very small embryonic-like stem cells (VSELs which express nuclear OCT-4 and other pluripotent and primordial germ cells specific markers) and slightly bigger ovarian germ stem cells (OGSCs with cytoplasmic OCT-4 which are equivalent to spermatogonial stem cells in the testes). …”

Dental Mesenchymal Stem/Stromal Cells and Their Exosomes by Peter Stanko, Ursula Altanerova, Jana Jakubechova, Vanda Repiska, Cestmir Altaner

“…Stem cells derived from human dental pulp tissue (DP-MSC) differ from the other mesenchymal stem cells prepared from bone marrow or adipose tissue due to their embryonic origin from the neural crest and are of special interest because of their neurotropic character. …”
