Research Progress on Biomaterials for Spinal Cord Repair by Liao Z, Bao Q, Saijilahu, Chimedtseren C, Tumurbaatar K, Saijilafu

“…In addition, combined or synergistic effects of spinal cord repair can be achieved by integrating different strategies, including the use of various biomaterials and microstructures, as well as combining bioactive molecules and living cells. Therefore, it is possible to use tissue engineering scaffolds to regulate the local microenvironment of the injured spinal cord, which may achieve better functional recovery in spinal cord injury repair. …”

Idiosyncratic gesture use in a mother-infant dyad in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) in the wild by Bas van Boekholt, Isabelle Clark, Nicole J. Lahiff, Kevin C. Lee, Katie E. Slocombe, Claudia Wilke, Simone Pika

“…These differ in their predictions regarding idiosyncratic gestures, making such occurrences a crucial area of investigation. Here, we describe a novel and potential idiosyncratic behaviour — ‘hand-on-eye’ — which was initially observed in one mother-infant dyad in a community of chimpanzees living in the wild. …”
