Background: Damage to the peripheral nerve significantly impairs quality and way of life. Despite the slow self-regeneration of the peripheral nervous system and advances in surgery, complete recovery after nerve injury remains elusive especially when there is loss of substance. Human olfactory ecto-mesenchymal stem cells (OEMSC) have potential for the treatment of peripheral nerve injury through the secretion of bioactive fac...

The Southern Ocean is a productive and biodiverse region, but it is also threatened by anthropogenic pressures. Protecting the Southern Ocean should start with well-informed Marine Ecosystem Assessments of the Southern Ocean (MEASO) being performed, a process that will require biodiversity data. In this context, open geospatial biodiversity databases such as OBIS and GBIF provide good avenues, through aggregated geo-referenced...

The known ruthenium complex [Ru(tpy)(bpy)(Hmte)](PF 6 ) 2 ([ 1 ](PF 6 ) 2 , where tpy = 2,2’:6’,2″-terpyridine, bpy = 2,2’-bipyridine, Hmte = 2-(methylthio)ethanol) is photosubstitutionally active but non-toxic to cancer cells even upon light irradiation. In this work, the two analogs complexes [Ru(tpy)(NN)(Hmte)](PF 6 ) 2 , where NN = 3,3'-biisoquinoline (i-biq, [ 2 ](PF 6 ) 2 ) and di(isoquinolin-3-yl)amine (i-Hdiqa, [ 3 ](P...
