Abstract
In the current issue of the Biomedical Journal we gain an insight into the regeneration of liver tissue and how an over-the-counter supplement, stem cells and two plant extracts counteract liver damage. Furthermore the advances against hepatitis C virus are presented, the role of long non-coding RNA elucidated as well as the potential of an adhesion G protein-coupled receptor. In another contribution, the definition and evolutionary impact of copy number variants is clarified. Also, the polymorphism of a scaffolding caspase is investigated. We furthermore learn about the relation between SARS-CoV2 mutants in dependence of geography and explore the challenges of telemedicine in a complex healthcare field. A novel approach to engineering artificial grafts is presented, the challenges of total knee arthroplasty discussed as well as a possible mean of sinus floor elevation for dental implants. At last the concept of flipped classroom is scrutinized in terms of usefulness for a hospital in Taiwan.
