The 3D structure of native human skin is fundamental for studying skin health, diseases, wound healing, and for testing the safety of skin care products, as well as personalized treatments for skin conditions. Tissue regeneration, driven by tissue engineering, often involves creating full-thickness skin equivalents (FSE), which are widely used for developing both healthy and diseased skin models. In this study, we utilized human skin cell lines to create FSE.

Objective: Subclinical atherosclerosis (SA) is often observed in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients; Salusin-α (Sal-α), Salusin-β (Sal-β), and Klotho hormones are thought to be associated with atherosclerosis. This study aims to evaluate the relationship between Sal-α, Sal-β, and Klotho levels with SA in AS.
Patients And Methods: The study included patients older than 18 years who applied between August 1, 2019, and September 1, 2019.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the incidence and severity of COVID-19 among patients receiving home parenteral nutrition (HPN) for chronic intestinal failure over a year-long observation period from March 2020 to March 2021.
- Out of 4680 patients from 68 centers across 23 countries, the cumulative incidence of COVID-19 infection was 9.6%, with 55.1% of patients providing COVID-related data, revealing varying rates of infection severity.
- Results indicated a higher incidence and severity of infection among deceased patients, and significant proportions of the cohort were unvaccinated or had unknown vaccination statuses; 42.8% of deaths in infected individuals were attributed to COVID-19.
Background: Nutritional therapy remains a key tool for prevention and management of gestational diabetes (GDM). Carbohydrate type and absorption rate rather than the carbohydrate amount have more impact on postprandial glucose (PPG) levels in GDM. The effect of refined white bread and whole grain sourdough bread on glycemic indexes were compared in GDM patients.

Previous genetic studies identified one locus to be involved in classic bladder exstrophy, but were limited to a restrict number of cohort. Here we show the largest classic bladder exstrophy genome-wide association analysis to date where we identify eight genome-wide significant loci, seven of which are novel.
