Effects of Nanofat and PRP on Type I Collagen Production in Striae Distensae: Preliminary Findings from a Prospective, Randomized Single-Blind Study.

Introduction: Striae distensae (SD) appear clinically as parallel striae, lying perpendicular to the tension lines of the skin. SD evolve into two clinical phases, an initial inflammatory phase in which they are called "striae rubrae" (SR) and a chronic phase in which they are called striae albae (SA). This study investigates the synergistic effect of nanofat and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections on collagen production in fibroblasts derived from SA (SAF).

Mott Transition for a Lieb-Liniger Gas in a Shallow Quasiperiodic Potential: Delocalization Induced by Disorder.

Disorder or quasidisorder is known to favor localization in many-body Bose systems. Here, in contrast, we demonstrate an anomalous delocalization effect induced by incommensurability in quasiperiodic lattices. Loading ultracold atoms in two shallow periodic lattices with equal amplitude and either equal or incommensurate spatial periods, we show the onset of a Mott transition not only in the periodic case but also in the quasiperiodic case.

Translational characterization of immune pathways in inflammatory bowel disease: insights for targeted treatments.

Introduction: The pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) involves the dysregulation of multiple inflammatory pathways. The understanding of these mechanisms allows their selective targeting for therapeutic purposes. The discovery of Tumor Necrosis Factor-alpha's (TNF-α) role in mucosal inflammation ushered an exciting new era of drug development which now comprises agents targeting multiple pro-inflammatory signaling pathways, integrins, and leukocyte trafficking regulators.

Powdery mildew caused by Erysiphe corylacearum: An emerging problem on hazelnut in Italy.

Erysiphe corylacearum has recently been reported in northern Italy (Piedmont) and other European countries as the causal agent of a new emerging powdery mildew on hazelnut. This disease is much more dangerous than the common hazelnut powdery mildew caused by Phyllactinia guttata as it significantly reduces yield and quality of hazelnuts. This study aimed to perform morphological and molecular characterization of the fungal isolates from powdery mildew-infected plants in the Piedmont Italian region.

Rapid and specific detection of wheat spindle streak mosaic virus using RT-LAMP in durum wheat crude leaf extract.

To accurately determine the spread of any pathogen, including plant viruses, a quick, sensitive, cost-effective, point-of-care diagnostic assay is necessary. Wheat spindle streak mosaic virus (WSSMV) is a Bymovirus, transmitted by the plasmodiophorid Polymyxa graminis Led, which causes yellow mosaic and reduces the grain yield in wheat. Currently, detection protocols for WSSMV use ELISA or more sensitive PCR-based approaches requiring specialized laboratory and personnel.
