Despite the availability of a highly efficacious vaccine, a global resurgence of measles infections has occurred, largely due to decreased vaccination coverage and waning immunity following the two-dose vaccination schedule. This study aims to assess the cellular immune response in individuals who did not respond to the two-dose MMR vaccine and evaluate the efficacy and durability of immune responses after booster doses. An observational study was conducted involving 24 individuals who were seronegative for measles years after completing the two-dose MMR vaccine schedule.

Therapies based on mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have become one of the most significant advancements in veterinary regenerative medicine. The isolation of MSCs is usually performed by enzymatic digestion and requires variable times for cell expansion. In addition, these procedures need to be performed in specialized laboratory facilities.

The present study examined the longitudinal relations among work self-efficacy beliefs, job performance and career success, defined as objective career advancements. We argued that job performance would mediate both the influence of worker's self-efficacy beliefs on career success and the influence of career success on subsequent self-efficacy beliefs. The participants were 976 employees of one of the largest companies in Italy, assessed at three time points (i.

Article Synopsis
  • Pleural mesothelioma (PM) is a rare cancer closely associated with asbestos exposure, currently lacking effective treatment options, leading to a poor prognosis.
  • The study explores using mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) to deliver the chemotherapy drug Paclitaxel (PTX) directly to the pleural cavity, aiming to enhance drug concentration at the tumor site while reducing side effects.
  • The PACLIMES trial assesses the safety and toxicity of this local PTX administration in patients eligible for surgery, with a goal to identify the effective dose for future studies and evaluate its anti-tumor effects.
