Article Synopsis
- Facial aging leads to a rise in the demand for rejuvenation treatments, and adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have potential, but there’s a lack of comparative studies on their application methods.
- This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of ADSCs combined with microneedling versus CO laser for facial rejuvenation among 27 participants using a split-face treatment design.
- Results showed that CO laser with ADSCs significantly improved UV spots and wrinkles more than microneedling, with higher patient satisfaction and better histological outcomes in the CO laser group, indicating it may be the superior option for facial rejuvenation.*
Hyaline cartilage is a highly specialized tissue. When injured, its repair capacity is low, which results in the massive destruction of the articular surface. Using tissue engineering and genetic engineering techniques, it is possible to provide a suitable microenvironment providing chondrocyte growth factors involved in the development of hyaline cartilage proteins, as well as cell proliferation and differentiation.

We aimed to evaluate the in vitro response of human articular chondrocytes to the presence of the combination of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and rhein.
Methods: Solutions of rhein were prepared to assess solubility and select a working concentration.
Purpose: This study aims to develop and evaluate a cost-effective, user-friendly multiplex quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) method for detecting multiple tick-borne pathogens associated with human and veterinary diseases.
Methods: In silico PCR was performed to design and evaluate primer sequences reported for amplifying Rickettsia spp., Borrelia spp.
