Transcriptomic Profiling of Pleural Effusions: Differences in Malignant and Infectious Fluids.

: Different cellular and molecular processes are involved in the production of malignant and infectious pleural effusions. However, the underlying mechanisms responsible for these differences or their consequences remain incompletely understood. The objective of this study was to identify differences in gene expression in pleural exudates of malignant and infectious aetiology and establish the possible different biological processes involved in both situations.

Experience With a Non-Hormonal Centella Asiatica, Hyaluronic Acid and Prebiotic-Based Vaginal Gel in Women With Recurrent Vulvovaginal Candidiasis: Case Studies.

Recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC) affects millions of women worldwide, severely impairing their quality of life. Despite the existence of multiple induction and maintenance therapeutic strategies, mainly based on antifungals, relapse rates are still high. Palomacare is a vaginal gel containing, among others, hyaluronic acid and , with repairing and moisturizing properties.

First evaluation of the anxiolytic-like effects of a bromazepam‑palladium complex in mice.

A significant fraction of patients are affected by persistent fear and anxiety. Currently, there are several anxiolytic drug options, however their clinical outcomes do not fully manage the symptoms. Here, we evaluated the effects of a bromazepam‑palladium derivative [2-{(7-bromo-2-oxo-1,3-dihydro-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-5-il)pyridinyl-κ-N,N}chloropalladium(II)], [(BMZ)PdCl], on fear/anxiety and memory-related behavior in mice.

Motor neuron-derived induced pluripotent stem cells as a drug screening platform for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

The development of cell culture models that recapitulate the etiology and features of nervous system diseases is central to the discovery of new drugs and their translation onto therapies. Neuronal tissues are inaccessible due to skeletal constraints and the invasiveness of the procedure to obtain them. Thus, the emergence of induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) technology offers the opportunity to model different neuronal pathologies.
