- Recent studies highlight histatins, a group of salivary peptides, as effective agents in promoting wound healing in various tissues, notably skin, oral mucosal, and bone.
- Histatin-1, in particular, is recognized for its ability to enhance angiogenesis by facilitating endothelial cell functions, making it a key player in regenerative medicine.
- Despite promising therapeutic potential, there is still a lack of understanding regarding the precise molecular mechanisms through which histatin-1 induces these effects, underscoring the need for further research in this area.
In the climate-vulnerable Mediterranean basin, the severity and frequency of disturbances such as windthrows, droughts and fires are intensifying. Forests are generally resilient, but struggle to adapt to abrupt changes, which can impact their functionality and service provision. Various forest management alternatives aim to reduce forest vulnerability to disturbances, but few studies have evaluated the impact of management alternatives on multiple disturbances and service provision simultaneously.

Background: Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) and endocardial resynchronization (Endo-CRT) are alternatives to biventricular pacing for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).
Objective: To compare the outcomes of LBBAP versus Endo-CRT using conventional pacing leads.
Methods: Patients with heart failure (HF) undergoing CRT with LBBAP or Endo-CRT were included.
