Article Synopsis
  • New therapeutic approaches are needed for liver cirrhosis, and mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) are being explored for their potential in regenerative medicine.
  • Researchers isolated EVs from various MSC sources and engineered them to carry therapeutic factors like insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1).
  • The study found that EVs from these sources demonstrated similar antifibrotic properties, with those carrying IGF-1 showing enhanced therapeutic effects, indicating their promise as a scalable treatment for liver fibrosis.

The objective of this study is to describe the relationships between grandchildren and their favourite grandparents, by studying the socialization styles used by latter and the shared activities undertaken. The participants were 360 children between 10 and 12 years old, who completed the grandparent-grandchild relationship questionnaire of Rico, Serra and Viguer (2001) and the socialization questionnaire of Rey and Ruiz (1990).
