Metabolomics comparison of cord and peripheral blood-derived serum eye drops for the treatment of dry eye disease.

Allogeneic peripheral blood-derived (PBS) serum eye drops have been largely used in the treatment of dry eye disease (DED). Recently, cord blood has emerged as an effective alternative serum source (cord blood serum, CBS), containing a higher amount of growth factors than PBS, it holds the promise of a better capability to stimulate corneal healing. However, the lack of a standardized method for preparation, dispensation, storage and a poor biochemical characterization still hamper the establishment of a clinical consensus.

Cellular and Molecular Targets of Resveratrol on Lymphoma and Leukemia Cells.

Resveratrol (RSV) is a well known chemopreventive molecule featuring anti-cancer properties. Our paper describes the main molecular targets of RSV linked to its antiproliferative activity on lymphoma and leukemia experimental models. It discusses further the most recent and most promising among these molecular targets for a translational application.
