A prospective, open label, multicenter, postmarket study evaluating Princess VOLUME Lidocaine for the correction of nasolabial folds.

The aim of this study was to investigate the safety and performance of Princess VOLUME Lidocaine in nasolabial fold correction. In this prospective, open label, multicenter, postmarket study subjects received injections of Princess VOLUME Lidocaine into both NLF at Baseline (Day 0) and if considered necessary by the investigator, at Week 2 (touch-up treatment). This study was conducted in Austria at the Department of Dermatology and Venereology, Medical University of Graz, at the medical aesthetic center MÄZ WIEN, and at the medical aesthetic center Ordination Dr.

Safety And Efficacy Of Princess FILLER Lidocaine In The Correction Of Nasolabial Folds.

Purpose: Nasolabial folds (NLFs) are one of the most noticeable signs of facial aging. NLFs negatively affect self-confidence and social acceptance often leading to a person's desire to improve their appearance using dermal fillers. The hyaluronic acid injectable gel implant Princess FILLER Lidocaine (PFL) is a minimally invasive easy to administer the product.

Sheep Placenta Cotyledons: A Noninvasive Source of Ovine Mesenchymal Stem Cells.

Sheep are one of the most frequently used large animal models in stem cell research. However, minimal invasive or noninvasive sources of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in sheep are scarce. In the light of the principles of the 3Rs (reduce, refine, replace), it would therefore be desirable to identify a minimally invasive or noninvasive ovine MSC source.

Identification of an indispensable role for tyrosine kinase 2 in CTL-mediated tumor surveillance.

We showed previously that Tyk2(-/-) natural killer cells lack the ability to lyse leukemic cells. As a consequence, the animals are leukemia prone. Here, we show that the impaired tumor surveillance extends to T cells.

Autocrine IL-10 partially prevents differentiation of neonatal dendritic epidermal leukocytes into Langerhans cells.

To test whether reduced immune responsiveness in early life may be related to the immaturity of neonatal antigen-presenting cells, we comparatively assessed the phenotypic and functional characteristics of dendritic epidermal leukocytes (DEL) and epidermal Langerhans cells (LC) in newborn (NB) and adult mice, respectively. We report that purified, 3-day-cultured DEL do not acquire the morphology and phenotype typical of LC and are significantly weaker stimulators of naive, allogeneic CD4+ and CD8+ T cells than LC. Freshly isolated DEL are twice as efficient as LC in the uptake of fluorescein isothiocyanate-conjugated tracers but are not able to present these to antigen-specific T cell hybridomas.

Ontogeny of Langerin/CD207 expression in the epidermis of mice.

C-type lectin receptors help Langerhans cells (LC) to take up and process pathogens. Langerin/CD207 is a mannose-binding C-type lectin that is specifically expressed by LC. It is involved in antigen uptake in an as yet poorly defined way, and it is a major molecular constituent of Birbeck granules.
