- * Researchers identified 13 distinct fibroblast subpopulations, noting an increase in five subpopulations linked to more severe skin fibrosis and a decrease in three associated with milder fibrosis.
- * The findings suggest that certain fibroblast subpopulations, such as S1PR and PI16;FAP-fibroblasts, could serve as potential targets for treatment and may help in assessing the severity of skin fibrosis in patients with SSc.

Introduction: Between 2021 and 2023, a project was funded in order to explore the mortality burden (YLL-Years of Life Lost, excess mortality) of COVID-19 in Southern and Eastern Europe, and Central Asia.
Methods: For each national or sub-national region, data on COVID-19 deaths and population data were collected for the period March 2020 to December 2021. Unstandardized and age-standardised YLL rates were calculated according to standard burden of disease methodology.
