A Novel Laboratory-Based Strategy for Single Adipocyte and Adipose-Derived Stem Cells Extraction for Transplantation: An Experimental Research.

Background: Autologous fat grafting is widely used in plastic surgery. However, its main limitation is the low survival rate of fat grafts after transplantation. Transplantation of single adipocytes in combination with adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) could largely preserve the activity of the fat and improve graft survival.

The impact of merkel cell polyomavirus positivity on prognosis of merkel cell carcinoma: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: There are numerous findings over the past decade have indicated that Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) may have two pathways of pathogenesis: one related to ultraviolet irradiation and the other to the Merkel cell polyomavirus (MCPyV). However, the predictive and clinicopathological value of MCPyV positivity in MCC patients is still debatable. This article aims to examine the most recent data regarding this issue.
