Juvenile hyaline fibromatosis (JHF) is a rare, autosomally-recessive disease characterized by papulonodular skin lesions, soft tissue masses, joint contractures, gingival hypertrophy and osteolytic bone lesions. Its onset is in infancy or early childhood. The most commonly affected sites are the nose, chin, ears, scalp, back and knees. The accumulation of an amorphous, hyaline material is typical in the skin and the other organs. Herein, we report a 14-month-old boy who presented with confluent pink papules on the paranasal folds and the chin, and nodular lesions on the periauricular and perianal regions. He had gingival hypertrophy and contractures of the shoulders, knees and elbows. He also had third-degree consanguineous parents. Histopathological studies confirmed the diagnosis of JHF with the presence of increased numbers of fibroblasts embedded in a hyalinized connective tissue stroma.

Article Synopsis
- Soil and root samples were taken from bamboo plots in Georgia over three years to monitor plant-parasitic nematodes; discoloration and stunted growth were observed in roots despite no visible symptoms aboveground.
- Cyst nematodes (Heterodera spp.) were detected with varying population densities across the years, confirming their presence through the transplantation of healthy bamboo into infested soil, which resulted in young cysts forming in the roots after three months.
- Detailed morphological and molecular analyses identified the nematode species, providing specific measurements and descriptions of the second-stage juveniles and cysts, indicating their characteristics such as body shape, size, and coloration.

Osteoarthritis, a degenerative disease of articular cartilage and the leading cause of disability, is preceded by acute cartilage injury in a significant proportion of cases. Current auto- and allograft interventions are limited by supply and variability in therapeutic efficacy, prompting interest in tissue engineering solutions. Cell sheet tissue engineering, a scaffold-free regenerative technique, has shown promise in preclinical and clinical trials across various cell types and diseases.
