Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in solid organ transplant (SOT) and hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients may increase the risk of rejection or allograft dysfunction, other infection(s), and morbidity and mortality. Treatment can be challenging due to medication-associated toxicities. Maribavir (MBV) is a promising option for the treatment of resistant or refractory (R/R) CMV infection in lieu of foscarnet (FOS), which has long been the recommended therapy for (val)ganciclovir-resistant infection.

The treatment of articular cartilage damage has always represented a problem of considerable practical interest for orthopedics. Over the years, many surgical techniques have been proposed to induce the growth of repairing tissue and limit degeneration. In 1994, the turning point occurred: implanted autologous cells paved the way for a new treatment option based more on regeneration than repair.

Background: Obesity and related metabolic disorders have reached epidemic levels, calling for diverse therapeutic strategies. Altering nutrient intake, timing and quantity by intermittent fasting seems to elicit beneficial health effects by modulating endocrine and cell signaling networks. This study explores the impact of cyclic nutrient availability in the form of every-other-day fasting (EODF) on human adipose stem cells (ASCs).

Wnt (wingless-type MMTV integration site family) signaling is an evolutionary conserved system highly active during embryogenesis, but in adult hearts has low activities under normal conditions. It is essential for a variety of physiological processes including stem cell regeneration, proliferation, migration, cell polarity, and morphogenesis, thereby ensuring homeostasis and regeneration of cardiac tissue. Its dysregulation and excessive activation during pathological conditions leads to morphological and functional changes in the heart resulting in impaired myocardial regeneration under pathological conditions such as myocardial infarction, heart failure, and coronary artery disease.

G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) have emerged as critical regulators of bone development and remodeling. In this study, we aimed to identify specific GPCR mutations in osteoporotic patients via next-generation sequencing (NGS). We performed NGS sequencing of six genomic DNA samples taken from osteoporotic patients and two genomic DNA samples from healthy donors.
