Angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels, is a fundamental process in both physiological repair mechanisms and pathological conditions, including cancer and chronic inflammation. Hydrogels are commonly used as in vitro models to mimic the extracellular matrix (ECM) and support endothelial cell behavior during angiogenesis. Mesenchymal stem cells further augment cell and tissue growth and are therefore widely used in regenerative medicine.

Purpose: To generate consensus and provide expert clinical practice statements for the management of adult sepsis in resource-limited settings.
Methods: An international multidisciplinary Steering Committee with expertise in sepsis management and including a Delphi methodologist was convened by the Asia Pacific Sepsis Alliance (APSA). The committee selected an international panel of clinicians and researchers with expertise in sepsis management.

Cardiac catheterization (CC) is essential for the diagnosis of pulmonary hypertension (PH), and for its characterisation. It allows distinction between pre- and post-capillary PH which, when integrated with other non-invasive data, facilitates classification into one of the 5 diagnostic groups defined by international PH guidelines. CC also provides valuable information for the risk stratification of patients with PH, guiding management and the type and intensity of treatment.

Objectives: To investigate nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) abnormalities in mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD).
Methods: Patients with MCTD followed at the Rheumatology Department in Cochin Hospital (Paris, France) were identified based on individual record review. Diagnosis of MCTD required fulfillment of one of the three sets of classification criteria.

Acute lung injury (ALI) and its severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), result from pulmonary edema and alveolar-capillary barrier disruption due to inflammation, often triggered by conditions like sepsis. Sepsis-induced ALI (SALI) involves extensive damage to vascular endothelium and alveolar epithelium, leading to respiratory failure. Our study explores ferroptosis, an iron-dependent cell death pathway, and calcium dysregulation in SALI.
