Purpose: This study assessed the impact of the buccal bone on hard and soft tissues in submerged and non-submerged immediate implants using a minipig model.

Methods: Sixty-five titanium implants (Camlog Progressive Line) were placed in four minipigs immediately after tooth extraction. All non-submerged (NSM) implants received a mechanically induced buccal bone defect (NSM-BD), whereas the submerged group (SM) was classified as defective (SM-BD) and intact (SM-BI).

Pancreatic panniculitis (PP) and arthritis may be extrapancreatic manifestations of pancreatic disease. The triad of pancreatic disease, panniculitis and polyarthritis, described in the literature as the PPP syndrome, is sometimes observed in patients with acute or chronic pancreatitis, pancreatic cancer or neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). We present a 60-year-old man with polyarthritis and clinically aggressive PP of the limbs.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is characterized by high mortality rates due to late diagnosis, recurrence, and metastasis. Here, we show that extracellular signaling molecules secreted by adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ASCs) and OC cells-either in the conditioned medium (CM) or within small extracellular vesicles (sEVs)-modulate cellular responses and drive OC progression. ASC-derived sEVs and CM secretome promoted OC cell colony formation, invasion, and migration while upregulating tumor-associated signaling pathways, including TGFβ/Smad, p38MAPK/ERK1/2, Wnt/β-catenin, and MMP-9.
