Juvenile hyaline fibromatosis is a recessive autosomal hereditary disorder characterized by abnormal growth of hyalinized fibrous tissue. Its clinical presentation is marked by tumors of the skin, bone lesions, joint contractures, and gingival hyperplasia. We report a localized form of juvenile hyaline fibromatosis, a rare disease with several cases reported in the worldwide literature. A 23-year-old man presented with multiple tumors, joint contractures, and osteolytic bone lesions, but without gingival hyperplasia in one year of follow-up. Although, the onset of this condition is commonly in early childhood with progression, his unusual clinical presentation began at eight years of age with late progression in adolescence.

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.
