Objective: to describe the experience of building the technology "Care for the prevention of COVID-19 in post-hematopoietic stem cell transplant patients".
Methods: experience report conducted in a hematopoietic stem cell transplant outpatient clinic that supported the construction of an educational technology in the form of a booklet for the prevention of COVID-19. In May 2020, a literature review in scientific databases and guidelines of health organizations were used for its development.
Results: printed booklet with information on the definition of coronavirus, hand hygiene, use of the mask by the patient and caregiver, isolation and social distancing and general hygiene care.
Final Considerations: the use of technologies is characterized as a tool for educational actions therefore, nurses, patients and caregivers benefit from guidance processes for health care. The developed technology has the potential to minimize the impact and spread of SARS-CoV-2 among high-risk populations.

Lactate accumulation promotes immunosuppression and fibrotic transformation of bone marrow microenvironment in myelofibrosis.
J Transl Med
January 2025
Department of Biomedical and Biotechnological Sciences, Division of Medical Biochemistry, University of Catania, Catania, Italy.
Background: Clonal myeloproliferation and fibrotic transformation of the bone marrow (BM) are the pathogenetic events most commonly occurring in myelofibrosis (MF). There is great evidence indicating that tumor microenvironment is characterized by high lactate levels, acting not only as an energetic source, but also as a signaling molecule.
Methods: To test the involvement of lactate in MF milieu transformation, we measured its levels in MF patients' sera, eventually finding a massive accumulation of this metabolite, which we showed to promote the expansion of immunosuppressive subsets.
Evaluation of a biomarker for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis derived from a hypomethylated DNA signature of human motor neurons.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) lacks a specific biomarker, but is defined by relatively selective toxicity to motor neurons (MN). As others have highlighted, this offers an opportunity to develop a sensitive and specific biomarker based on detection of DNA released from dying MN within accessible biofluids. Here we have performed whole genome bisulfite sequencing (WGBS) of iPSC-derived MN from neurologically normal individuals.

Exploring the differences in traits and genes between brown cotton and white cotton hybrid offspring (Gossypium hirsutum L.).

Brown cotton and white cotton are two important raw materials used in the cotton fiber industry. Clarifying the differences in morphology, agronomic traits, and fiber pigments between these varieties can facilitate the implementation of corresponding cultivation and breeding techniques. Therefore, we obtained F generation brown cotton plants through hybridization and compared them with their parents.

Adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) are crucially involved in various biological processes because of their self-renewal, multi-differentiation, and immunomodulatory activities. Some ADSC's characteristics have been associated with the basic theory of Chinese medicine (CM), especially the Meridian theory. CM can improve the biological properties of ADSCs to facilitate their use in injury treatment, restore immune homeostasis, and inhibit inflammatory responses.
