Aldosterone is a steroid hormone playing a key role in arterial hypertension physiopathology. In case of inappropriate secretion, it has a detrimental action on the kidney and cardiovascular system and therefore constitutes an interesting therapeutic target for several diseases. Recent progress allowed to expand the therapeutic arsenal for physician practitioner and new promising drugs will probably appear on the market the next few years. Hence, physicians should know the indications and side effects of these new treatments.

Introduction: Laryngeal chondrosarcoma (CS) is a rare indolent malignant tumor. High-grade (G3), dedifferentiated (DD), and myxoid (MY) CSs are considered more aggressive subtypes due to their metastatic potential and relatively poor outcomes. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate treatment modalities and survival outcomes in patients affected by these rarer CS subtypes.

The amount of CD34 cells has been for decades the most important marker of autologous graft quality, but other graft cells, including various lymphocyte subsets, have gained some interest. This review attempts to summarize what is known about autograft cellular composition regarding post-transplant outcomes. The amount of CD34 cells in the graft is associated with tempo of platelet recovery.

Cellular and gene therapy (CGT) products have emerged as a popular approach in regenerative medicine, showing promise in treating various pancreatic and liver diseases in numerous clinical trials. Before these therapies can be tested in human clinical trials, it is essential to evaluate their safety and efficacy in relevant animal models. Such preclinical testing is often required to obtain regulatory approval for investigational new drugs.

Background Aims: Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have gained traction as potential cell-free therapeutic candidates. Development of purification methods that are scalable and robust is a major focus of EV research. Yet there is still little in the literature that evaluates purification methods against potency of the EV product.
