Background: A recent study highlighted variability in complication rates among polylactic acid (PLA)-based collagen stimulator fillers, with notably high rate of complications linked to PLLA-Elleva. The study suggested that product-specific characteristics might have greater impact on outcomes than injection techniques.
Methods/results: Through a critical analysis of pertinent literature, this commentary explores how PLLA-Elleva's unique physicochemical properties, particularly its bimodal degradation process, may contribute to the increased nodule formation observed.
Conclusion: Although PLLA-Elleva's degradation pattern does not inherently compromise safety, it introduces variability that requires careful attention to dosage, injection technique, and patient selection.

Breast cancer is the most frequently diagnosed cancer worldwide. The treatment options for breast cancer can cause side effects and adversely impact quality of life. Side effects, including fatigue, pain, cognitive changes, and psychosocial complications, can be life altering and continue beyond treatment into survivorship.

Multiple myeloma (MM), a hematologic malignancy characterized by the clonal expansion of plasma cells within the bone marrow, is associated with severe health complications, including osteolytic bone lesions that significantly increase the risk of fractures, leading to higher morbidity and mortality rates. One intriguing protein in this context is the RNA polymerase binding factor Che-1/AATF (Che-1), which has emerged as a potential player in the survival and proliferation of myeloma cells. Hippo pathway has been shown to be an important mediator of oncogenesis in solid tumors, especially for its role in shaping a tumor microenvironment favorable to cancer maintenance and spread.
