Periodontitis is a chronic inflammatory disease that destroys tooth-supporting structures and poses significant public health challenges due to its high prevalence and links to systemic health conditions. Traditional treatments are effective in reducing the inflammatory response and improving the clinical symptoms of periodontitis. However, these methods are challenging to achieve an ideal treatment effect in alveolar bone repair.

Unlabelled: SARS-CoV-2 infection induces interferon (IFN) response by plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs), but the underlying mechanisms are poorly defined. Here, we show that the bulk of the IFN-I release comes from pDC sensing of infected cells and not cell-free virions. Physical contact (or conjugates) between pDCs and infected cells is mediated through CD54-CD11a engagement, and such conjugate formation is required for efficient IFN-I production.

Recently, it has been reported that mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived humoral factors promote skin wound healing. As these humoral factors are transiently stored in cytoplasm, we collected them as part of the cell extracts from MSCs (MSC-ext). This study aimed to investigate the effects of MSC-ext on skin wound healing.

Regenerative medicine utilizes stem cells to repair damaged tissues by replacing them with their differentiated cells and activating the body's inherent regenerative abilities. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are adult stem cells that possess tissue repair and regenerative capabilities and immunomodulatory properties with a much lower risk of tumorigenicity, making them a focus of numerous clinical trials worldwide. MSCs primarily exert their therapeutic effects through paracrine effects via secreted factors, such as cytokines and exosomes.

Background: Chromosomal numerical and structural alterations are significant causes of various developmental disorders in foetuses. Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) has emerged as an effective screening tool for detecting common aneuploidies, aiding in the identification of individuals who may require further diagnostic work-up.
Methods: This retrospective, monocentric observational study evaluates the usage patterns, test choices, turnaround times (TAT), and outcomes of NIPT between 2013 and 2023 on a sample of 2431 pregnant women at a special hospital offering outpatient services and comprehensive gynaecological/obstetric inpatient care.
