Higher levels of VEGF (p  less then  0.01) and OPN (p  less then  0.01) immunostaining in the epiphysis, the greater formation of osteoid tissue (p  less then  0.01 on Day 7; p  less then  0.05 on Day 14), and higher levels of PAS staining (p  less then  0.01 on Day 7) were observed in the sildenafil-treated group. The present study demonstrated…[Read more]

Membranous nephropathy (MN) is an immune complex mediated disease. Although limited to the kidney, in up to 20% of patients MN is associated with other autoimmune, infectious or malignant diseases. The initial pathogenetic event in what is still considered “primary” MN is the binding of circulating autoantibodies to proteins (autoantigens)…[Read more]

Nowadays concern exists about the safety for both football players and the environment of recycled tire rubber used as infill in synthetic turf football pitches. In this study 40 target compounds, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), plasticizers, antioxidants and vulcanization agents were determined in 50 synthetic football pitches…[Read more]

ent. Regression can occur after the first year of treatment, emphasizing the importance of long-term follow-up.We describe a protocol for efficient generation of human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) from urine-derived cells (UDCs) obtained from adult donors using self-replicative RNA containing the reprogramming factors OCT3/4, SOX2,…[Read more]
