TL;DR: On 31 May 2013, the first case of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV) infection in Italy was laboratory confirmed in a previously healthy adult man, who developed pneumonia with moderate respiratory distress after returning from a holiday in Jordan.

TL;DR: The involvement of the S1P/S1PR axis and the downstream signaling pathways in the development of fibrosis are emphasized and the current knowledge of the therapeutic potential of S1PR subtype modulators in the treatment of the cardiac functions and fibrinogenesis are examined.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that beta-HPV types belonging to species 1 are the most common HPV types detected in the skin of BCC patients, and beta-1-HPVs as well as co-infection with more than one viral type could be important in NMSC and in particular in BCC.

TL;DR: The ddPCR represents a better method for detection of MCPyV in FFPE biopsies, mostly these containing low copies number of viral genome.

TL;DR: These findings demonstrate for the first time the trophic role of S1P/S1PR1 signalling in maintaining BM-MSCs' ability to modulate MMP-2 function, necessary for cytoskeleton reorganization and cell proliferation in both normoxia and hypoxia.
