TL;DR: Quantitative variations of myenteric neuro‐glial cells and ICC indicate considerable alterations of the colonic neuromuscular compartment in the setting of mucosal inflammation associated with UC, and provide a morphological basis for better understanding the motor abnormalities often observed in UC patients.

TL;DR: Results showed that cardiac cells as well as endothelial cells were able to produce CNP, suggesting that the heart is actively involved in the production of CNP.

TL;DR: UCB-derived MSCs were proved to grow on biodegradable microfiber meshes; additionally, they were able to differentiate toward mature osteoblasts when cultured inside human plasma clots, suggesting their potential application in orthopedic surgery.

TL;DR: The in situ creation of a biological matrix by human fibroblasts together with the ability to produce growth factor TGF-beta1 and the intracellular signal transduction molecule RhoA suggests that this kind of PVA/gelatine sponge may represent a suitable support for in vitro extracellular matrix production and connective tissue regeneration.

TL;DR: Nut-Mag-SLNs represent a promising multifunctional nanoplatform for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme and showed good colloidal stability, the ability to cross an in vitro blood–brain barrier model, and a superior pro-apoptotic activity toward gliOBlastoma cells with respect to the free drug.
