Revolutionizing bone regeneration and wound healing: Mechanical stromal vascular fraction and hyaluronic acid in a mouse calvarial defect model.

Introduction: The stromal vascular fraction (SVF) is a complex and heterogeneous suspension derived from adipose tissue, containing both cellular and noncellular components. Its cellular fraction includes adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), endothelial precursor cells, pericytes, macrophages, lymphocytes, and smooth muscle cells. The acellular "secretome" of SVF includes bioactive molecules such as growth factors, cytokines, chemokines, extracellular vesicles, and fragments of extracellular matrix (ECM), which contribute to its regenerative potential.

The Impact of Acoustic Wave Therapy on Viability and Differentiation Capacity of Human Adipose Stem Cells.

Background: Acoustic Wave Therapy (AWT) is a particular shock wave treatment that combines focused and radial shock waves, resulting in particular efficiency in the body's superficial layers. Its application before fat grafting has the potential to enhance it, favoring a better result of the graft.

Aims: The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of AWT on fat tissue.

Glial Response and Neuronal Modulation Induced by Epidural Electrode Implant in the Pilocarpine Mouse Model of Epilepsy.

In animal models of epilepsy, cranial surgery is often required to implant electrodes for electroencephalography (EEG) recording. However, electrode implants can lead to the activation of glial cells and interfere with physiological neuronal activity. In this study, we evaluated the impact of epidural electrode implants in the pilocarpine mouse model of temporal lobe epilepsy.

Innovative Non-Surgical Plastic Technique for Saddle Nose Correction: A Study on 97 Patients.

Non-surgical rhinoplasty is one of the best choices in mild cases of the saddle nose, and it represents a solution for the aesthetical amelioration of facial deformity; nevertheless, in most critical cases, surgical intervention is still required. This study reports the experience and results of a single facial plastic surgeon (M.G.
