Severe burns are a major global health concern, and are associated with long-term physical and psychological impairments, multi-organ dysfunction, and substantial morbidity and mortality. While burn injuries in adults trigger systemic immuno-metabolic alterations-characterized by white adipose tissue browning, elevated resting energy expenditure, widespread catabolism, and inflammation-these adaptive responses are considerably impaired in older adults, with molecular mechanisms behind these differences remaining largely unclear. As a key regulator of systemic metabolism, investigating the pathological role of adipose tissue (AT) postburn may reveal novel targets that could potentially improve patient outcomes.

Background: High % of low-voltage area (LVA), a surrogate of scar, is associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Noninvasive biomarkers of LVA are a medical need for PVI decision.

Objective: We aimed to identify the proteome profile of plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs) associated with high % LVA, their cellular origin, and their regulation by hyperglycemia.

In the current in vitro experiment, we fabricated and characterized placenta/platelet-rich plasma (PL/Pt) composite scaffolds and evaluated their effect on differentiating adipose stem cells (ASCs) into insulin-producing cells (IPCs) in vitro. The human placenta (PL) was decellularized (dPL), characterized, and digested in pepsin. PRP was extracted using a two-step centrifugation process and then freeze-dried.

Emphysema is characterized by chronic alveolar destruction. Lipofibroblasts (LIF) are crucial in the stem cell niche surrounding alveolar type II (AT2) cells and may contribute to alveolar regeneration. We aim to determine whether emphysema is associated with LIF reduction and whether Sterol regulatory binding protein (SREBP) activation promotes LIF differentiation and fibroblast stem cell niche properties.

Cardiac adipose tissue is normally present in the epicardium, but a variable amount can also be present in the myocardium, particularly in the subepicardial regions of the right ventricular anterolateral and apical regions. Pathological adipose tissue changes may occur in both ischemic (previous myocardial infarction) and nonischemic (previous myocarditis, arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy, lipomatous hypertrophy of the interatrial septum, cardiac lipomas and liposarcomas) conditions, with or without extensive replacement-type myocardial fibrosis. Cardiac magnetic resonance is the gold standard imaging technique to characterize myocardial tissue changes and to distinguish between physiological and pathological cardiac fat deposits.
