Article Abstract
Introduction: Cryolipolysis (CLL) is a widely employed noninvasive procedure for body fat reduction. It operates by inducing cooling, leading to the crystallization of cytoplasmic lipids, loss of cellular integrity, and apoptosis/necrosis of adipocytes, accompanied by local inflammation. Ongoing discussions revolve around CLL's potential to transform white adipocytes into brown adipocytes, potentially yielding more significant effects compared to alternative procedures.
Objective: Thus, this randomized, blinded clinical study aimed to investigate the effects of CLL on adipose tissue and elucidate the mechanisms involved in its application and capacity for adipocyte conversion.
Methodology: Tissue samples from six patients were assessed at intervals of 45, 60, and 90 days following the application of the CLL protocol during abdominoplasty surgeries.
Results: The samples underwent immunohistochemical analyses targeting various markers, revealing higher expression of PPAR-gamma, PPAR-alpha, and UCP-1 markers in CLL-treated samples.
Conclusion: Therefore, the present study suggests that CLL has the ability to intervene in adipocyte conversion.

Introduction: Pressure injuries (PIs) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) still impacts patients' health and places a heavy burden on healthcare systems. Stage I and stage II PIs are particularly prevalent among individuals with diabetes. Without timely and appropriate interventions, these injuries can progress to more severe stages, requiring prolonged recovery periods.

Objective: Vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG) promotes significant metabolic improvements, though the underlying molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Emerging evidence suggests that small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) contribute to metabolic improvements post VSG, such as improved fatty liver disease or adipose tissue function; however, it is unclear how different organ-specific sEVs interact with various metabolic parameters. The objective of this study is to establish the role of organ-specific sEVs in the metabolic improvements post VSG.

Human Dental Pulp Stem Cells (hDPSCs) represent a remarkable cell source for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, offering significant potential for use in personalized medicine and autologous therapies. Decellularized extracellular matrix (ECM)-derived biological scaffolds show excellent properties for supporting cell delivery and growth in both in vitro and in vivo applications. These scaffolds provide essential biochemical cues that regulate cellular functions and offer a more accurate representation of the in vivo environment.

Obesity is a multifactorial disease characterized by excessive accumulation of adipose tissue, resulting from an imbalance between energy intake and expenditure. Mouse models have emerged as invaluable tools for elucidating the complex genetic, environmental, and physiological mechanisms driving to obesity. This chapter provides an overview of the methodologies employed to establish and study obesity in mice, highlighting their relevance to human disease.
