Differentiation and Homing of Transplanted Bone Marrow Cells in Livers of Murine Schistosomiasis: Pilot Study

Recent reports have demonstrated the capacity of bone marrow (BM) stem cells to transdifferentiate into hepatocytes. The efficiency of differentiation of bone marrow cells (BMC's) into hepatocytes in vivo and its importance in physiopathologic processes is still debated. The present study was designed to highlight part of the potential capabilities of bone marrow cells and their role in cell ba...

Age of Biological Markers

Way back in 1898 Freud, the propounder of psychoanalysis and enunciator of psychological concepts of mental illnesses wrote to his friend Fliess—"I have no desire at all to leave the psychology hanging in the air with no organic basis but beyond the feeling of conviction (that there must be such a basis), I have nothing either theoretical or therapeutic to work on and so I must behave as if con...

Effectiveness and versatility of biological prosthesis in transplanted patients

AIM To emphasize the effectiveness and versatility of prosthesis, and good tolerance by patients with incisional hernia (IH). METHODS From December 2001 to February 2016, 270 liver transplantations were performed at San Camillo Hospital. IH occurred in 78 patients (28.8%). IH usually appeared early within the first year post-orthotopic liver transplantation. In the first era, fascial defect w...

Biological Age Predictors

The search for reliable indicators of biological age, rather than chronological age, has been ongoing for over three decades, and until recently, largely without success. Advances in the fields of molecular biology have increased the variety of potential candidate biomarkers that may be considered as biological age predictors. In this review, we summarize current state-of-the-art findings consi...
