Can Polymorphisms in NLRP3 Inflammasome Complex Be Associated with Postmenopausal Osteoporosis Severity?
( MDPI , 2022 , Article)The immune system plays a critical role in bone homeostasis and, consequently, in the pathophysiology of postmenopausal osteoporosis (OP) since estrogen deficiency induces the inflammasome and increases production of ... -
A rare loss-of-function genetic mutation suggest a role of dermcidin deficiency in hidradenitis suppurativa pathogenesis
( Frontiers Media , 2022 , Article)Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is a chronic inflammatory skin disease with a multifactorial aetiology that involves a strict interplay between genetic factors, immune dysregulation and lifestyle. Familial forms represent ... -
Paraviral cutaneous manifestations associated to SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant
( Taylor and Francis Group , 2022 , Article)Background: The spreading of the SARS-CoV-2 Omicron variant is probably due to its increased transmissibility and ability to escape from neutralising antibodies. Cutaneous manifestations have been reported after infection ... -
Validation of a Novel Fluorescent Lateral Flow Assay for Rapid Qualitative and Quantitative Assessment of Total Anti-SARS-CoV-2 S-RBD Binding Antibody Units (BAU) from Plasma or Fingerstick Whole-Blood of COVID-19 Vaccinees
