Paracrine Mechanisms of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in Angiogenesis by Selma Maacha, Heba Sidahmed, Shana Jacob, Giusy Gentilcore, Rita Calzone, Jean-Charles Grivel, Chiara Cugno

“…The secretome is a composite product secreted by MSC in vitro (in conditioned medium) and in vivo (in the extracellular milieu), consisting of a protein soluble fraction (mostly growth factors and cytokines) and a vesicular component, extracellular vesicles (EVs), which transfer proteins, lipids, and genetic material. MSC-derived secretome differs based on the tissue from which the MSCs are isolated and under specific conditions (e.g., preconditioning or priming) suggesting that clinical applications should be tailored by choosing the tissue of origin and a priming regimen to specifically correct a given pathology. …”

Contact zone of slow worms Anguis fragilis Linnaeus, 1758 and Anguis colchica (Nordmann, 1840) in Poland by Grzegorz Skórzewski, Bartosz Borczyk, Stanisław Bury, Daniel Kulik, Jan Kotusz

“…Methods We examined 35 populations of A. fragilis and A. colchica to identify the level of morphological and genetic divergence in Poland. We applied a conventional study approach using metric, meristic, and categorial (coloration) features for a phenotype analysis, and two standard molecular markers, a mitochondrial (NADH-ubiquinone oxidoreductase chain 2; ND2) and a nuclear (V(D)J recombination-activating protein 1; RAG1) one. …”

Early Permian to Middle Triassic Formation petroleum potentials of Sydney Basin, Australia: A geochemical analysis by Garba Terfa Elijah, Mustapha Khairul Azlan, Asiwaju Lanre, Mutari Lawal

“…Still, the molecular signature of some of the coal samples shows prokaryotic organic matter present in the extracts, indicating a thin section of possibly a calcareous lithology interbedded within the coal measure formation. Genetically, the coal extracts of the Permian in the Sydney Basin, Australia, provide a new insight into the generation and expulsion of oil from coal, which might be responsible for the widespread oil and gas shows in the basin. …”
