Maxia C, Murtas D, Isola M, Tamma R, Zucca I, Piras F, et al.
Mol Vis . 2019 Feb; 24:853-866. PMID: 30713424
Purpose: Telocytes (TCs) are peculiar interstitial cells, characterized by their typical elongated and interconnected processes called telopodes. TCs are supposed to contribute to maintain tissue homeostasis but also to be...

Eur J Histochem . 2018 Jan; 61(4):2837. PMID: 29313597
Pterygium, an ultraviolet radiation (UV)-related disease, is a relatively benign process, but since it displays tumor-like features, it has been proposed to be a neoplastic- like growth disorder. Vitamin D...
