    Abstract COVID-19 has an extensive impact on Homo sapiens globally. Patients with COVID-19 are at an increased risk of developing pulmonary fibrosis. A previous study identified that myofibroblasts could be derived from pulmonary endothelial lineage cells as an important cell source that contributes to pulmonary fibrosis. Here, we analyzed publicly available data and showed that COVID-19 infection drove endothelial lineage cells towards myofibroblasts in pulmonary fibrosis of patients with COVID-19. We also discovered a similar differentiation trajectory in mouse lungs after viral infection. The results suggest that COVID-19 infection leads to the development of pulmonary fibrosis partly through the activation of endothelial cell (EC)-like myofibroblasts.

    Abstract Objective: This study explored the considerations and experiences of Swedish General Practitioners (GPs) of hypertension treatment in patients 80 years and above.
    Design: Qualitative design with focus group interviews. Data were analysed by qualitative content analysis.
    Setting: Primary health care centres (PHCCs), both rural and urban, in the Region of Västra Götaland, Sweden.
    Subjects: GPs and GP trainees working at PHCCs in 2019 and 2020. Five focus group interviews with 24 physicians were performed.
    Main outcome measures: Considerations and experiences of hypertension treatment in the oldest-old.
    Results: Eighteen GPs and six GP trainees participated in the study. The latent content was formulated in a theme: 'The physician's decision-making in the treatment of hypertension in the oldest-old implies the inclusion of both medical and humanistic considerations.' The manifest content constituted three main categories: 'The patient characteristics' included medical condition, behavioural factors and daily life. 'The physician's role' described the GP as a professional and her/his experienced support. 'The treatment decision' considered these categories and involved risk-benefit balancing and communication. For the future, the participants proposed better guidelines for the oldest-old multimorbid patients, increased teamwork, continuous cooperation with nurses and better cooperation with hospital physicians.
    Conclusion: Hypertension care for the oldest-old was experienced as complicated by GPs, due to the need of balancing medical and humanistic considerations. The GP's clinical experience and the received support were of importance when making the treatment decision based on risk-benefit balancing and communication with the patient.Key pointsGPs experienced the task of caring for the oldest-old patients with hypertension as complicated.Patient factors like multimorbidity, polypharmacy, behavioural factors and the patient's condition of daily life were identified.Clinical experience and the experienced support at the PHCC were discussed as important for the GPs' treatment decision.Treatment decisions for the oldest-old patients with hypertension were based on risk-benefit balancing and communication with the patients.

    Abstract Vascular disease, such as atherosclerosis and diabetic vasculopathy, is frequently complicated by vascular calcification. Previously believed to be an end-stage process of unregulated mineral precipitation, it is now well established to be a multi-faceted disease influenced by the characteristics of its vascular location, the origins of calcifying cells and numerous regulatory pathways. It reflects the fundamental plasticity of the vasculature that is gradually being revealed by progress in vascular and stem cell biology. This review provides a brief overview of where we stand in our understanding of vascular calcification, facing the challenge of translating this knowledge into viable preventive and therapeutic strategies.

    Abstract Multipotent cells derived from white adipose tissue have been shown to differentiate into multiple lineages including neurogenic lineages. However, the high innervation of brown adipose tissue by the sympathetic nervous system suggest it might be a better source of neural precursor cells. To investigate potential differences between white and brown progenitors, we cultured white and brown dedifferentiated fat (wDFAT and brDFAT) cells from mouse and human adipose tissue and compared marker expression of neural precursors, and neuronal and glial cells, using fluorescence-activated cell sorting, bright-field imaging, immunofluorescence, and RNA analysis by qPCR. The results showed that both wDFAT and brDFAT cells had the capacity to generate neuronal and glial-like cells under neurogenic conditions. However, the brDFAT cells exhibited enhanced propensity for neurogenic differentiation. The neurogenic cells were at least in part derived from Adiponectin-expressing cells.
