Collagen VI–NG2 axis in human tendon fibroblasts under conditions mimicking injury response
Francesca Sardone,Spartaco Santi,Francesca Tagliavini,Francesco Traina,Luciano Merlini,Stefano Squarzoni,Matilde Cescon,Raimund Wagener,Nadir M. Maraldi,Paolo Bonaldo,Cesare Faldini,Patrizia Sabatelli +11 more
TL;DR: By interacting with NG2 proteoglycan and other extracellular matrix proteins, collagen VI regulates fibroblasts behavior and the assembly of tendon matrix, thereby playing a crucial role in tendon repair.

Low-level laser therapy and invisible removal aligners.
Patrizia Sabatelli,Francesca Sardone,Francesco Traina,Luciano Merlini,Spartaco Santi,Raimund Wagener,Cesare Faldini +6 more
TL;DR: LLLT combined with aligners is able to favour, in 12 hours, the same tooth movement obtained by wearing the aligner 22 hours a day, according to the traditional protocol, which could be useful for those patients who prefer not to use the aligners during the day.

Defective collagen VI α6 chain expression in the skeletal muscle of patients with collagen VI-related myopathies
Francesca Tagliavini,Camilla Pellegrini,Francesca Sardone,Stefano Squarzoni,Mats Paulsson,Raimund Wagener,Francesca Gualandi,Cecilia Trabanelli,Alessandra Ferlini,Luciano Merlini,Spartaco Santi,Nadir M. Maraldi,Cesare Faldini,Patrizia Sabatelli +13 more
TL;DR: It is reported that the α6 chain was dramatically reduced in skeletal muscle and muscle cell cultures of genetically characterized UCMD, BM and MM patients, independently of the clinical phenotype, the gene involved and the effect of the mutation on the expression of the “classical” α1α2α3 heterotrimer.

Ultrastructural changes in muscle cells of patients with collagen VI-related myopathies.
Francesca Tagliavini,Francesca Sardone,Stefano Squarzoni,Nadir M. Maraldi,Luciano Merlini,Cesare Faldini,Patrizia Sabatelli +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report for the first time ultrastructural studies on muscle biopsies from BM and UCMD patients, showing swollen mitochondria with hypodense matrix, disorganized cristae and paracrystalline inclusions, associated with dilated sarcoplasmic reticulum and apoptotic changes.

Aggresome-autophagy involvement in a sarcopenic patient with rigid spine syndrome and a p.C150R mutation in FHL1 gene
Patrizia Sabatelli,Silvia Castagnaro,Francesca Tagliavini,Martina Chrisam,Francesca Sardone,L. Demay,Pascale Richard,Spartaco Santi,Nadir M. Maraldi,Luciano Merlini,Marco Sandri,Paolo Bonaldo +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated a family with a mutation (p.C150R) in the second LIM domain of FHL1 and found that the muscle mass was significantly reduced, while fat mass was increased.
