Epidermolysis bullosa acquisita (EBA) is a rare autoimmune pathology that affects the skin and the mucous membranes, presenting as clinical signs skin fragility, cutaneous vesicle and bullae, blisters, erosions with residual scarring and milia formation. Despite the advances recorded in the field of EBA pathogenesis molecular mechanism, diagnostic and therapeutically approaches, this topic is far from being elucidated. The present study aimed to offer a comprehensive overview of the advances recorded in the field of EBA in terms of animal murine models, key players in understanding EBA, highlighting the challenges and limitations encountered during the development of this type of models. RezumatEpidermoliza buloasă dobândită (EBD) este o patologie autoimună rară care afectează pielea și membranele mucoaselor, prezentând ca semne clinice fragilitate cutanată, vezicule și bule, pustule, eroziuni cu cicatrici reziduale și formarea unor protuberanțe de culoare albă. Deși s-au înregistrat progrese semnificative în ceea ce privește EBD prin prisma mecanismelor moleculare implicate în patogeneză, a diagnosticului și a abordării terapeutice, acest subiect este departe de a fi elucidat. Studiul de față a avut drept scop sumarizarea în mod comprehensiv a datelor existente privind modelele animale murine pentru EBD, elemente cu rol major în înțelegerea acestei patologii, evidențiind provocările și limitările întâlnite în timpul dezvoltării unui astfel de model animal.

Within the framework of plant biostimulation, a pivotal role is played by the achievement of low-cost, easily prepared nanoparticles for priming purposes. Therefore, in this report, two different synthetic strategies are described to engineer zinc oxide nanoparticles with an inulin coating. In both protocols, i.e., two-step and gel-like one-pot protocols, nanoparticles with a highly pure ZnO kernel are obtained when the reaction is carried out at T ≥ 40 °C, as ascertained by XRD and ATR/FTIR studies. However, a uniformly dispersed, highly homogeneous coating is achieved primarily when different temperatures, i.e., 60 °C and 40 °C, are employed in the two phases of the step-wise synthesis. In addition, a different binding mechanism, i.e., complexation, occurs in this case. When the gel-like process is employed, a high degree of coverage by the fructan is attained, leading to micrometric coated aggregates of nanometric particles, as revealed by SEM investigations. All NPs from the two-step synthesis feature electronic bandgaps in the 3.25–3.30 eV range in line with previous studies, whereas the extensive coating causes a remarkable 0.4 eV decrease in the bandgap. Overall, the global analysis of the investigations indicates that the samples synthesized at 60 °C and 40 °C are the best suited for biostimulation. Proof-of-principle assays upon Vicia faba seed priming with Zn5 and Zn5@inu indicated an effective growth stimulation of seedlings at doses of 100 mgKg−1, with concomitant Zn accumulation in the leaves.
