How to improve the regenerative potential of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) for the use in regenerative medicine?
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are widely used in regenerative medicine. They can be isolated from different adult tissues. However, the regenerative potential of MSCs obtained from various sources and from different age donors may significantly differ.
Potential enhanced association between obstructive lung disease and history of depression in patients with diabetes
Depression is one of the most common comorbidities of chronic diseases including diabetes and obstructive lung diseases (emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and asthma). Obstructive lung diseases and depression have few symptoms in common. However, they are both common in adults and associated with chronic inflammation. It is not clear if their coappearance in diabetic patients is coincidental or associated beyond that expected by chance.
A small peptide possesses great potentials in myocardial infarction intervention
Damaged myocardial tissue is difficult to recover after myocardial infarction (MI), and scars without systolic function formed on the heart put patients at risk of arrhythmia or cardiac failure. Common surgical and medical management mainly function to attenuate the associated symptoms, with fewer effects on promoting regeneration of the damaged myocardium.
Nemo-like kinase as a potential target for treatment of Diamond Blackfan Anemia
Diamond Blackfan Anemia (DBA) is a congenital bone marrow failure syndrome characterized by hypoproliferative anemia, in which the major defect is ineffective erythropoiesis. Over 70% of patients with DBA have mutations in ribosomal protein subunits, although the precise molecular mechanisms contributing to the pathogenesis of DBA are not well understood.
Involvement of transient receptor potential in liver diseases
Transient receptor potential (TRP) family is a large superfamily of widely expressed ion channels. In recent years, several studies have been conducted on the mechanism of action of TRP. However, studies on the role of TRP in liver diseases are limited. In fact, TRP plays a vital role in the progression of many liver diseases, such as hepatic fibrosis, hepatocellular carcinoma, alcoholic fatty liver disease, and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.
