Article Abstract
Objective: To investigate approach and possibility of transferring basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) gene into rabbit bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs).
Methods: The eukaryotic expression vectors harboring bFGF cDNA were constructed and transfected into rabbit BMSCs mediated by liposome. The transcription and expression of bFGF gene in the transfected BMSCs were detected by means of morphological observation, immunohistochemistry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and RT-PCR. The changes in the biological characteristics of the transfected MSCs were also observed.
Results: Stable overexpression of bFGF protein was detected in the transfected BMSCs, which showed differentiation towards chondrocyte lineage.
Conclusion: Stable expression of bFGF gene in transfected BMSCs can induce cell differentiation into chondrocyte lineage.

bFGF rescues dysfunctional properties of adipose-derived stem cells from individuals with type 2 diabetes by modulating their miRNA profile.

Aims/hypothesis: The aim of this study was to investigate whether basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) can restore the proliferation and migration capacities of adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs), which are impaired by type 2 diabetes, and improve vascular remodelling.
Methods: ASCs obtained from individuals with or without diabetes were cultured with 10 ng/ml bFGF for 9 days. The ASCs were phenotypically characterised and functionally tested for proliferation capacity.

Chronic wounds, particularly in diabetic patients, pose significant therapeutic challenges due to impaired healing under ischemic conditions. This study investigated the synergistic effect of a poly glycerol sebacate/poly lactide acid (PGS/PLA) hydrogel combined with hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) on wound healing in a diabetic rat model. Full-thickness skin wounds were induced on the dorsum of rats and treated with PGS/PLA, HBOT, or their combination.

The Tumour Microenvironment (TME) is pivotal for melanoma progression and contributes to therapy resistance. While dermal cell involvement is well established, the role of epidermal cells remains less defined. To explore the contribution of Normal Human Keratinocytes (NHKs) to melanoma biology, we investigated the modification of gene and protein expression of NHKs exposed to melanoma-conditioned medium or maintained in a co-culture system.

Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (UC-MSC-Exos) represent a potential therapeutic solution for captive giant pandas. The aim of this study was elucidating the proteomic and microRNA (miRNA) profiles and discerning their functional roles constitutes an essential step towards comprehending their therapeutic mechanisms and optimizing their application in giant pandas. UC-MSC-Exos, isolated from the culture supernatant of giant panda umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) using classic ultracentrifugation, were characterized using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), nanoparticle tracking analysis (NTA), and western blotting (WB).

However, the mechanism by which CMG2 transmits signals to orient endothelial cells is unknown. Here, we use affinity proteomics to identify proteins that interact with CMG2.
