In the regenerative medicine field, allogenic transplantation of regenerated tissues has been promoted because autologous transplantation setting is costly and time-consuming to prepare and therefore unsuitable for emergent treatment. To avoid a T cell-mediated immune rejection in the allogenic transplantation setting, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) derived from different HLA haplotype-homozygous (HLA-homo) donors have been prepared to be used as source of regenerated tissues. However, there still remain immunological issues, even when HLA-homo iPSCs are used. One issue is the immune response against minor histocompatibility antigens expressed on the regenerated tissues, and the other is the immune rejection mediated by NK cells. In this article, we introduce our research on NK cell reactivity against the regenerated tissues in the HLA homo-to-hetero transplantation setting. We further introduce several approaches taken by other groups that address the NK-mediated immune rejection issue.

Oxygen plays a critical regulatory role in tissue repair and regeneration. However, in the microenvironment of tissues with vascular damage, hypoxia is commonly present. This not only suppresses cell proliferation and differentiation but also delays angiogenesis and extracellular matrix reconstruction, ultimately hindering the tissue regeneration process.

This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to critically evaluate and synthesize the available evidence on the use of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) in the management of mandibular and non-mandibular maxillofacial fractures. A comprehensive search of electronic databases was conducted up to February 2025 based on predefined inclusion criteria. The risk of bias in randomized controlled trials was assessed using the Cochrane Risk of Bias (ROB) tool, while the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale was applied to observational studies.

Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs) hold great promise for bone tissue repair and regeneration. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) play a crucial role in regulating the osteogenic differentiation and bone remodeling of ADSCs; however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, we conducted whole transcriptome sequencing (WTS) on ADSCs and constructed a competing endogenous RNA (ceRNA) regulatory network to identify the circTTC3/miR-205/mothers against decapentaplegic homolog 3 (Smad3) signaling axis.

Hematopoiesis is the process responsible for the generation of blood cells in both the circulation and tissues. It plays a crucial role in maintaining homeostasis and defending against infections in animals. Although hematopoiesis is a common feature among animals with a circulatory system, the specific mechanisms involved in hematopoietic events vary significantly among invertebrates.

Introduction: Ischemic heart disease (IHD) constitutes the most prevalent form of cardiac disease in the general population. Although current therapeutic interventions have significantly improved both quality of life and survival rates, no available treatment can reverse the loss of cardiomyocytes resulting from ischemic injury. Existing therapies are limited to attenuating myocardial damage, reducing its extent, and mitigating its clinical consequences.
