Article Abstract

The human alveolar bone-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hABMSCs) are considered an attractive source for the development of bone tissues. However, their mechanism of action is still unclear. This work aimed to investigate the potential of the natural human growth hormone (NHGH) derived from stem cells under magnetic field (MF) stimulation for tissue engineering by exploring the paracrine or autocrine effects of hABMSCs . The secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines and growth factors from hABMSCs was profoundly affected by the intensity of the applied MFs. The effects of stimulated MFs on vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) production were quantified by an ELISA kit. Notably, higher cell metabolic activity was observed in MF stimulation compared to the control, and this was more prominent in 130 mT strength of MF. An enhancement in the production of VEGF and BMP-2 was noted in MFs compared to the control. Moreover, higher accumulation of osteogenesis-related genes has occurred in MFs than the control. Furthermore, a significant enhancement in cell metabolic activity and mineralized nodule formations was spotted in the presence of NHGH via MF stimulation; vis-à-vis, MF stimulation only through autocrine and paracrine effects demonstrated the better osteogenic potential of NHGH in the presence of MFs for tissue engineering applications.

Understanding the genetic causes of diseases affecting pancreatic β cells and neurons can give insights into pathways essential for both cell types. Microcephaly, epilepsy and diabetes syndrome (MEDS) is a congenital disorder with two known aetiological genes, IER3IP1 and YIPF5. Both genes encode proteins involved in endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to Golgi trafficking.

Neural stem cells (NSCs) are multipotent stem cells with self-renewal capacity, able to differentiate into all neural lineages of the central nervous system, including neurons, oligodendrocytes, and astrocytes; thus, their proliferation and differentiation are essential for embryonic neurodevelopment and adult brain homoeostasis. Dysregulation in these processes is implicated in neurological disorders, highlighting the need to elucidate how NSCs proliferate and differentiate to clarify the mechanisms of neurogenesis and uncover potential therapeutic targets. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression involved in many aspects of nervous system development and function.

Retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) are highly compartmentalized neurons whose long axons serve as the sole connection between the eye and the brain. In both injury and disease, RGC degeneration occurs in a similarly compartmentalized manner, with distinct molecular and cellular responses in the axonal and somatodendritic regions. The goal of this study was to establish a microfluidic-based platform to investigate RGC compartmentalization in both health and disease states.

Background: Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease delineated by excessive lymphocyte infiltration to the lacrimal or salivary glands, leading to dry eye and dry mouth. Exosomes secreted from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are known to have anti-inflammatory and tissue regeneration abilities. This study endeavored to demonstrate the effect of MSC-derived exosomes on the clinical parameter of dry eyes and associated pathology in SS mouse model.
