Article Abstract
Autoimmune demyelinating diseases-including multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder, anti-myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein-associated disease, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-associated meningoencephalomyelitis-are a heterogeneous group of diseases even though their common pathology is characterized by neuroinflammation, loss of myelin, and reactive astrogliosis. The lack of safe pharmacological therapies has purported the notion that cell-based treatments could be introduced to cure these patients. Among stem cells, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), obtained from various sources, are considered to be the ones with more interesting features in the context of demyelinating disorders, given that their secretome is fully equipped with an array of anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective molecules, such as mRNAs, miRNAs, lipids, and proteins with multiple functions. In this review, we discuss the potential of cell-free therapeutics utilizing MSC secretome-derived extracellular vesicles-and in particular exosomes-in the treatment of autoimmune demyelinating diseases, and provide an outlook for studies of their future applications.

The human stomach features distinct, regionalized functionalities along the anterior-posterior axis. Historically, studies on stomach patterning have used animal models to identify the underlying principles. Recently, human pluripotent stem (hPS)-cell-based gastric organoids for modelling domain-specific development of the fundic and antral epithelium are emerging.

Objective: Diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is a common and serious complication of diabetes, often leading to infection, amputation and poor quality of life. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have shown promise in treating chronic wounds, but their therapeutic efficacy is limited due to poor survival and low regenerative activity. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIUS), a non-invasive physical modality, has been shown to enhance the biological behavior of BMSCs.

Lineage specification requires accurate interpretation of multiple signaling cues. However, how combinatorial signaling histories influence fate outcomes remains unclear. We combined single-cell transcriptomics, live-cell imaging, and mathematical modeling to explore how activin and bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) guide fate specification during human gastrulation.

Background: Osteoporotic osteoarthritis (OPOA), a distinct subtype of osteoarthritis (OA), has imposed a significant health and economic burden worldwide. However, mechanistic studies and therapeutic strategies for this disease remain in the exploratory stage.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the specific molecular mechanisms by which osteoporosis (OP) exacerbates OA progression through accelerated subchondral bone (SB) sclerosis and the potential of Jiawei Yanghe Decoction (JWYHD) in treating OPOA.
