Article Abstract

Stem cell therapies have made great progress in the treatment of diabetic wounds during recent decades, while their short in vivo residence, alloimmune reactions, undesired behaviors, and dramatic losses of cell functions still hinder the translation of them into clinic. Here, inspired by the natural components of stem cell niches, we presented novel microfluidic hydrogel microcarriers with extracellular matrix (ECM)-like composition and adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) encapsulation for diabetic wound healing. As the hydrogel was synthesized by conjugating hyaluronic acid methacryloyl (HAMA) onto the Fibronectin (FN) molecule chain (FN-HAMA), the laden ADSCs in the microcarriers showed improved bioactivities and pro-regenerative capabilities. Based on these features, we have demonstrated that these ADSCs microcarriers exhibited significant promotion of neovascularization, follicular rejuvenation, and collagen deposition in a mouse diabetic wound model. These results indicated that the stem cell niche-inspired FN-HAMA microcarriers with ADSCs encapsulation have great clinical potential for diabetic wound treatment.

Background: Active vitamin D metabolites, including 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25D) and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D), have potent immunomodulatory effects that attenuate acute kidney injury (AKI) in animal models.

Methods: We conducted a phase 2, randomized, double-blind, multiple-dose, 3-arm clinical trial comparing oral calcifediol (25D), calcitriol (1,25D), and placebo among 150 critically ill adult patients at high-risk of moderate-to-severe AKI. The primary endpoint was a hierarchical composite of death, kidney replacement therapy (KRT), and kidney injury (baseline-adjusted mean change in serum creatinine), each assessed within 7 days following enrollment using a rank-based procedure.

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.
