Article Abstract
Age at exposure is a critical modifier of the risk of radiation-induced cancer. However, the effects of age on radiation-induced carcinogenesis remain poorly understood. In this study, we focused on tissue stem cells using mice to compare radiation-induced DNA damage responses between Lgr5+ and Lgr5- intestinal stem cells. Three-dimensional immunostaining analyses demonstrated that radiation induced apoptosis and the mitotic index more efficiently in adult Lgr5- stem cells than in adult Lgr5+ stem cells but not in infants, regardless of Lgr5 expression. Supporting this evidence, rapid and transient p53 activation occurred after irradiation in adult intestinal crypts but not in infants. RNA sequencing revealed greater variability in gene expression in adult Lgr5+ stem cells than in infant Lgr5+ stem cells after irradiation. Notably, the cell cycle and DNA repair pathways were more enriched in adult stem cells than in infant stem cells after irradiation. Our findings suggest that radiation-induced DNA damage responses in mouse intestinal crypts differ between infants and adults, potentially contributing to the age-dependent susceptibility to radiation carcinogenesis.

The three-dimensional (3D) culture system has emerged as an indispensable platform for modulating stem cell function in biomedicine, drug screening, and cell therapy. Despite a few studies confirming the functionality of 3D culture, the molecular factors underlying this process remain obscure. Here, we have utilized a hanging drop method to generate 3D spheroid-derived mesenchymal stem cells (3D MSCs) and compared them to conventionally 2D-cultured MSCs.

Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHDa) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) patients. While the first-line consensus treatment has been based on systemic corticosteroid therapy for many years, ruxolitinib has recently been approved and has become the standard second-line treatment. Nevertheless, the effectiveness of ruxolitinib remains limited to 40 % of cortico-resistant patients, raising the crucial question of selecting a third-line treatment.

The Anatolian ground squirrel (Spermophilus xanthoprymnus) offers a valuable model for investigating neuroadaptive processes in the retina during hibernation. This study aimed to assess the expression of vesicular glutamate transporter 1 (VGLUT1), glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) isoforms GAD65 and GAD67, and microtubule-associated protein 2 (MAP2) in the retina during pre-hibernation and hibernation states. Retinal tissues were analyzed using immunohistochemistry and densitometric quantification.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by the loss of dopaminergic neurons and the accumulation of misfolded α-synuclein. Current treatments, including dopaminergic medications and deep brain stimulation (DBS), provide symptomatic relief but do not halt disease progression. Recent advances in molecular research have enabled the development of disease-modifying strategies targeting key pathogenic mechanisms, such as α-synuclein aggregation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and genetic mutations including LRRK2 and GBA1.
