Article Abstract

Spinal cord injury (SCI) results in significant neural damage and inhibition of axonal regeneration due to an imbalanced microenvironment. Extensive evidence supports the efficacy of mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation as a therapeutic approach for SCI. This review aims to present an overview of MSC regulation on the imbalanced microenvironment following SCI, specifically focusing on inflammation, neurotrophy and axonal regeneration. The application, limitations and future prospects of MSC transplantation are discussed as well. Generally, a comprehensive perspective is provided for the clinical translation of MSC transplantation for SCI.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is followed by irreversible damage to the myocardium, which eventually evolves into ventricular remodeling and heart failure. An imbalanced inflammatory response after MI can exacerbate myocardial injury. Current strategies to modulate inflammation and thereby improve myocardial tissue repair are limited.

Breast cancer remains a leading global health challenge, with treatment resistance posing significant obstacles to effective therapy. Emerging research highlights the pivotal role of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and gut microbiota in modulating breast cancer progression and therapeutic outcomes. This review explores the interplay and potential relevance of the PUFA-microbiota-ferroptosis axis in breast cancer progression and therapy.

Background And Objective: Continuous monitoring and in-situ assessment of microvascular connectivity have significant implications for culturing vascularized organoids and optimizing the therapeutic strategies. However, commonly used methods for vascular connectivity assessment heavily rely on fluorescent labels that may either raise biocompatibility concerns or interrupt the normal cell growth process. This study provides a new avenue for label-free and continuous assessment of organoid or tumor vascularization in vitro.

Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy (HDP), including gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, and eclampsia, represent significant causes of maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. The core pathogenesis of HDP involves an imbalance in the immune microenvironment at the maternal-fetal interface, manifested by aberrant interactions among trophoblast cells, decidual immune cells, and systemic inflammatory responses. Trophoblast dysfunction and inadequate spiral artery remodeling result in placental ischemia and hypoxia, which in turn trigger the release of anti-angiogenic factors (such as sFlt-1 and sEng) and damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), leading to systemic inflammation and endothelial injury.
