Article Abstract

Severe lung injury causes airway basal stem cells to migrate and outcompete alveolar stem cells, resulting in dysplastic repair. We found that this "stem cell collision" generates an injury-induced tissue niche containing keratin 5 epithelial cells and plastic Pdgfra mesenchymal cells. Single-cell analysis revealed that the injury-induced niche is governed by mesenchymal proliferation and Notch signaling, which suppressed Wnt/Fgf signaling in the injured niche. Conversely, loss of Notch signaling rewired alveolar signaling patterns to promote functional regeneration and gas exchange. Signaling patterns in injury-induced niches can differentiate fibrotic from degenerative human lung diseases through altering the direction of Wnt/Fgf signaling. Thus, we have identified an injury-induced niche in the lung with the ability to discriminate human lung disease phenotypes.

Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and underlying mechanism of advanced optimal pulse technology intense pulsed light (AOPT) in low-energy triple-pulse long-width mode (AOPT-LTL) for melasma treatment.

Methods: An in vivo guinea pig model of melasma was established through progesterone injection and ultraviolet B radiation. Three sessions of AOPT-LTL treatment were performed weekly.

Background/aims: Despite medical advances in recent decades, the mortality rate of advanced liver cirrhosis remains high. Although liver transplantation remains the most effective treatment, candidate selection is limited by donor availability and alcohol abstinence requirements. Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cell (BM-MSC) transplantation has shown promise for the treatment of advanced cirrhosis.

The adult human neural stem cell (ahNSC)-conditioned medium (CM) contains various secreted factors that promote tissue repair and neuroprotection. This study aimed to identify the key secreted proteins in ahNSC-CM and investigate the role of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (TIMP-1) in wound healing, angiogenesis, and neuroprotection against oxygenglucose deprivation. Cytokine array and liquid chromatography- tandem mass spectrometry analysis of ahNSC-CM revealed that monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and TIMP-1 were highly abundant.

Microfluidic devices offer more accurate fluid flow control and lower reagent use for uniform nanoparticle synthesis than batch synthesis. Here, we propose a microfluidic device that synthesizes uniform iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) for highly efficient intracellular delivery. The 3D-printed device was fabricated, comprising two inlets in the T-shaped channel with an inner diameter of 2 mm, followed by a helical mixing channel with a single outlet.

Aim: To investigate the functional significance of mitophagy in age-related osteogenic decline and the underlying mechanisms using in vivo and in vitro models.

Materials And Methods: An alveolar bone defect model in aged mice and a serial passaging-induced ageing model of human periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) were established. Osteogenic potential in mice was assessed by micro-CT, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemical analyses and histological staining.
