Article Abstract

Black rockfish () is a marine ovoviviparous teleost that exhibits significant sexual dimorphism, with females growing faster and reaching larger sizes than males. Establishing stable oogonial stem cells (OSCs) is critical for understanding germline stem cell dynamics and facilitating all-female breeding. In this study, we successfully isolated and cultured OSCs from for 12 passages. These cells exhibited alkaline phosphatase activity, expressed germline marker genes (, , ), and maintained a diploid karyotype (2n 48). Transcriptomic comparisons between early (P3) and late (P12) passages revealed significant metabolic dysfunction and cell cycle arrest in the late-passage cells. Specifically, the down-regulation of glutathione-related and glycolysis-related genes (, , , , , , ) and key mitotic regulators (, , , , , ) suggested that metabolic imbalance contributes to oxidative stress, resulting in cell cycle inhibition and eventual senescence. This study provides a marine fish model for investigating metabolism-cell cycle interactions in germline stem cells and lays the foundation for future applications in germ cell transplantation and all-female breeding.

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.

Background: Sjögren's syndrome (SS) is a chronic autoimmune disease delineated by excessive lymphocyte infiltration to the lacrimal or salivary glands, leading to dry eye and dry mouth. Exosomes secreted from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are known to have anti-inflammatory and tissue regeneration abilities. This study endeavored to demonstrate the effect of MSC-derived exosomes on the clinical parameter of dry eyes and associated pathology in SS mouse model.
