Article Abstract

Glioblastoma (GB) remains a major challenge owing to its extremely aggressive nature and resistance to conventional therapies. This review focuses on the intricate roles of progenitor cells, microglia, and non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in orchestrating GB pathogenesis and therapy resistance. Glioma stem cells (GSCs), derived from progenitor cells, are important drivers of tumor initiation and recurrence and exhibit remarkable plasticity and resistance to treatment. Microglia, the immune cells of the brain, are hijacked by GB cells to create an immunosuppressive microenvironment that supports tumor growth and resistance to therapy. Non-coding RNAs, including microRNAs and long noncoding RNAs, regulate multiple resistance mechanisms by modulating gene expression and influencing the interactions between progenitor cells and microglia. This review highlights new insights into these interconnected signaling pathways and explores potential therapeutic strategies targeting these molecular players to overcome treatment resistance and improve outcomes in patients with GB.

Unlabelled: Leptomeningeal metastasis (LM) is a severe complication of solid malignancies, including lung adenocarcinoma, characterized by poor prognosis and diagnostic challenges. This study assesses whether curvilinear peri-brainstem hyperintense signals on MRI are a characteristic feature of LM in lung adenocarcinoma patients.

Methods: This retrospective study analyzed data from multiple centers, encompassing lung adenocarcinoma patients with peri-brainstem curvilinear hyperintense signals on MRI between January 2016 and March 2022.

Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) is a life-threatening bone marrow failure syndrome that is caused primarily by immune-mediated destruction of hematopoietic stem cells. Traditional treatment relies on immunosuppressive therapy (IST) with antithymocyte globulin (ATG) and cyclosporine (CSA). However, the toxicity and limited availability of ATG have spurred interest in ATG-free regimens.

NSG-SGM3 humanized mouse models are well-suited for studying human immune physiology but are technically challenging and expensive. We previously characterized a simplified NSG-SGM3 mouse, engrafted with human donor CD34 hematopoietic stem cells without receiving prior bone marrow ablation or human secondary lymphoid tissue implantation, that still retains human mast cell- and basophil-dependent passive anaphylaxis responses. Its capacities for human antibody production and human B cell maturation, however, remain unknown.

This study highlights the biomedical relevance of injectable TS (tannic acid-silk fibroin)-Mg/Sr hydrogels in alveolar bone repair, particularly their prospective role as carriers for stem cells from the apical papilla (SCAPs) in tissue regeneration. By utilizing self-assembling silk material, noted for its favorable handling properties, we present a useful approach for single-wall bone defects, such as bone fenestration and fractures in the oral cavity. Furthermore, our findings regarding the involvement of the TRPM7 ion channel indicate a possible regulatory pathway for improving alveolar bone defect repair.

Background: Spinal cord injury (SCI) often leads to severe motor and sensory impairments, and current treatment methods have not achieved complete neural repair. In recent years, exosomes have become a research focus in the treatment of nerve injuries due to their important roles in intercellular information transfer, immune regulation, and neural repair. Our study conducts a scientometric analysis to map the research landscape related to exosomes in SCI.
