Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are clinically useful due to their capacity for self-renewal, immunomodulatory properties and tissue regenerative potential. These can be isolated from various tissues exhibit different potential clinical applications according origin, thus comparative studies on MSCs essential. In this study, we investigated the immunophenotype, proliferative potential, multilineage differentiation of derived sources, namely bone marrow, adipose tissue, placenta umbilical cord...
Accumulating evidence has shown that the paracrine factors derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are capable of regulating immune system via interaction with various cells. In this study, adipose-derived MSCs (AdMSCs) and human peripheral blood monocytes (PBMCs) were isolated cultured to examine effects MSC-induced macrophages (iMΦ) on inflammation modulation. Indirect coculture increased expression arginase-1 mannose receptor (CD206), markers activated M2 macrophages, in PBMCs...

Selenium is known play...
Viable mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) were efficiently and selectively harvested by near-infrared (NIR) light using the photothermal effect of a conductive polymer nano thin film. The poly(3,4-ethylenedioxy thiophene) (PEDOT)-coated cell culture surfaces prepared via simple fast solution-casting polymerization (SCP) technique. absorption PEDOT films in NIR region was effectively triggered harvesting upon exposure to an source. By controlling film through electrochemical doping or growing with...
A bioreductant-resistant 'turn-on' chemodosimetric fluorescent probe Mito-1 has been developed for the detection of mitochondrial HNO in live cells. enables as low ∼18 nM. It capability to detect both exogenous and endogenous formations cellular milieus by providing fluorescence images. Its two-photon imaging ability fosters its use a noninvasive tool nitroxyl.
Introduction Sleep fragmentation (SF) is a hallmark of sleep disorders and has been associated with systemic health issues, but its specific impact on skin remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether SF impairs barrier function identify the biological pathways involved in SF-induced damage. Methods Twenty-four 6-week-old male BALB/c mice were divided into home cage control (HC) groups. was induced using commercially available chamber. Skin assessed by measuring transepidermal...
Near infrared (NIR) photothermal pattern on conductive polymer film enables unique approaches to harvest large‐area cell sheets with various patterns without the use of patterned culture dish. The NIR is generated from a optical lens (POL), which creates dynamic near IR light and corresponding (PTP) film. POL prepared transparent polydimethylsiloxane designed generate patterns. PTPs allow noninvasive cultured cells as an intact living sheet high harvesting efficiency (η > 100). Various...
The positive effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are primarily activated through molecular secretions known as paracrine activity, which regulates the function various cell types including immune cells. Accumulating evidence shows that exosomes soluble factors released from MSCs potential alternative agents for cell-based therapy, although exact underlying mechanism has not been elucidated. purpose this study was to evaluate produced by adipose-derived and examine changes in...
Abstract The local heating of poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) by a photothermal effect directed near‐infrared (NIR) light induces unfolding absorbed collagen triple helices, yielding soluble single‐helical structures. This dissociation collagens allowed the harvesting living idiomorphic cell sheet, achieved upon irradiation with NIR ( λ =808 nm). PEDOT layer was patterned and cells were successfully cultured on substrate. Cell sheets various shapes mirroring pattern could be...
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) differentiate into multiple lineages and are a promising source of for clinical use.
