Extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) may contribute to biological processes such as tissue regeneration, immunomodulation and neuroprotection. Evaluation of their therapeutic potential application in future clinical trials demands thorough characterization EV content production under defined medium conditions, devoid xenogenic substances serum-derived vesicles. Addressing the apparent need for a growth medium, we have developed formulation based on pooled...

For a long time necrosis was thought to be an uncontrolled process but evidences recently have revealed that can also occur in regulated manner. Necroptosis, type of programmed is defined as death receptor-initiated under caspase-compromised conditions. The requires the kinase activity receptor-interacting protein 1 and 3 (RIPK1 RIPK3) mixed lineage domain-like (MLKL), substrate RIPK3. further downstream events remain elusive. We applied known inhibitors characterize contributing enzymes...

The regenerative and immunomodulatory activity of mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) is partially mediated by secreted vesicular factors. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) exocytosed MSCs are gaining increased attention as prospective non-cellular therapeutics for a variety diseases. However, the lack suitable in vitro assays to monitor therapeutic potential EVs currently restricts their application clinical studies. We have evaluated dual immunomodulation potency assay that reproducibly reports...

Brain tumors are frequently diagnosed diseases in which etiology and progression largely depend on mutations genetic factors. Additionally, recent reports document that the microbiome may influence tumor growth, microenvironment, response to therapy. Our goal was examine extent bacterial composition—microbiota—and fungal composition—mycobiota—characteristic of its microenvironment correlate with composition gut blood microbiota mycobiota five randomly selected brain patients. The tumor,...

Previous research confirmed gut dysbiosis and translocation of selected intestinal bacteria into the vessel wall in abdominal aortic aneurysm patients. We studied stool, blood, thrombus microbiomes 21 patients using 16S rRNA sequencing. Our goals were to determine: 1. whether microbiome characteristic an differs from that a healthy vessel, 2. detectable are translocated through bloodstream, 3. enzymatic activity can contribute destruction wall.

The number of bioinformatics tools and resources that support molecular cell biology approaches is continuously expanding. Moreover, systems network analyses are accompanied more by integrated methods. Traditional information-centered university teaching methods often fail, as (1) it impossible to cover all existing in the frame a single course, (2) large segment current bioinformation can become obsolete few years. Signaling offers an excellent example for tools, both focused complex at...

It is now generally accepted that the success of antitumor therapy can be impaired by concurrent antibiotic therapy, presence certain bacteria, and elevated defensin levels around tumor tissue. The aim our current investigation was to identify underlying changes in microbiome tissue induced different antibiotics, as well duration this modification. tissues significantly from healthy volunteers. Comparing only samples, no significant difference confirmed between untreated group treated with...

Darier disease (DD) is a rare autosomal dominant genodermatosis characterized by erythematous papules and plaques mainly involving sebaceous areas, such as the face, chest back. Skin microbiome plays an essential role in maintaining skin homeostasis. A disturbed may contribute to exacerbation of DD. We investigated bacterial composition two predilectional sites DD patients healthy individuals. also measured deeper layers, where diversity was significantly reduced compared superficial layer...

Several research groups have confirmed that in the pathogenesis of chronic inflammatory skin disorder rosacea, composition and fecal microbiome affected patients differs from healthy individuals. We studied stool, blood microbiomes rosacea control using 16S rRNA sequencing. Our goals were to determine 1. whether characteristics differ individuals, 2. change experienced on can be by alterations stool through mediation 3. metabolic activity changed skin, or play a role rosacea.

An external ventricular drain (EVD) is used to release elevated intracranial pressure by draining cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the brain's ventricles. The establishment of an EVD one most commonly performed neurosurgical procedures treat in patients. Nevertheless, infections are very frequent complications. Identifying risk factors for EVD-related a key improving patient safety and outcomes.

Abstract The borderline between necrosis and apoptosis is indistinct, but that types of cell death important because may lead to local inflammation, whereas usually does not. In certain autoimmune disorders, inhibition crucial, since macromolecules released from the dead cells accelerate processes. We have used various inhibitors block induced by 4HPR [N‐(4‐hydroxyphenil)‐retinamide] BL41 U937 lines. VD‐FMK, a general caspase inhibitor, inhibited DNA fragmentation 4HPR, not PI (propidium...
