Tendons are traditionally thought to consist of tenocytes only, the resident cells tendons; however, a recent study has demonstrated that human and mouse tendons also contain stem cells, referred as tendon stem/progenitor (TSCs). However, differential properties TSCs remain largely undefined. This aims characterize these derived from rabbits. were isolated patellar Achilles The differentiation potential cell marker expression two types examined using histochemical, immunohistochemical,...
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) containing hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) and other factors are widely used in orthopaedic/sports medicine to repair injured tendons. While PRP treatment is reported decrease pain patients with tendon injury, the mechanism of this effect not clear. Tendon often associated inflammation, HGF known protect tissues from inflammatory damages. Therefore, we hypothesized that causes anti-inflammatory effects. To test hypothesis, performed vitro experiments on rabbit cells...
Serum resistance is a poorly understood but common trait of some difficult-to-treat pathogenic strains bacteria.

Targeted inhibition of oncogenic miRNA-21 has been proposed to treat glioblastoma by rescuing tumor suppressors, PTEN and PDCD4. However, systemic delivery anti-miR-21 sequences requires a robust efficient platform successfully inhibit this druggable target. Three-way-junction (3WJ)-based RNA nanoparticles (RNP), artificially derived from pRNA bacteriophage phi29 DNA packaging motor, was recently shown target glioblastoma. Here, we report that multi-valent folate (FA)-conjugated 3WJ RNP...
Senescent cells within the tumor microenvironment (TME) adopt a proinflammatory, senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) that promotes cancer initiation, progression, and therapeutic resistance. Here, exposure to palbociclib (PD-0332991), CDK4/6 inhibitor, induces senescence robust SASP in normal fibroblasts. Senescence caused by prolonged inhibition is DNA damage-independent associated with Mdm2 downregulation, whereas elicited these largely reliant upon NF-κB activation. Based...
Abstract The ability of some animals to rapidly change their colors can greatly improve chances escaping predators or hunting prey. A classic example is cephalopods, which shift through a wide range colors. This based on the synergetic effect pigmentary and structural exhibited by own two categories color‐changing cells: supernatant chromatophores offer various lower iridophores leucophores reflect different adjusting periodicities. Here, mechanochromic liquid crystalline elastomer with...

Nonradical Fenton-like catalysis offers an opportunity to degrade extracellular antibiotic resistance genes (eARGs). However, high-loading single-atom catalysts (SACs) with controllable configurations are urgently required selectively generate high-yield nonradicals. Herein, we constructed Fe SACs (5.4-34.2 wt %) uniform Fe-N4 sites via optimized coordination balance of supermolecular assembly for peroxymonosulfate activation. The selectivity singlet oxygen (1O2) generation and its...
The reversible isomerization behavior of molecular switches in liquid crystal elastomers (LCEs) usually only can be monotonically repeated, because the motion environment is same for each cycle a permanently cross-linked polymer network. Therefore, achieving tunable photostationary state (PSS) LCE material system significant challenge. Herein, spiropyran-based (SPBM) as switch introduced into system, which constructed typical photo-responsive with behavior. Furthermore, dynamic networks via...
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma cancer (PDAC) continues to pose a significant health burden, with 5-year survival rate of only 10%. Prostate stem cell antigen (PSCA) is highly expressed on the surface tumor cells most PDAC patients, minimum expression in normal tissues. Here, we generated cryopreserved, off-the-shelf, allogeneic PSCA chimeric receptor (CAR) invariant NKT (iNKT) using human peripheral blood mononuclear as source. In multiple vitro and vivo models, freshly manufactured...
