[European Journal Of Medical Research] The authors discuss the formation and accumulation of advanced glycation end products and the subsequent activation of signaling pathways leading to oxidative stress, inflammation, endothelial dysfunction, smooth muscle cell proliferation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and impaired angiogenesis.

[Science] The NIH has paused the start of a major human trial of an experimental drug aimed at protecting the brain after a stroke and launched an investigation into recently aired concerns about the drug’s safety and whether lab studies supporting its promise contain manipulated images and data.

[ACS Nano] Investigators demonstrated that MSC-derived apoptotic vesicles (apoVs) were promising therapeutic agents for bone regeneration. However, clinical translation of MSC-derived apoVs had been hindered due to cell expansion and nuclear substance.

[Biochimica Et Biophysica Acta-Molecular Basis Of Disease] Researchers identified enhancers-mediated gene FOXO3 promoting MSC adipogenic differentiation by activating autophagy.

[Nature Reviews Bioengineering] Scientists discuss the design of nanovaccines, including lipid-nanocarrier-based messenger RNA nanovaccines, highlighting engineering strategies for different administration routes, including nasal administration.

[Nature Reviews Neuroscience] The authors put special emphasis on discussing the methodological difficulties of viral detection in central nervous system (CNS) tissue and discuss immune-based effects contributing to COVID-19-related CNS affection.

[Scientific Reports] Researchers investigated the direct effects of spike receptor-binding domain on human cardiomyocytes differentiated from induced pluripotent stem cells.

[Scientific Reports] Scientists investigated the immunogenicity and efficacy of a prime-boost immunization regimen administered intranasally, intramuscularly, or combinations of the two.

[Nature Communications] Researchers developed a molecular tension sensor that embeds into the F-actin cytoskeleton. Using this sensor, they measured tension within stress fibers and cortical actin, as the cell was subject to uniaxial stretch.

[Communications Biology] Scientists showed in mice that hepatocyte proliferation is spatiotemporally regulated in each liver lobular zone during pregnancy, with transient proliferation of periportal and pericentral hepatocytes during mid and late gestation, respectively.

[Scientific Reports] Researchers clarified whether aspirin exerted its anti-HCC effect by inhibiting PD-L1 expression. The rat model of HCC was established by drinking 0.01% diethylnitrosamine, and aspirin was given by gavage.

[Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation] The National Institutes of Health recently awarded Dr. Xiao-Hong Sun a $3.4 million grant to continue unraveling mysteries about innate lymphoid cells, including whether they may offer clues about the differences in immune reactions between children and adults.
