[Gastroenterology] Autochthonous murine models of pancreatic cancer (PC) and co-implanted allografts of murine PC cell lines with adipose-derived MSCs were used to assess the role of Muc5ac in stromal heterogeneity.

[Scientific Reports] Researchers demonstrated that fibroblast programmed death ligand-1 (PD-L1) may have promoted pulmonary fibrosis through both Smad3 and β-catenin signaling and may represent a novel interventional target for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis.

[Gut] Scientists elucidated the nature, regulation and functional relevance of PD-L1+ host cells in HCC.

[Journal of Proteomics] The authors studied the proteome profiled of canine native and decellularized placenta to characterize the proteome related to maintenance of a microenvironment and structure suitable for tissue engineering applications.

[Artificial Organs] Human placenta was decellularized by four protocols and decellularization efficacy was compared by hematoxylin and eosin, 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole staining, and DNA measurement.

[Inflammatory Bowel Diseases] Human Crohn's disease (CD) tissue samples were gained from patients with CD who underwent surgical resection of the intestine and were defined as stenotic or nonstenotic areas.
