Improved Diabetic Wound Healing by Bovine Lactoferricin Is Associated with Relevant Changes in the Skin Immune Response and Microbiota

The wound healing potential of bovine lactoferricin was investigated using in vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo models. Cell migration and proliferation were tested on keratinocytes and on porcine ears.

Tumor-Derived Exosomal MicroRNA-106b-5p Activates the Interaction between EMT-Cancer Cells and M2-Subtype TAMs to Facilitate Colorectal Cancer Metastasis

Scientists found that epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT)-colorectal cancer cells promoted the M2-like polarization of macrophages by directly transferring exosomes to macrophages, leading to a significant increase of miR-106b level in macrophages.
