Soluble VCAM-1 Promotes Gemcitabine Resistance via Macrophage Infiltration and Predicts Therapeutic Response in Pancreatic Cancer

Subcutaneous allograft tumors with overexpression or knock-down of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), as well as VCAM-1-blocking treatment in the spontaneous mouse model of pancreatic cancer, revealed that sVCAM-1 promotes tumor growth and resistance to gemcitabine treatment in vivo but not in vitro.

Human Amniotic Membrane-Mesenchymal Stem Cells-Conditioned Medium Reduces Inflammatory Factors and Fibrosis in Ovalbumin-Induced Asthma in Mice

Investigators examined the effects of human amniotic membrane MSCs‐conditioned medium on ovalbumin (OVA)‐induced asthma. 48 hours after the last challenge, serum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid samples were collected and used for evaluation of inflammatory factors and cells, respectively.

Immunological Mechanisms and Therapeutic Targets of Fatty Liver Diseases

Scientists review the roles of multiple immunological mechanisms and therapeutic targets related to the inflammation associated with fatty liver diseases and the differences in the progression of alcoholic liver disease and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Multiple cell types in the liver, including macrophages, neutrophils, other immune cell types and hepatocytes, are involved in fatty liver disease inflammation.

Macrophage-Derived Small Extracellular Vesicles Promote Biomimetic Mineralized Collagen-Mediated Endogenous Bone Regeneration

Researchers evaluated the potential role of macrophage-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) in biomimetic mineralized collagen-mediated endogenous bone regeneration in vivo and in vitro. Macrophage-derived sEVs were involved in intrafibrillarly mineralized collagen (IMC)-mediated endogenous bone regeneration in vivo, and IMC-sEVs facilitated MSC osteogenesis through the Smad/1/5/9 pathway.
