Dihydroxystilbenes Prevent Azoxymethane/Dextran Sulfate Sodium-Induced Colon Cancer by Inhibiting Colon Cytokines, a Chemokine, and Programmed Cell Death-1 in C57BL/6J Mice

The three dihydroxystilbenes in this study inhibited colon carcinogenesis and tumor growth as well as increases in colon IL-1β, IL-6, MCP-1, and PD-1 levels in AOM/DDS-treated mice in vivo. The three dihydroxystilbenes also suppressed COX-2 expression in colon tumors in vivo and inhibited PD-1 elevations in M2-THP-1 macrophages in vitro.

Dental Follicle Stem Cells Rescue the Regenerative Capacity of Inflamed Rat Dental Pulp through a Paracrine Pathway

Researchers focused on the paracrine effects of rat dental follicle stem cells (DFSCs) on the inflammation and regeneration of rat injured dental pulp to detect whether DFSCs are a potential candidate for mesenchymal stem cell-based minimally invasive vital pulp therapy.

Development of a Miniaturized 96-Transwell Air–Liquid Interface Human Amall Airway Epithelial Model

A 96-well microplate system was developed where primary human small airway epithelial cells were cultured at an air–liquid interface (ALI). After four weeks of ALI culture, a pseudostratified epithelium containing basal, club, goblet and ciliated cells was produced.

Comparative Study between Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Etanercept as Immunomodulatory Agents in Rat Model of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Adipose tissue mesenchymal stem cells were able to delay the onset of collagen-induced arthritis, suppress the ongoing clinical and histopathological signs, decrease serum levels of TNF-α and anti-collagen type II, and downregulate the autoreactive T cells as etanercept.
