Review

[Future Oncology] Investigators focus on the role of CD39 and CD73 in immune response and malignant progression, including the expression of CD39 within the tumor microenvironment and its relationship to immune effector cells, and its role in antigen presentation.

[Journal of Cellular Physiology] The authors review the multifaceted functions of B cells in atherosclerosis, with a specific focus on HIV. Unique to atherosclerosis is the pivotal role of natural antibodies, particularly those targeting oxidized epitopes abundant in modified lipoproteins and cellular debris.

[Molecular And Cellular Biochemistry] Scientists introduce the development of functional β-cells and their heterogeneity and then turn to highlight recent advances in the generation of β-cells from stem cells and their potential applications in disease modeling, drug discovery and clinical therapy.

[Stem Cell Reviews And Reports] Scientists focused on stem cell related methodologies, such as organoids, that could serve as an alternative to animal testing and discuss its advantages and limitations, alongside regulatory considerations.

[Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy] The authors describe the regulatory mechanism of the miRNA-192 family affecting the malignant behavior of breast cancer cells and evaluate the value of the miRNA-192 family as a diagnostic and prognostic biomarker for breast cancer.

[Journal Of Controlled Release] The authors present the interactions among the immune system, intestinal barrier, and gut microbiome. In addition, recent advances in administration routes and methods that positively arouse the regulation of intestinal flora for inflammatory bowel disease using probiotics, prebiotics, and redox-active micro/nanomaterials have been reviewed.
