Review

[Human Cell] Investigators present a critical observation of umbilical cord-MSCs and dental pulp-MSCs by reviewing articles from the last two decades along with other stem cell sources from different biological waste materials.

[Naunyn-Schmiedebergs Archives Of Pharmacology] Mammalian embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells may display their remarkable self-organizing abilities in 3D culture, and the resulting organoids replicate important structural and functional characteristics of organs such the kidney, lung, gut, brain, and retina.

[Molecular Biomedicine] The authors focus on the mechanisms of epigenetic modifications occurring to the pivotal tumor microenvironment (TME) components including the stroma, immune and myeloid cells in various tumors reported in the last five years, concluding the tight correlation between TME reprogramming and tumor progression and immunosuppression.

[Japanese Journal Of Clinical Oncology] The authors describe current pharmacotherapeutic strategies for epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mutated NSCLC based on the results of clinical trials and the latest published data.

[Archives of Virology] The authors discuss literature focusing on clinical observations that suggest associations between SARS-CoV-2 infection and the nervous system.

[Nature Cancer] Regulated cell death (RCD) is essential for successful systemic cancer therapy. Cells which survive RCD pathways harbor important functions, which can be exploited by cancer cells to promote their own survival and growth, with challenges and opportunities for cancer therapy.
