COVID-19 Vaccines: Where We Stand and Challenges Ahead

Tt remains to be elucidated whether and to what extent the capacity of vaccines under evaluation and of unrelated vaccines such as BCG can increase immunological fitness by training innate immunity to SARS-CoV-2 and pathogen-agnostic protection.

The Anti-Skin Squamous Cell Carcinoma Cell Activity by the SphK1-Targeting microRNA-6784

The authors identified a novel SphK1-targeting microRNA, microRNA-6784 (miR-6784). They showed that miR-6784 was located at the cytoplasm of A431 skin squamous cell carcinoma cells.

Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids and the Intestinal Epithelium—A Review

Scientists assessed the current literature detailing the effects of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) on epithelial cells. Marine-derived ω-3 PUFAs, eicosapentanoic acid and docosahexanoic acid, as well as plant-derived alpha-linolenic acid, are incorporated into intestinal epithelial cell membranes, prevent changes to epithelial permeability, inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and eicosanoids and induce the production of anti-inflammatory eicosanoids and docosanoids.

Adult Tissue-Resident Stem Cells—Fact or Fiction?

It has proved difficult to isolate quiescent stem cells as a physical entity. Recent single-cell RNAseq studies on several adult tissues including ovary, prostate, and cardiac tissues have not been able to detect stem cells. Thus, it has been postulated that adult cells dedifferentiate to stem-like state to ensure regeneration and can be defined as cells capable to replace lost cells through mitosis.
