miR-194-3p regulates epithelial-mesenchymal transition in embryonic epicardial cells via p120/ β-catenin signaling
In conclusion, miR-194-3p directly targets p120-catenin and modulates its expression, which in turn alters β-catenin expression, critically influencing the EMT process in the embryonic epicardial cells via the cell adhesion mechanism.PMID:38676398 | DOI:10.3724/abbs.2024051 (Source: Acta Biochimica et Biophysica Sinica)

Preparation of modified chitosan-based nano-TiO < sub > 2 < /sub > -nisin composite packaging film and preservation mechanism applied to chilled pork
Int J Biol Macromol. 2024 Apr 25:131873. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131873. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHere, we developed a nano-TiO2-nisin-modified chitosan composite packaging film and investigated its properties and antibacterial activity, as well as its effect on chilled pork preservation time. The results indicated that the preservation time of chilled pork coated with a nano-TiO2-nisin-modified chitosan film (including 0.7 g/L nano-TiO2, irradiated with ultraviolet light for 40 min, and dried for 6 h) followed by modified atmosphere packaging (50% CO2 + 50% N2) increased from 7 to 20 days at 4 °C.

Role of intracranial bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in stroke recovery: A focus on post-stroke inflammation and mitochondrial transfer
Brain Res. 2024 Apr 25;1837:148964. doi: 10.1016/j.brainres.2024.148964. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTStem cell therapy has become a hot research topic in the medical field in recent years, with enormous potential for treating a variety of diseases. In particular, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have wide-ranging applications in the treatment of ischemic stroke, autoimmune diseases, tissue repair, and difficult-to-treat diseases. BMSCs can differentiate into multiple cell types and exhibit strong immunomodulatory properties. Although BMSCs can regulate the inflammatory response activated after stroke, the mecha...

Socioeconomic and Other Risk Factors for Retear after Arthroscopic Surgery for Nontraumatic Rotator Cuff Tear
Conclusions: Age, initial tear size, and symptom duration significantly affect retear risk after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Occupation and type of medical insurance were also risk factors for retear. Socioeconomically vulnerable patients may be at a greater risk of retear. Proactive efforts are required to expand early access to medical care.PMID:38674286 | PMC:PMC11052191 | DOI:10.3390/medicina60040640 (Source: Medicina (Kaunas))

The circAno6/miR-296-3p/TLR4 signaling axis mediates the inflammatory response to induce the activation of hepatic stellate cells
CONCLUSION: This study suggests that circAno6 and miR-296-3p/TLR4 may form a regulatory axis and regulate the inflammatory response, which in turn induces HSC activation. Targeting circAno6 may be a potential therapeutic strategy to treat LF.PMID:38677350 | DOI:10.1016/j.gene.2024.148497 (Source: Gene)

Therapeutic potential: The role of mesenchymal stem cells from diverse sources and their derived exosomes in diabetic nephropathy
Biomed Pharmacother. 2024 Apr 26;175:116672. doi: 10.1016/j.biopha.2024.116672. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDiabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most common microvascular complications in diabetic patients, with its incidence continuously increasing in recent years. DN causes renal tissue damage and functional decline, expedites the aging process of the kidneys, and may ultimately progress leading to end-stage renal disease, severely impacting the patient's quality of life and prognosis. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are highly valued for their multipotent differentiation, paracrine functions, immunomodulatory effects...

A novel LINC02321 promotes cell proliferation and decreases cisplatin sensitivity in bladder cancer by regulating RUVBL2
In this study, A high expression of LINC02321 was found in BC tissues, which was associated with poor prognosis in patients. LINC02321 promoted both proliferation and G1-G0 progression in BC cells, while also inhibited sensitivity to cisplatin. Mechanistically, LINC02321 can bind to RUVBL2 and regulate the expression levels of RUVBL2 protein by affecting its half-life. RUVBL2 is involved in the DNA damage response. The potential of DNA damage repair pathways to exert chemosensitization has been demonstrated in vivo. The rescue experiment demonstrated that RUVBL2 overexpression can markedly abolish the decreased cell prolif...
