Low ‑intensity pulsed ultrasound accelerates diabetic wound healing by ADSC‑derived exosomes via promoting the uptake of exosomes and enhancing angiogenesis
Int J Mol Med. 2024 Mar;53(3):23. doi: 10.3892/ijmm.2024.5347. Epub 2024 Jan 12.ABSTRACTDiabetic wounds remain a great challenge for clinicians globally as a lack of effective radical treatment often results in poor prognosis. Exosomes derived from adipose‑derived stem cells (ADSC‑Exos) have been explored as an appealing nanodrug delivery system in the treatment of diabetic wounds. However, the short half‑life and low utilization efficiency of exosomes limit their therapeutic effects. Low‑intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) provides a non‑invasive mechanical stimulus to cells and exerts a number of biological eff...

[Retracted] Upregulation of miR ‑183‑5p is responsible for the promotion of apoptosis and inhibition of the epithelial‑mesenchymal transition, proliferation, invasion and migration of human endometrial cancer cells by downregulating Ezrin
Int J Mol Med. 2024 Mar;53(3):21. doi: 10.3892/ijmm.2024.5345. Epub 2024 Jan 12.ABSTRACTFollowing the publication of this article, a concerned reader drew to the Editor's attention that, in Fig. 9C on p. 2478 showing the results of Transwell invasion assay experiments, unexpected areas of similarity were identified in terms of the cellular patterns revealed both within the data panels for the six different experiments portrayed in this figure, and comparing among them. After having conducted an internal investigation, the Editor of International Journal of Molecular Medicine has reached the conclusion that the overlapping ...

Comparison of HepaRG and HepG2 cell lines to model mitochondrial respiratory adaptations in non ‑alcoholic fatty liver disease
Int J Mol Med. 2024 Feb;53(2):18. doi: 10.3892/ijmm.2023.5342. Epub 2024 Jan 8.ABSTRACTAlthough some clinical studies have reported increased mitochondrial respiration in patients with fatty liver and early non‑alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), there is a lack of in vitro models of non‑alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) with similar findings. Despite being the most commonly used immortalized cell line for in vitro models of NAFLD, HepG2 cells exposed to free fatty acids (FFAs) exhibit a decreased mitochondrial respiration. On the other hand, the use of HepaRG cells to study mitochondrial respiratory changes followin...

Association of endometriosis with Sj ögren's syndrome: Genetic insights (Review)
Int J Mol Med. 2024 Feb;53(2):20. doi: 10.3892/ijmm.2024.5344. Epub 2024 Jan 8.ABSTRACTPatients with a history of endometriosis have an increased risk of developing various autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis and celiac disease. There is a potential association between endometriosis and an increased susceptibility for Sjögren's syndrome (SS). SS is a common chronic, inflammatory, systemic, autoimmune, multifactorial disease of complex pathology, with genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors contributing to the development of this c...
