BACKGROUND: Perioperative neurocognitive disorder (PND) is a key complication affecting older individuals after anesthesia and surgery. Failure to translate multiple pharmacological therapies for PND from preclinical studies to clinical settings has necessitated the exploration o...
Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is highly aggressive, with treatment resistance and recurrence driven by metabolically plastic glioma stem cells (GSCs). Inspired by brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis, researchers transplanted BAT-derived mitochondria (BA-Mito) into GSCs, reducing stemness mar...
BACKGROUND: Periodontal ligament mesenchymal stem cells (PDLSCs) are a promising cell resource for cell-based regenerative medicine in dentistry. PDLSCs inevitably acquire a senescent phenotype after prolonged in vitro expansion, and the key regulators of cells during replicative...
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive and fatal interstitial lung disease. Current treatment options remain limited, driving interest in novel therapeutic approaches. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) possess immunomodulatory and regenerative properties, while metformin, traditionally ...
