BACKGROUND: Ischemia/reperfusion injury (IRI) is the leading cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). The current standard of care focuses on supporting kidney function, stating the need for more efficient and targeted therapies to enhance repair. Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) and ...
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 ...
Spermatogonial stem cells (SSCs) possess the capacity for spontaneous reprogramming during in vitro culture, while the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood, especially why addition of epidermal growth factor (EGF), leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) remarkably enhanced transition efficien...
