Targeting Ischemic Stroke with Neural Stem Cells: Insights into Endogenous Repair Mechanisms, Biomaterial-Based Delivery, and Exosome Therapies.

Molecular neurobiology
Neurological diseases, such as stroke, are typically deemed refractory because of the adult mammalian brain's poor ability to self-repair and regenerate, resulting in irreparable cellular damage. Neural stem cells (NSCs) have distinct capabilities to...

Deep learning reveals how cells pull, buckle, and navigate fibrous environments.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Cells in tissues navigate fibrous environments fundamentally differently than they do on flat substrates, but the establishment of cell forces in physiological fibrous settings remains poorly understood. Although factors such as the stiffness of the ...

Neural network tissue and myocytes co-culture system reveals effects of different myocytes on postnatal development of spinal cord neural network.

Cellular and molecular life sciences : CMLS
The interaction between spinal cord neural networks and myocytes in postnatal mammals plays a crucial role in development, and the neural regulation of motor and visceral functions. Here, spinal cord neural network tissue (SC-NNT) was constructed wit...

Advancing Cell Therapy to Enhance Passive Avoidance Memory: Integrative Approaches Combining Neural-Like Cells and Rosmarinic Acid Through Behavioral, Molecular, and Histological Analyses.

Neurochemical research
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by progressive neurodegeneration, synaptic dysfunction, and cognitive decline. Regenerative strategies aim to replace lost neurons and modulate the inflammatory milieu to restore neural networks. This study e...

Piezo-Nanowired Stem Cells: Ultrasound-Powered Neuronal Commitment for Rapid Neural Circuit Reconstruction after Traumatic Brain Injury.

ACS nano
The inherently constrained regenerative capacity of neuronal tissue poses a major obstacle to repairing traumatic brain injury. While neural stem cell transplantation holds promise, its efficacy is constrained by slow and inefficient neuronal differe...

Zhilining formula alleviates ulcerative colitis by restricting STAT3 activation and subsequent Th17 cell differentiation.

Phytomedicine : international journal of phytotherapy and phytopharmacology
BACKGROUND: Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic, relapsing inflammatory bowel disease with rising prevalence and limited therapies. Zhilining Formula (ZLN), a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), shows clinical efficacy in UC, yet its core material b...

Microenvironment-driven satellite cell regeneration and repair in aging-related sarcopenia: mechanisms and therapeutic frontiers.

Stem cell research & therapy
Sarcopenia, a progressive age-related decline in skeletal muscle mass and function, is closely linked to impaired regenerative capacity of satellite cells (SCs), also known as satellite cells. Age-dependent SCs dysfunction, driven by intrinsic senesc...

Neural xenografts contribute to long-term recovery in stroke via molecular graft-host crosstalk.

Nature communications
Stroke remains a leading cause of disability due to the brain's limited ability to regenerate damaged neural circuits. Here, we show that local transplantation of iPSC-derived neural progenitor cells (NPCs) improves brain repair and long-term functio...

Single-cell Raman imaging reveals fructose impairs brown adipocyte differentiation.

Biosensors & bioelectronics
Brown adipose tissue (BAT) plays a pivotal role in energy expenditure and metabolic health, yet the influence of specific sugars like fructose on brown adipocyte development remains poorly understood. Here, we employ high-speed line-illumination Rama...

Mechanistic Insights into the Effects of Liquid Crystalline Monomers on Intestinal Stem Cell Differentiation Imbalance by Integrating Machine Learning and Adverse Outcome Pathway Framework Based on Organoids.

Environmental science & technology
The global annual output of liquid crystal monomers (LCMs) continues to increase, yet associated environmental and health risks remain poorly characterized. Assessing the toxic effects of the LCM mixture and individual components is critical for risk...
