Nanoparticle-Mediated Regulation of Intracellular Ferric Ions to Induce Motor Neuron Differentiation for Spinal Cord Injury Repair.

ACS nano
Stem cell therapy is a prospective approach to the treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI), which features grievous harm of motor and sensory functions. However, the proportion of motor neurons spontaneously differentiated from neural stem cells (NSCs)...

Human iPSC-derived spinal neural progenitors enhance sensorimotor recovery in spinal cord-injured NOD-SCID mice via differentiation and microenvironment regulation.

Cell death & disease
Spinal cord injury (SCI) remains a significant clinical challenge and poses a dramatic threat to the life quality of patients due to limited neural regeneration and detrimental post-injury alternations in tissue microenvironment. We developed a thera...

Non-genetic neuromodulation with graphene optoelectronic actuators for disease models, stem cell maturation, and biohybrid robotics.

Nature communications
Light can serve as a tunable trigger for neurobioengineering technologies, enabling probing, control, and enhancement of brain function with unmatched spatiotemporal precision. Yet, these technologies often require genetic or structural alterations o...

Deep manifold learning reveals hidden developmental dynamics of a human embryo model.

Science advances
In this study, postimplantation human epiblast and amnion development are modeled using a stem cell-based embryoid system. A dataset of 3697 fluorescent images, along with tissue, cavity, and cell masks, is generated from experimental data. A computa...

Integrative transcriptomic analysis reveals oligodendrocyte lineage switching in multiple sclerosis.

Life science alliance
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system. The occurrence of MS is a phased process while its cause is still unclear. Here, by combining white matter single-nucleus transcriptomic datasets from MS and control samples,...

Prediction of the hypothalamus-pituitary organoid formation using machine learning.

Cell reports methods
Multi-cellular organoids are self-assembly aggregates that mimic biological functions and developmental processes of many tissue types in vitro. They are widely employed for disease modeling and functional studies. Hypothalamus-pituitary organoids ca...

Early and non-destructive prediction of the differentiation efficiency of human induced pluripotent stem cells using imaging and machine learning.

Scientific reports
The reproducibility and robustness of many directed differentiation protocols from human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) remain low, and the long differentiation induction period significantly limits protocol optimization. To address this, we...

Non-destructive monitoring of cartilage tissue engineering via near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopic assessment of culture medium.

Biosensors & bioelectronics
Degenerative joint diseases are major contributors to pain, impaired mobility, and an increasing socioeconomic burden in aging populations. Tissue Engineering (TE) offers alternative solutions to restore joint functions. However, current TE approache...

Discovering novel type I collagen fragments from Cyprinus carpio supporting bone regeneration.

Functional & integrative genomics
Fish collagen is gaining increasing attention in tissue engineering due to its exceptional bioactivity. This study aimed to isolate functional fish collagen fragments capable of microbial biosynthesis and supporting bone tissue regeneration. Collagen...

Molecular mechanisms of deer antler in promoting osteogenic differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells via JUN modulation.

Frontiers in immunology
BACKGROUND: Traditional Chinese medicine and food deer antler has been extensively used in bone regeneration, but its molecular mechanisms remain poorly understood. Preliminary investigations suggest deer antler contains bioactive compounds that infl...
