Machine learning-powered discovery of a novel berberine derivative inducing SCD-dependent ferroptosis in osteosarcoma.

Journal of translational medicine
BACKGROUND: Despite decades of therapeutic development, osteosarcoma survival remains poor. Although berberine (BBR) shows anti-tumor activity, its efficacy is limited. We addressed this through structural modification and machine learning-guided dis...

Functionalized mesenchymal stem cells for enhanced bone regeneration: advances and challenges.

Stem cell research & therapy
Bone fracture continues to pose a significant clinical challenge in regenerative medicine due to limited repair capacity and inadequate therapeutic options. Among the various therapeutic strategies, mesenchymal stem cells have shown strong potential ...

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...

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...

Divide-and-conquer strategy with engineered ossification center organoids for rapid bone healing through developmental cell recruitment.

Nature communications
Current approaches for bone repair predominantly target localized delivery of growth factors that are aimed at the coupling of angiogenesis and osteogenesis. However, delayed revascularization and regeneration of critical-sized bone defects are still...

Multi-level evidence reveals PANK2 as a potential target of PFOA/PFOS-induced bone metabolism disruption: From network toxicology to in vitro validation.

Ecotoxicology and environmental safety
Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonic acid (PFOS) are two representative per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) that have attracted increasing attention due to their environmental persistence and potential health risks, while ...

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...

Nucleic acid spheres for treating capillarisation of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells in liver fibrosis.

Nature communications
Liver sinusoidal endothelial cells (LSECs) lose their characteristic fenestrations and become capillarized during the progression of liver fibrosis. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation can reverse this capillarization and reduce fibrosis, but...

Predicting genes associated with ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament using graph attention network.

Methods (San Diego, Calif.)
Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament is a degenerative disease that severely impacts the spine, with a complex pathogenesis involving the interplay of multiple genes. This study utilizes a combination of graph neural networks and deep ...

Mechanisms Tackling Salivary Gland Diseases with Extracellular Vesicle Therapies.

Journal of dental research
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are lipid-enclosed particles released from cells, containing lipids, DNA, RNA, metabolites, and cytosolic and cell surface proteins. EVs support intercellular communication and orchestrate organogenesis by transferring bi...
