hWJMSCs inhibit inflammation and apoptosis in an ARDS cell model.

Unlabelled: Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a type of lung failure caused by fluids and hypoxemia. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been shown to decrease levels of pro-inflammatory mediators and inflammatory cells. These cells have anti-inflammatory, anti-apoptotic, and anti-microbial activity, and protect against lung injury.

Protective effect of yacon leaves extract ( (Poepp.) H. Rob) through antifibrosis, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant mechanisms toward diabetic nephropathy.

Background And Purpose: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a chronic kidney failure, which may lead to fatality. Mesangial cell proliferation, renal inflammation, stress oxidative, and fibrosis are involved in DN progression. Yacon leaves ( (Poepp.
