Exosomes as a Therapeutic Strategy in Cancer: Potential Roles as Drug Carriers and Immune Modulators.

Exosome-based cancer immunotherapy is advancing quickly on the concept of artificially activating the immune system to combat cancer. They can mechanistically change the tumor microenvironment, increase immune responses, and function as efficient drug delivery vehicles because of their inherent bioactivity, low toxicity, and immunogenicity. Accurate identification of the mechanisms of action of exosomes in tumor environments, along with optimization of their isolation, purification, and characterization methods, is necessary to increase clinical applications.

Sex-dependent susceptibility to brain metabolic dysfunction and memory impairment in response to pre and postnatal high-fat diet.

The developing brain is sensitive to the impacts of early-life nutritional intake. This study investigates whether maternal high fat diet (HFD) causes glucose metabolism impairment, neuroinflammation, and memory impairment in immature and adult offspring, and whether it may be affected by postweaning diets in a sex-dependent manner in adult offspring. After weaning, female rats were fed HFD (55.

Sex-specific effects of high-fat diet on rat brain glucose metabolism and early-onset dementia symptoms.

Peripheral metabolic disturbances are associated with a variety of clinical health consequences and may contribute to the development of neurocognitive disorders. This study investigates whether long-term high-fat diet (HFD) consumption changes the brain glucose metabolism and impairs memory performance in a sex-dependent manner. Male and female rats, after weaning, were fed HFD or normal chow diet (NCD) for 16 weeks.

Effect of Different Times of Intraperitoneal Injections of Human Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cell Conditioned Medium on Gentamicin-Induced Acute Kidney Injury.

Purpose: This study examined the effect of mesenchymal stem cells' conditioned media on the severity of acute kidney injury.

Materials And Methods: Acute kidney injury was induced in male rats with 100 mg/kg of gentamicin for six consecutive days intraperitoneally. After inducing the standard model of acute kidney injury, the conditioned medium of 5 × 106 cells was calculated for each kilogram of body weight of the rats.
