Cellular therapy with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is a huge challenge for scientists, as little translational relevance has been achieved. However, many studies using MSCs have proved their suppressive and regenerative capacity. Thus, there is still a need for a better understanding of MSCs biology and the establishment of newer protocols, or to test unexplored tissue sources.

Article Synopsis
  • Cigarette smoke causes chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which is a serious health issue with significant economic and social impacts, highlighting the need for new treatment options.
  • Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) show potential for treating COPD due to their healing properties, and their effectiveness can be enhanced through adjuvant therapies like low-level laser (LLL) therapy, which is safe and affordable.
  • Research using mice exposed to cigarette smoke demonstrated that combining MSC therapy with LLL irradiation significantly reduces lung inflammation, cellular infiltrates, and tissue damage, suggesting this combination could be an effective approach for treating COPD.

Purpose: To assess the potential effects of short-term exposure to particulate air pollution during follicular phase on clinical, laboratory, and pregnancy outcomes of women undergoing IVF/ET.

Methods: Retrospective cohort study of 400 first IVF/ET cycles of women exposed to ambient particulate matter during follicular phase. Particulate matter (PM) was categorized into quartiles (Q(1): < or =30.

The objective of this retrospective cohort study was to assess the potential effects of preconceptional short-term exposure to particulate air pollution in a real-world situation on pregnancy outcome in infertile women evaluating the possible role of IVF/embryo transfer treatment on this outcome using women who had conceived naturally for the first time during the same time frame as a matched control group. The study provides evidence for an association between brief exposure to high levels of ambient particulate matter (aerodynamic diameter View Article and Find Full Text PDF
