Extracellular Vesicles (EVs) based cancer research reveals several complicated sides of cancer. EVs are classified as several subpopulations such as microvesicles, apoptotic bodies, and exosomes. In cancer, exosomes play a significant role as a cellular messenger in tumor development and progression.

Unlabelled: Jumonji and AT Rich Interacting Domain2 (JARID2), a pivotal accessory component of Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) is a critical factor in cancer development. The objective of the study was to determine the role of JARID2 in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC). RT-PCR, qRT-PCR, immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry, and western blot were used to analyze the gene and protein expression in OSCC clinical samples and OSCC cell lines.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cellular communication molecules and are classified into three major subpopulations, such as microvesicles, apoptotic bodies, and exosomes. Among these, exosomes-based cancer research is a cutting-edge investigation approach to cancer understanding. During cancer progression , tumor-derived exosomes can reprogram the cellular system and promote cancer.

Article Synopsis
  • Tooth enamel, the hardest material in the human body, is secreted by ameloblasts (AMs) but cannot regenerate once damaged due to the absence of these cells in erupted teeth.
  • Researchers used single-cell RNA sequencing to analyze the developing human tooth and discovered key signaling pathways crucial for the differentiation of ameloblasts during fetal development.
  • They also created a disease model for amelogenesis imperfecta using a 3D organoid system, which shows the potential for future advancements in regenerative dentistry.

Cancer has become a prominent cause of death, accounting for approximately 10 million deaths worldwide as per the World Health Organization report 2020. Epigenetics deal with the alterations of heritable phenotypes, except for DNA alterations. Currently, we are trying to comprehend the role of utmost significant epigenetic genes involved in the burgeoning of human cancer.

Breast cancer (BC) remains the most challenging global health crisis of the current decade, impacting a large population of females annually. In the field of cancer research, the discovery of extracellular vesicles (EVs), specifically exosomes (a subpopulation of EVs), has marked a significant milestone. In general, exosomes are released from all active cells but tumour cell-derived exosomes (TDXs) have a great impact (TDXs miRNAs, proteins, lipid molecules) on cancer development and progression.

Exosomes are the phospholipid-membrane-bound subpopulation of extracellular vesicles derived from the plasma membrane. The main activity of exosomes is cellular communication. In cancer, exosomes play an important rolefrom two distinct perspectives, one related to carcinogenesis and the other as theragnostic and drug delivery tools.

Extracellular vehicles (EVs) are nanoscale lipid bilayer vesicles that carry biologically active biomolecule cargos like proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids (DNA, RNA) outside of the cell. Blood (serum/plasma), urine, and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid are all examples of biofluids from which they may be collected. EVs play a vital role in intracellular communication.

Cancer, a set of diseases characterized by abnormal cell growth resulting from alteration in the expression pattern of diverse genes, is one of the prominent causes of mortality and morbidity worldwide. This modification of various genes leads to altered signalling cascades and changes in the molecular network. These changes eventually give rise to cellular dysfunction and then to systemic failure causing death.

Background: Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is a malignant oral cavity neoplasm that affects many people, especially in developing countries. Despite several advances that have been made in diagnosis and treatment, the morbidity and mortality rates due to OSCC remain high. Accumulating evidence indicates that aberrant activation of cellular signaling pathways, such as the Notch, Wnt and Hedgehog pathways, occurs during the development and metastasis of OSCC.

Stem cells have emerged as a promising source of cell-based therapy in regenerative medicine with several stem cell-based products currently in clinical trials. Despite the immense therapeutic potential, their isolation from some of the emerging sources and their characterization has been naïve owing to the lack of standard markers for the same. Some biomarkers have now been well established for the isolation and characterization of stem cells.

Studies conducted in the past decade have reported nucleostemin (NS) as a nucleolar protein that has a role in self-renewal and cell cycle regulation in cancer/stem cells, but is absent in differentiated cells. The localization and expression patterns of NS have always been disputed, as reports indicate its varied levels among tissues and cells. This study evaluates the expression and localization pattern of NS in normal cells, cancer cell lines, and stem cells.

Tissue resident adult stem cells are known to participate in tissue regeneration and repair that follows cell turnover, or injury. It has been well established that aging impedes the regeneration capabilities at the cellular level, but it is not clear if the different onset of stem cell aging between individuals can be predicted or prevented at an earlier stage. Here we studied the dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), a population of adult stem cells that is known to participate in the repair of an injured tooth, and its properties can be affected by aging.
