Therapeutic administration of mitochondria has been increasingly explored. However, how these administered mitochondria impact immune response remains to be fully addressed. In this proof-of-concept study, we show that extracellularly added mitochondria to cultured peritoneal macrophages increase phagocytosis and recycling exocytosis that amplifies neuroplasticity mediated by recycled mitochondria transfer.

Background: The insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) is overexpressed in 90% of adrenocortical carcinomas (ACC) and promotes cell proliferation via IGF1R and isoform A of insulin receptor (IRA). However, IGF2 role in ACC tumourigenesis has not been completely understood yet, and the contribution of IGF1R and IRA in mediating ACC cell growth has been poorly explored. This study aimed to investigate IGF1R and IR expression and localisation, including the expression of IR isoforms, in ACC and adrenocortical adenomas (ACA), and their role in IGF2-driven proliferation.

A preformulative study was conducted to produce and characterize ethosomes for the transdermal delivery of gossypin. This plant-derived compound possesses many pharmacological properties, including antitumoral potential. Ethosome dispersions were designed as transdermal delivery systems for gossypin, employing two different production procedures.
