Article Synopsis
  • Exosomes derived from endometrial regenerative cells (ERC-Exos) have potential immunomodulatory effects, particularly in treating inflammatory bowel diseases like colitis, and the role of insulin-like growth factor-Ⅱ (IGF2) in this process was explored.
  • In experiments with mice experiencing colitis, treatment with ERC-Exos led to significant improvements in symptoms and intestinal health compared to untreated mice, but the protective effects were reduced when IGF2 was knocked out from the exosomes.
  • Additionally, the presence of IGF2 in ERC-Exos was found to influence immune cell populations, reducing harmful T helper cell types and dendritic cell activity, suggesting a beneficial immunological shift towards a more anti-inflammatory environment

The impact of siderophore produced by arsenic-resistant bacterium Pseudomonas PG12 on FeAsO4 dissolution and plant growth were examined. Arsenic-hyperaccumulator Pteris vittata was grown for 7 d in 0.2-strength Fe-free Hoagland solution containing FeAsO4 mineral and PG12-siderophore or fungal-siderophore desferrioxamine B (DFOB).
