Pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) are recognized for their potential in regenerative medicine, offering a non-invasive avenue for tissue rejuvenation. While prior research has mainly focused on their effects on bone and dermo-epidermal tissues, the impact of PEMFs on nervous tissue, particularly in the context of neuropathy associated with the diabetic foot, remains relatively unexplored. Addressing this gap, our preliminary in vitro study investigates the effects of complex magnetic fields (CMFs) on glial-like cells derived from mesenchymal cell differentiation, serving as a model for neuropathy of the diabetic foot.

In recent years, attention is increasingly given to the search of microalgae-derived compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties for nutraceutical or pharmacological issues. In this context, attention is usually focused on the composition and bioactivity of algae or their extracts, while less interest is driven to their biological features, for example, those related to morphology and cultivation conditions.

- Exosomes are tiny vesicles released by all cell types, including those from canine fat tissue, that help cells communicate and may impact nearby or distant cells.
- Researchers isolated and characterized exosomes from canine adipose-derived stem cells and treated 295 dogs with liver disorders, monitoring their progress over six months.
- The results showed that these exosomes not only aided in the recovery of dogs by normalizing liver function markers but also suggest a new, effective therapy using cell-free treatments for liver issues in pets.
Article Synopsis
- The study looks at wheat plants that don’t have enough chlorophyll and how that affects the structure of their chloroplasts, which are important for photosynthesis.
- Researchers compared these mutants to normal wheat plants and found that the mutant plants had smaller and oddly shaped stacks of grana (the disks in chloroplasts where photosynthesis happens).
- They discovered that these changes in granum structure are connected to problems with excess light and energy in the plant, which can cause stress.
