Article Synopsis
  • Artemia is a microcrustacean known for its embryos' ability to withstand extreme conditions, thanks in part to a protective protein called artemin.
  • Researchers cloned the artemin gene and introduced it into Arabidopsis thaliana to study its impact on heat stress tolerance.
  • Results showed that transgenic plants with the artemin gene had improved germination rates, root growth, and stress-related gene expression, indicating enhanced heat stress resistance compared to wild-type plants.*

Article Synopsis
  • * A systematic review analyzed various studies to assess the role of M2 macrophages in NeP after spinal cord injuries, identifying eleven relevant papers that highlight potential treatments targeting these immune cells.
  • * The research suggests that modulating M2 macrophages through various therapeutic strategies can enhance recovery and reduce pain, though caution is advised due to possible bias in the studies reviewed.

Neuropathic pain, a debilitating condition, remains a significant challenge due to the lack of effective therapeutic solutions. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of mesenchymal stromal cell (MSC)-derived conditioned medium in alleviating neuropathic pain induced by sciatic nerve compression injury in adult male rats. Forty Wistar rats were randomly assigned to four groups: control, nerve injury, nerve injury with intra-neural injection of conditioned medium, and nerve injury with intra-neural injection of culture medium.
