Profiling the extracellular vesicles of two human placenta-derived mesenchymal stromal cell populations.

Increasing evidence shows extracellular vesicles (EVs) are primarily responsible for the beneficial effects of cell-based therapies. EVs derived from mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) show promise as a source of EVs for cell-free therapies. The human placental fetal-maternal interface is a rich and abundant source of MSCs from which EVs can be isolated.

High-throughput surface epitope immunoaffinity isolation of extracellular vesicles and downstream analysis.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs), including exosomes, have significant potential for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. The lack of standardized methods for efficient and high-throughput isolation and analysis of EVs, however, has limited their widespread use in clinical practice. Surface epitope immunoaffinity (SEI) isolation utilizes affinity ligands, including antibodies, aptamers, or lectins, that target specific surface proteins present on EVs.

Mannitol Reduces Pain and Trismus After Impacted Mandibular Third Molar Surgery.

Background: The removal of the lower third molar is a routine procedure in oral surgery, yet it often leads to postoperative side effects, particularly inflammation. Despite various interventions explored in prior studies, there is still a need for effective strategies, such as anti-inflammatory substances, to address postoperative side effects.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to answer the following clinical question: Does the local injection of 0.

Analytical Validation of Aptamer-Based Serum Vancomycin Monitoring Relative to Automated Immunoassays.

The practice of monitoring therapeutic drug concentrations in patient biofluids can significantly improve clinical outcomes while simultaneously minimizing adverse side effects. A model example of this practice is vancomycin dosing in intensive care units. If dosed correctly, vancomycin can effectively treat methicillin-resistant streptococcus aureus (MRSA) infections.

The effects of 12 weeks resistance training and vitamin D administration on neuromuscular joint, muscle strength and power in postmenopausal women.

Background: This study aimed to examine the effects of 12 weeks of resistance training (RT) and vitamin D (VitD) supplementation on muscle strength and C-terminal agrin fragment (CAF) and Neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) concentrations as potential biomarkers in postmenopausal women.

Methods: This was a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study. Forty-four healthy postmenopausal women (55.
