Metabolomic characterization of MC3T3-E1pre-osteoblast differentiation induced by ipriflavone-loaded mesoporous nanospheres.

This study reports on the metabolic changes accompanying the differentiation of MC3T3-E1 osteoprogenitor cells induced by mesoporous bioactive glass nanospheres (nMBG) loaded with ipriflavone (nMBG-IP). Ipriflavone (IP) is a synthetic isoflavone known for inhibiting bone resorption, maintaining bone density, and preventing osteoporosis. Delivering IP intracellularly is a promising strategy to modulate bone remodeling at significantly lower doses compared to free drug administration.

Transcriptomic Alterations in Spliceosome Components in Advanced Heart Failure: Status of Cardiac-Specific Alternative Splicing Factors.

Heart failure (HF) is associated with global changes in gene expression. Alternative mRNA splicing (AS) is a key regulatory mechanism underlying these changes. However, the whole status of molecules involved in the splicing process in human HF is unknown.

Circulating long non-coding RNAs detection after heart transplantation and its accuracy in the diagnosis of acute cardiac rejection.

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are closely implicated in biological processes and diseases with high inflammatory components. These molecules exhibit significant temporal and tissue specificity. However, the expression and function of lncRNAs have not been studied in patients after heart transplantation.

Biocompatible adipose extracellular matrix and reduced graphene oxide nanocomposite for tissue engineering applications.

Despite the immense need for effective treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI), no successful repair strategy has yet been clinically implemented. Multifunctional biomaterials, based on porcine adipose tissue-derived extracellular matrix (adECM) and reduced graphene oxide (rGO), were recently shown to stimulate neural stem cell growth and differentiation. Nevertheless, their functional performance in clinically more relevant conditions remains largely unknown.
