Article Synopsis
  • Pancreatic cancer presents challenges such as unusual symptoms, rapid progression, and a lack of reliable early diagnostic methods and effective treatments.
  • Research indicates that exosomes (tiny vesicles secreted by cells) could play significant roles in diagnosing and treating pancreatic cancer, as they may serve as less invasive liquid biopsies and drug carriers.
  • While current studies show promise for using exosomes in early diagnosis and monitoring, more research and clinical trials are needed before they can become standard tools for managing pancreatic cancer.

Exosomes play a key role in colorectal cancer (CRC) related processes. This review explores the various functions of exosomes in CRC and their potential as diagnostic markers, therapeutic targets, and drug delivery vehicles. Exosomal long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) significantly influence CRC progression.

One of the most common age-related neurodegenerative disorders is Alzheimer's disease which globally threatening the health of elderly people. Although there are several pharmacological and non- pharmacological treatments for Alzheimer's disease, they can just decrease the symptoms in these diseases. In this context, cell therapy and regenerative medicine approach as the novel therapeutic strategies for neurodegenerative diseases would be important.

Various mesenchymal stem cells as easily accessible and multipotent cells can share different essential signaling pathways related to their stemness ability. Understanding the mechanism of stemness ability can be useful for controlling the stem cells for regenerative medicine targets. In this context, OMICs studies can analyze the mechanism of different stem cell properties or stemness ability via a broad range of current high-throughput techniques.

Spinal cord injuries and motor neuron-related disorders impact on life of many patients around the world. Since pharmacotherapy and surgical approaches were not efficient to regenerate these types of defects; stem cell therapy as a good strategy to restore the lost cells has become the focus of interest among the scientists. Umbilical cord blood CD133 hematopoietic stem cells (UCB- CD133 HSCs) with self- renewal property and neural lineage differentiation capacity are ethically approved cell candidate for use in regenerative medicine.

Objective: Musculodegenerative diseases threaten the life of many patients in the world. Since drug administration is not efficient in regeneration of damaged tissues, stem cell therapy is considered as a good strategy to restore the lost cells. Since the efficiency of myogenic differentiation potential of human Chorion- derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (C-MSCs) has not been addressed so far; we set out to evaluate myogenic differentiation property of these cells in comparison with Umbilical Cord Blood- derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells (UCB-MSCs) in the presence of 5-azacytidine.
