Topical tretinoin for treating photoaging: A systematic review of randomized controlled trials.

Unlabelled: Aging, an inevitable and continuous process in one's lifetime, has all along been a focus of interest, especially for women, yet photoaging treatment to slow the process remains challenging. Recent studies have demonstrated the potency of topical tretinoin in the treatment of photoaging. Tretinoin, a metabolite of retinoids, shows prominent efficacy to regulate proliferation and differentiation of epidermal cells and induce new collagen formation.

Curcumin Prevents Epithelial-to Mesenchymal Transition-Mediated Ovarian Cancer Progression through NRF2/ETBR/ET-1 Axis and Preserves Mitochondria Biogenesis in Kidney after Cisplatin Administration.

Ovarian carcinoma is one of the gynaecological malignancies that have the highest mortality rates due to its progressivity. Endothelin signalling plays a leading role in the progression of ovarian cancer through Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT). Cisplatin commonly used as potent chemotherapy; however, its application hindered by its nephrotoxic effect.

Amnion bilayer for dressing and graft replacement for delayed grafting of full-thickness burns; A study in a rat model.

Burn is a common case in developing countries, with over half of fire-related deaths reported in Southeast Asia and full-thickness burns as a high mortality risk. Human amnion has been used as a wound dressing for centuries. In this study, a decellularised amnion overlaid with fibrin, "amnion bilayer (AB)," was used as a dressing immediately after burn and as a graft to replace the scar in Sprague-Dawley rats subjected to full-thickness burn model.

Transport viable heart tissue at physiological temperature yielded higher human cardiomyocytes compared to the conventional temperature.

This study investigated the optimum transport condition for heart tissue to recover single-cell cardiomyocytes for future in-vitro or in-vivo studies. The heart tissues were obtained from removing excessive myocardium discharged during the repair surgery of an excessive right atrial hypertrophy due to a congenital disease. The transportation temperature studied was the most used temperature (4 °C) or the conventional condition, compared to a physiological temperature(37 °C).

Characterisation of the single-cell human cardiomyocytes taken from the excess heart tissue of the right ventricular outlet in congenital heart disease.

Unlabelled: Cardiovascular disease is the second highest cause of death across the globe. Myocardial infarction is one of the heart diseases that cause permanent impairment of the heart wall leads to heart failure. Cellular therapy might give hope to regenerate the damaged myocardium.

Preparation of Cell-Seeded Heart Patch In Vitro; Co-Culture of Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell and Cardiomyocytes in Amnion Bilayer Patch.

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is the second killer across the globe, while coronary disease is the major cause. Cell therapy is one alternative to regenerate the infarcted heart wall.

Materials And Methods: In this study, the cardiomyogenesis capacity of human adipose stem cells (hAdSC) and human cardiomyocytes (hCardio) cultured in a 3-D biological scaffold (decellularised amnion bilayer) for nine days in a static condition was investigated.
