IFN-γ enhances the therapeutic efficacy of MSCs-derived exosome via miR-126-3p in diabetic wound healing by targeting SPRED1.

Background And Aims: The traditional treatment of diabetic wounds is unsatisfactory. Exosomes isolated from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) promote the healing of diabetic wounds. However, whether the exosomes secreted by interferon (IFN)-γ-pretreated BMSCs have an enhanced therapeutic effect on diabetic wound healing and the relevant mechanisms remain unclear.

Influencing factors for hepatic fat accumulation in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease has become the most common chronic liver disease worldwide, which originates from the accumulation of triglyceride (TG) in the liver. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are considered to have a predisposition to hepatic steatosis. However, the influencing factors for hepatic fat accumulation in T2DM patients remain unclear.

Correlation of serum delta-like ligand-4 level with the severity of diabetic retinopathy.

Background: Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most serious microvascular complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Delta-like ligand-4 (DLL4) maintains the normal physiological microenvironment of the retina. However, the relationship between the level of DLL4 and the severity of DR remains unclear.
