Isolation, identification, and challenges of extracellular vesicles: emerging players in clinical applications.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) serve as critical mediators of intercellular communication, encompassing exosomes, microvesicles, and apoptotic vesicles that play significant roles in diverse physiological and pathological contexts. Numerous studies have demonstrated that EVs derived from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-EVs) play a pivotal role in facilitating tissue and organ repair, alleviating inflammation and apoptosis, enhancing the proliferation of endogenous stem cells within tissues and organs, and modulating immune function-these functions have been extensively utilized in clinical applications. The precise classification, isolation, and identification of MSC-EVs are essential for their clinical applications.

PINN Model of Diffusion Coefficient Identification Problem in Fick's Laws.

This study tackles the complex task of determining diffusion coefficients in inverse problems, addressing the challenges of instability and computational demands. The primary objective is to introduce an efficient model for estimating diffusion coefficients under specific conditions. Through a unique fusion of Fick's laws and a Neural Network framework, a physics-informed neural network (PINN) is developed for the diffusion coefficient identification problem.

Posterior corneal elevation changes during 12 month of overnight orthokeratology.

Aims: the aim of this study to investigate the elevation changes in posterior corneal surface after 12 months of orthokeratology (ortho-k) treatment.

Methods: In this retrospective chart review, medical records of 37 Chinese children who wore ortho-k lenses over 12 months were reviewed. The data of only right eye were analyzed.

Robot-assisted in situ bioprinting of gelatin methacrylate hydrogels with stem cells induces hair follicle-inclusive skin regeneration.

Large skin defects caused by accidents or disease can cause fluid loss, water and electrolyte disorders, hypoproteinemia and serious infection and remain a difficult problem in clinical practice. In situ bioprinting is a promising, recently developed technology that involves timely, customized, and morphologically adapted bioprinting of bioink into tissue defects to promote the recovery of human tissues or organs. During this process, bioink is a key factor.
