Background: Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have been extensively used in preclinical and clinical trials for treating various diseases. However, the differences between ADSCs from lean individuals (L-ADSCs) and those from obese individuals (O-ADSCs) have not been thoroughly investigated, particularly regarding their mitochondrial and lysosomal functions. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the differences between L-ADSCs and O-ADSCs in terms of cell biological activity, mitochondria, and lysosomes.

Although hnRNPA2B1, as a reader of m6A modification, has been reported to promote tumorigenesis in a few types of tumors, its role in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and the underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear.
Methods: Multiple public databases were used to analyze the expression of hnRNPA2B1 in HCC and its correlation with survival prognosis.
Finding new agents to enhance the strength of alkali-activated (ground granulated blast furnace slag) GGBS is beneficial for environmental protection. Here, we reveal the effect of pregelatinized starch-modifying calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) particles on the nanostructure tailoring of NaOH-activated GGBS hydrates. The results show that, for the synthetic modified C-S-H, the pregelatinized starch absorbs on the surface of C-S-H, which modifies the silicate chains and crystal structure.

Introduction: There was limited evidence on the quality of reporting and methodological quality of prediction models using machine learning methods in preterm birth. This systematic review aimed to assess the reporting quality and risk of bias of a machine learning-based prediction model in preterm birth.
Material And Methods: We conducted a systematic review, searching the PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Library, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, China Biology Medicine disk, VIP Database, and WanFang Data from inception to September 27, 2021.
Gliomas are the most common primary brain tumors and are highly malignant with a poor prognosis. Pyroptosis, an inflammatory form of programmed cell death, promotes the inflammatory cell death of cancer. Studies have demonstrated that pyroptosis can promote the inflammatory cell death (ICD) of cancer, thus affecting the prognosis of cancer patients.

In vitro propagation is needed to attain enough cells for clinical use. However, cell aging and viability reduction caused by long-time culture have not been thoroughly investigated, especially for the function of mitochondria and lysosomes.

However, the therapeutic effect of topical administration of the secretome derived from tissue stem cells on psoriasis has not been reported.

Cleavage stimulation factor 2 (CSTF2), an important regulator of APA, has been reported to have a tumorigenic function in urothelial carcinoma of the bladder and lung cancers. However, the tumor-promoting role of CSTF2 in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and its underlying molecular mechanism remains unclear.

The tumor microenvironment (TME) provides the "soil" for the survival of malignant tumors, and cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) are the architects of matrix remodeling in TME. Therefore, CAFs have potent regulatory effects on the recruitment and functional differentiation of immune cells, whereby they synthesize and secrete numerous collagens, cytokines, chemokines, and other soluble factors whose interaction with tumor cells creates an immunosuppressive TME.

Interestingly, hnRNPA2B1 also works as an N6-methyladenosine (m6A) reader and is critical during tumorigenesis of various tissue types. However, its role in colon cancer is still unclear.
