High glucose (HG) concentrations impair cellular functions and induce apoptosis. Exposition of mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) to HG was reported to reduce colony forming activity and induce premature senescence. We characterized the effects of HG on human MSC in vitro using telomerase-immortalized MSC (hMSC-TERT) and primary MSC (hMSC). HG (25mM) enhanced hMSC-TERT proliferation in long-term studies in contrast to hMSC where proliferation was unchanged. Thioredoxin-interacting protein, which is involved in apoptosis regulation, was stimulated by glucose in hMSC-TERT. However, apoptosis was not influenced by HG in both cell types. MSC treatment with HG favored osteogenic differentiation. MSC are resistant to HG toxicity, depending on the stemness of MSC. Proliferation and osteogenic differentiation are stimulated by HG. Effects of HG on the transient amplifying compartment of MSC may differ from those in mature cells. Further research is needed to unravel the molecular mechanisms of HG resistance of MSC.

Background: Canine adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (cAD-MSCs) demonstrate promising tissue repair and regeneration capabilities. However, the procurement and preservation of these cells or their secreted factors for therapeutic applications pose a risk of viral contamination, and the consequences for cAD-MSCs remain unexplored. Consequently, this research sought to assess the impact of canid alphaherpesvirus 1 (CHV) on the functional attributes of cAD-MSCs, including gene expression profiles and secretome composition.

Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) are multipotent adult stem cells which possess immunomodulatory and repair capabilities. In this study, we investigated whether MSC therapy could modulate inflammation and lung damage in the lungs of Scnn1b-transgenic mice overexpressing the β-subunit of the epithelial sodium channel (β-ENaC), a model with features of Cystic Fibrosis lung disease. Human bone marrow derived MSC cells were intravenously delivered to mice, prior to collection of bronchoalveolar lavage (BALF) and tissue.

After receiving a diagnosis of breast cancer, patients may experience negative physical, mental, and psychological symptoms. When excessive and uncontrollable, anxiety can become a pathological disorder. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) are psychological approaches that incorporate practices individuals can use to promote awareness, nonjudgmental acceptance, and present-moment focus.

In our tertiary plastic surgery center, patients with wounds that will not be treated surgically, including complex pretibial wounds, that would traditionally have been managed operatively are managed on an outpatient basis in a nurse-led pretibial laceration clinic. We conducted a study to investigate dressing usage and assess correlators with healing time or number of appointments. We collected data regarding dressings used, time to discharge, and number of appointments retrospectively over 14 months between 2019 and 2021.

Embryonic development during the preimplantation stages is highly sensitive and critically dependent on the reception of signaling cues. The precise coordination of diverse pathways and signaling factors is essential for successful embryonic progression. Even minor disruptions in these factors can result in physiological dysfunction, fetal malformations, or embryonic arrest.
