The effects of whole-body gamma-irradiation in different doses on the distribution of (188)Re-labeled mesenchymal stem cells obtained by culturing of the rat bone marrow cells were studied in different organs and tissues of animals after intravenous (systemic) injection. Irradiation stimulated homing of (188)Re-labeled mesenchymal stem cells in organs and tissues of animals in comparison with this process in intact non-irradiated rats. The intensity of homing increased with increasing the irradiation dose and decreased with prolongation of the period between irradiation and systemic transplantation. It was hypothesized that increased migration of transplanted mesenchymal stem cells into irradiated organs and tissues can be caused by developing cell death processes. It seems that systemic transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells shortly after irradiation can be used for stimulation of reparative processes in damaged tissues.

Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a significant health issue that increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, stroke, and renal failure. This condition broadly encompasses both primary and secondary forms. Despite extensive research, the underlying mechanisms of systemic arterial hypertension-particularly primary hypertension, which has no identifiable cause and is affected by genetic and lifestyle agents-remain complex and not fully understood.

Bone marrow mesenchymal stromal cells (BM-MSCs) are integral components of the bone marrow microenvironment, playing a crucial role in supporting hematopoiesis. Recent studies have investigated the potential involvement of BM-MSCs in the pathophysiology of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). However, the exact contribution of BM-MSCs to leukemia progression remains unclear because of conflicting findings and limited characterization.

Bone defects are difficult to treat clinically and most often require bone grafting for repair. However, the source of autograft bone is limited, and allograft bone carries the risk of disease transmission and immune rejection. As tissue engineering technology advances, bone replacement materials are playing an increasingly important role in the treatment of bone defects.

LINC01305 and LAD1 Co-Regulate CTTN and N-WASP Phosphorylation, Mediating Cytoskeletal Reorganization to Promote ESCC Metastasis.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is prone to metastasis and is a leading cause of mortality. The cytoskeleton is closely related to cell morphology and movement; however, little research has been conducted on ESCC metastasis. In this study, we found that the anchoring filament protein ladinin 1 (LAD1) specifically binds to LINC01305 for co-regulating the level of modulating cortactin proteins (CTTN) and neuronal Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein (N-WASP) phosphorylation, which mediates cytoskeletal reorganization and affects the metastasis of ESCC cells.

Non-Canonical TERT Activity Initiates Osteogenesis in Calcific Aortic Valve Disease.

Division of Cardiology, Department of Medicine, Pittsburgh Heart, Lung, Blood and Vascular Medicine Institute, University of Pittsburgh, PA. (R.A.C., C.C.C., R.W., A.C., C.B., C.R., W.J.M., M.J. Bashline, A.P., A.M.P., P.B., M.J. Brown, C.S.H.).

Background: Calcific aortic valve disease is the pathological remodeling of valve leaflets. The initial steps in valve leaflet osteogenic reprogramming are not fully understood. As TERT (telomerase reverse transcriptase) overexpression primes mesenchymal stem cells to differentiate into osteoblasts, we investigated whether TERT contributes to the osteogenic reprogramming of valve interstitial cells.
