Tamoxifen (TAM) is employed to treat premenopausal ER-positive breast cancer patients, but TAM resistance is the main reason affecting its efficacy. Thus, addressing TAM resistance is crucial for improving therapeutic outcomes. This study explored the potential role of Tinagl1, a secreted extracellular matrix protein, whose expression is compromised in TAM-resistant MCF-7 breast cancer cells (MCF-7R).

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a lethal pathological change of fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) with abundant fibroblasts proliferation after severely or continually alveolar epithelial cells (AECs) injury. Barely therapies are helpful for PF. Here we use bleomycin intratracheally injection to model PF with or without human umbilical cord-mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) and/or nintedanib intervention.

Stem cell transplantation is a promising strategy to establish neural relays in situ for spinal cord injury (SCI) repair. Recent research has reported short-term survival of exogenous cells, irrespective of immunosuppressive drugs (ISD), results in similar function recovery, though the mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to validate this short-term repair effect and the potential mechanisms in large animals.
