The aim of this study is to investigate the distribution and roles of podoplanin/D2-40-positive pericryptal stromal cells in superficial colorectal epithelial neoplasia. A total of 105 superficial colorectal epithelial tumors were examined: 65 tubular/tubulovillous adenomas, 32 adenocarcinomas in situ, and 8 submucosally invasive adenocarcinomas. Immunohistochemical analysis was performed using the monoclonal antibody to podoplanin/clone D2-40, which is reactive in both lymphatic endothelial cells and activated stromal cells, but negative in vascular endothelial cells. We found 50 (78 %) of 65 tubular/tubulovillous adenomas, 30 (94 %) of 32 adenocarcinomas in situ, and all 8 (100 %) submucosally invasive adenocarcinomas had podoplanin/D2-40-positive pericryptal stromal cells, whereas all normal colorectal mucosae had no podoplanin/D2-40-positive pericryptal stromal cells. The presence of podoplanin/D2-40-positive pericryptal stromal cells is associated with epithelial tumorigenesis in the colorectum.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic, chronic inflammatory disease characterized by altered levels of inflammatory cytokines. One of the key cytokines involved in the pathogenesis of RA is tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α), which plays a crucial role in the differentiation of T cells and B cells and serves as a primary trigger of inflammation and joint damage in RA. Human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) have shown potential in alleviating the symptoms of RA.

Mesenchymal stromal cell-derived small extracellular vesicles (MSC-sEVs) are pivotal for the curative effects of mesenchymal stromal cells, but their translation into clinical products is hindered by the technical challenges of scaled production and purification. Ultrafiltration, a pressure-driven membrane separation method, is well known as an efficient, scalable, and cost-effective approach for bioseparation. However, there has been little study so far that comprehensively evaluates the potential application of ultrafiltration for scaled sEV isolation and purification.

Background: Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is associated with high morbidity and mortality rates. Increasing evidence indicates that neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) play a critical role in tumor progression, metastasis and immunosuppression in the LUAD tumor microenvironment (TME). Nevertheless, the use of NET formation-related genes (NFRGs) to predict LUAD patient survival and response to immunotherapy has not been explored.

Airway inflammation, a hallmark feature of asthma, drives many canonical features of the disease, including airflow limitation, mucus plugging, airway remodeling, and hyperresponsiveness. The T2 inflammatory paradigm is firmly established as the dominant mechanism of asthma pathogenesis, largely due to the success of inhaled corticosteroids and biologic therapies targeting components of the T2 pathway, including IL-4, IL-5, IL-13, and thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP). However, up to 30% of patients may lack signatures of meaningful T2 inflammation (ie, T2 low).

Periodontal disease is a highly prevalent disease worldwide that seriously affects people's oral health, including gingivitis and periodontitis. Although the current treatment of periodontal disease can achieve good control of inflammation, it is difficult to regenerate the periodontal supporting tissues to achieve a satisfactory therapeutic effect. In recent years, due to the good tissue regeneration ability, the research on Mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) and MSC-derived exosomes has been gradually deepened, especially its ability to interact with the microenvironment of the body in the complex immunoregulatory network, which has led to many new perspectives on the therapeutic strategies for many diseases.
