Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate, in vitro, the role of bFGF in the proliferation and expression of collagen type I and fibronectin of dog bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (dBMMSCs) in comparison with the expression of the same proteins in dog periodontal fibroblasts (dPLFs).

Design: dBMMSCs from the iliac crest were cultivated in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium (DMEM). Flow cytometry analysis (FCA) was used to characterize dBMMSC. Cells were stimulated with bFGF (1, 5 and 10 ng/mL) after 24 and 48 h. Real time RT-PCR was performed to verify collagen type I and fibronectin expressions. MTT assay was used to confirm cellular proliferation. Statistical analyses were performed (ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis tests; p<0.05).

Results: FCA showed 55.98% of CD34+ and 32.67% of CD90+ after bone marrow aspiration; 3.33% of CD34+ and 33.0% of CD90+ before P1. After P2, 10.54% of dBMMSCs expressed CD90, whereas after P3, this number decreased to 1.58%. dPLFs presented 4.04% of CD90+ and 1.05% of CD34+ after P3. MTT evaluation showed increase in dBMSC proliferation with 5 ng/mL bFGF-stimulus after 24-h. Both collagen I and fibronectin expression were very similar between the two cells groups after 24-h stimulation with 1 ng/mL bFGF concentration. Fibronectin and collagen I expressions were higher after 24-h stimulation with 5 ng/mL bFGF.

Conclusion: dBMMSCs (1 ng/mL-bFGF stimulus after 24 h) are very similar to dPLFs as regards morphological and immunostaining characteristics, and collagen and/or fibronectin production. The dBMMSCs presented the highest protein expression rates with 5 ng/mL-bFGF stimulus after 24-h.

Background: Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has been used as an effective noninvasive method for treating fractures and osteoarthrosis, but the application in the field of oral implantation is in its infancy. This study aimed to clarify the effect and mechanism of LIPUS on the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and implant osseointegration, and to provide an experimental basis for future clinical applications.

Methods: Dental implants were inserted into Wistar rat femurs, and LIPUS was performed for 4 weeks.

Background: Cancer immunotherapy using immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) has revolutionized cancer treatment. However, patients with multiple myeloma (MM) rarely respond to ICB. Accumulating evidence indicates that the complicated tumor microenvironment (TME) significantly impacts the efficacy of ICB therapy.

A man in his 60s suffered from refractory, biopsy-proven subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus that required chronic, moderate dose steroids to manage. His rash was accompanied by arthralgias and negative autoantibody testing. His subacute lupus erythematosus (SCLE) was responsive to tofacitinib, but thrombotic complications limited the use of this medication.

Background: Post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) is a commonly used graft-vs-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis, particularly in the setting of haploidentical (haplo) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). The rate of graft failure has been reported to be as high as 12-20% in haplo-HCT recipients using PTCy. The objective of this study was to determine if donor type influenced the risk of late graft failure following RIC HCT using PTCy-based GVHD prophylaxis.

Background: Ethnic diversity in cancer clinical trials is essential to ensure that therapeutic advances are equitable and broadly applicable in multicultural societies. Yet, missing consensus on the documentation of ethnic origin, partially based on the complexity of the terminology and fear of discrimination, leads to suboptimal patient management of minority populations. Additionally, eligibility criteria, such as stringent laboratory cut-offs, often fail to account for variations across ethnic groups, potentially excluding patients without evidence-based justification.
