Purpose: This study was aimed to develop a hydrogel-nanofiber as an advanced carrier for adipose derived human mesenchymal stem cells (AD-MSCs) and evaluate its potential for immunomodulatory therapies applicable to surface coating of drug eluting stent (DES) against coronary artery diseases (CAD).
Methods: A mixture of dispersing-nanofibers (dNFs) and poly (ethylene glycol)-diacrylate (PEGDA) were blended with sodium alginate to achieve robust mechanical strength. The effects of stem cell niche on cell viability and proliferation rates were evaluated using LDH assay and alamar blue assay, respectively. The amount of Nile-red microparticles (NR-MPs) remained in the hydrogel scaffolds was examined as an index for the physical strength of hydrogels. To evaluate the immunomodulatory activity of AD-MSCs as well as their influence by ROS, the level of L-Kynurenine was determined as tryptophan replacement compounds in parallel with IDO secreted from AD-MSCs using a colorimetric assay of L-amino acid.
Results: Both SA-cys-PEG and SA-cys-dNF-PEG upon being coated on stents using electrophoretic deposition technique displayed superior mechanical properties against the perfused flow. d-NFs had a significant impact on the stability of SA-cys-dNF-PEG, as evidenced by the substantial amount of NR-MPs remained in them. An enhanced subcellular level of ROS by spheroidal cluster yielded the high concentrations of L-Kynurenine (1.67 ± 0.6 μM without H2O2, 5.2 ± 1.14 μM with 50 μM of H2O2 and 8.8 ± 0.51 μM with 100 μM of H2O2), supporting the IDO-mediated tryptophan replacement process.
Conclusion: The "mud-and-straw" hydrogels are robust in mechanical property and can serve as an ideal niche for AD-MSCs with immunomodulatory effects.

Background: Maillard reaction involves the polymerization, condensation, and other reactions between compounds containing free amino groups and reducing sugars or carbonyl compounds during heat processing. This process endows unique flavors and colors to food, while it can also produce numerous hazards. Acrylamide (AAm) is one of Maillard's hazards with neurotoxicity and carcinogenicity, these effects can trigger mutations and alternations in gene expression in human cells and accelerate organ aging.

Phototherapy, including photothermal therapy (PTT) and photodynamic therapy (PDT), has been considered as a noninvasive option for cancer therapy. However, insufficient penetration depth, tumor hypoxia, and a single treatment method severely limit the effectiveness of treatment. In this study, a multifunctional theranostic nanoplatform has been fabricated based on Au/Ag-MnO hollow nanospheres (AAM HNSs).

Background: Though the role of amino acids in Diabetes Mellitus is controversial, the beneficial effect of amino acids in Diabetes Mellitus has been reported based on its anti-glycating property and insulin potentiating effects. In the current study, we evaluated the ROS generation and VEGF expression in CHO-K1 cells induced by high glucose concentration. The effect of amino acids treatment was studied under this condition to evaluate the VEGF lowering effect.

Vertically aligned nanowire array electrodes (NAEs) were prepared by electrodeposition of gold into an anodic aluminium oxide membrane (AAM), providing an ordered three-dimensional (3D) matrix for immobilization of redox proteins. Third-generation H(2)O(2) biosensors were prepared by covalent immobilization of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) on the self-assembled monolayer modified NAEs. Direct electron transfer and electrocatalytic performances of the HRP/NAEs with different nanowire lengths (deposition time of 2, 4 and 5h) were investigated.
