Background And Objective: Adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (ASCs-Exos) possess angiogenic potential, which can enhance the retention rate of fat grafts. Hypoxic preconditioning can augment their functionality. However, the optimal conditions for hypoxic preconditioning and the specific mechanisms by which it exerts its effects are not well defined.

Background: Tumor-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) play an essential role in reprogramming the tumor microenvironment. Metabolic reprogramming is an essential prerequisite for M2 polarization of tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs). This M2 phenotype is closely related to the immune dysfunction of CD8 T cells and subsequent tumor progression.

Lysosomes are implicated in a wide spectrum of human diseases including monogenic lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs), age-associated neurodegeneration and cancer. Profiling lysosomal content using tag-based lysosomal immunoprecipitation (LysoTagIP) in cell and animal models has substantially moved the field forward, but studying lysosomal dysfunction in human patients remains challenging. Here, we report the development of the 'tagless LysoIP' method, designed to enable the rapid enrichment of lysosomes, via immunoprecipitation, using the endogenous integral lysosomal membrane protein TMEM192, directly from clinical samples and human cell lines (e.

Transplantation of induced pluripotent stem cell-derived neural cells represents a promising strategy for treating neurodegenerative diseases. However, reprogramming of somatic cells and their subsequent neural differentiation is complex and time-consuming, thereby impeding autologous applications. Recently, direct transcription factor-based conversion of blood cells into induced neural stem cells (iNSCs) has emerged as a potential alternative.

Pancreatic islet transplantation is a promising cell replacement therapy for patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D), an autoimmune disease that destroys insulin-producing islet β cells. However, the shortage of donor pancreatic islets significantly limits the widespread use of this strategy as a routine therapy. Pluripotent stem cell-derived insulin-producing islet organoids present a promising alternative β cell source for T1D patients.
