Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been widely used for tissue repair and regeneration. However, the inherent drawbacks, including limited cell survival after cell transplantation, have hindered direct MSC transplantation for tissue repair and regeneration. The aim of this study was to investigate if exosomes isolated from MSCs can promote the proliferation and differentiation of human primary osteoblastic cells (HOBs) and be potentially used for bone tissue regeneration. We showed that adipose tissue-derived MSC (ASC)-derived exosomes (ASC-EXO) were able to promote the proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in HOBs; and the trophic effects of ASC-EXO on HOBs were further harnessed when ASCs were preconditioned with tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) for 3 days, which mimics the acute inflammatory phase upon bone injury. In addition, we showed that Wnt-3a content was elevated in ASC-EXO when ASCs were preconditioned by TNF-α, and inhibiting Wnt signaling decreased the osteogenic gene expression levels in HOBs which were cultured in TNF-α preconditioned ASCs conditioned medium. In conclusion, it was demonstrated that ASC-EXO, especially primed by TNF-α preconditioning on ASCs, offer a promising approach to replace direct stem cell transplantation for bone repair and regeneration.

Although the role of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSC) in accelerating diabetic wound healing has been proven, their synergistic effect is still debated. This study aimed to evaluate the individual and combined effects of LLLT and hADSC on wound healing and on biomechanical parameters in type 2 diabetic rabbits. In this experimental study, 40 rabbits with type 2 diabetes (induced by streptozotocin (STZ)) were included.

The area of wound healing presents a promising field of interest for clinicians as well as the scientific community. A major concern for physicians is the rising number of elderly people suffering from diabetes, leprosy, tuberculosis and the associated chronic wounds. While traditional therapies target basic wound care, innovative strategies that accelerate wound healing are needed.

MXenes, with their good biocompatibility, excellent photovoltaic properties, excellent physicochemical properties, and desirable bioactivity, have broad application prospects in the field of tissue regeneration. MXenes have been used in a wide range of applications including biosensing, bioimaging, tumour/infection therapy, bone regeneration and wound repair. By applying bioactive materials to modify the surface of MXenes, a series of multifunctional MXene-based nanomaterials can be designed for different biomedical applications to achieve better therapeutic effects or more desirable biological functions.

Background And Aims: Members of the CCN matricellular protein family are crucial in various biological processes. This study aimed to characterize vascular cell-specific effects of CCN5 on neointimal formation and its role in preventing in-stent restenosis (ISR) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: Stent-implanted porcine coronary artery RNA-seq and mouse injury-induced femoral artery neointima single-cell RNA sequencing were performed.

Background: The peroneal artery is known to give branches to the anterior and posterior tibial arteries. Scattered reports in the literature over the last decade failed to provide solid evidence as to the optimum strategy for below-knee targeted revascularization in limited-option patients with critical limb-treating ischemia (CLTI). We sought to determine the benefit of performing single peroneal tibial artery angioplasty revascularization compared with single non-peroneal angiosome-targeted tibial artery angioplasty revascularization for patients presented with CLTI.
