Extracellular RNAs are emerging as novel biomarkers and mediators of intercellular communication. Various methods to isolate RNA from biofluids and cell culture supernatants have been previously used by investigators. Here, we describe several standardized protocols for the isolation of RNAs from cell culture supernatants that utilize commercially available kits and reagents.

Wound healing is a highly coordinated process driven by intricate molecular signaling and dynamic interactions between diverse cell types. Nod-like receptor pyrin domain-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) has been implicated in the regulation of inflammation and tissue repair; however, its specific role in skin wound healing remains unclear. This study highlights the pivotal role of NLRP3 in effective skin wound healing, as demonstrated by delayed wound closure and altered cellular and molecular responses in NLRP3-deficient (NLRP3) mice.

Male factor accounts for 30-50% of infertility cases and may occur due to congenital anomalies or acquired disorders. In such infertility cases where a limited number of mature sperm is produced, a solution is offered to patients with ART applications; however, these methods are inadequate in patients with germ cell aplasia due to damaged microenvironment. Since monolayer cell culture and static culture conditions do not provide the physical conditions of the 3D microenvironment, they have a limited effect on ensuring the execution of in vitro spermatogenesis properly.

Blood transfusion plays a vital role in modern medicine, but frequent shortages occur. Ex vivo manufacturing of red blood cells (RBCs) from universal donor cells offers a potential solution, yet the high cost of recombinant cytokines remains a barrier. Erythropoietin (EPO) signaling is crucial for RBC development, and EPO is among the most expensive media components.

Gelatin/κ-carrageenan (Gel/KC) hydrogel has exhibited a significant potential in tissue engineering, however, there is still a need to further enhance its structural properties. This study developed a Gel/KC dual-network hydrogel with superior mechanical properties and structural stability, which was integrated with 3D printing to evaluate its ability to promote wound healing. The hydrogels with seven different Gel and KC ratios were prepared and characterized using rheological testing, thermal analysis, spectral analysis, micromorphology observation, and X-ray diffraction.

The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a specialized network that maintains central nervous system homeostasis. Disruption of the BBB can lead to neuronal damage and contribute to neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson's disease (PD), characterized by alpha-synuclein (αSN) aggregation, which forms intracellular inclusions. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown promise in alleviating the severity of neurological diseases through their paracrine secretions.
