Initially identified as a cell and organ size controller, Hippo pathway turns into a hotspot for researchers. Within recent years, more and more mechanisms about Hippo pathway were uncovered. Even though Hippo signaling has been revealed to exert controversial roles according to different cell context and microenvironment, which is because of its diversified interplays with a great variety of signaling transduction cascades; mechanisms other than size-limitation, however, remain to be elucidated. Recently, a growing number of studies tend to put Hippo on inflammatory and immunological focus: its antimicrobial role in flies, its pro- or anti-inflammation in mammals, as well as its relevance to cancerous immunity. From inflammation to tumor immunogenicity, Hippo has been gradually justified to play a crucial role. This review summarized the latest findings regarding the involvement of Hippo pathway in immunity, and a more comprehensive understanding of Hippo pathway will shed light on clinical translational potential even precision medicine.

The mammalian Hippo kinases, MST1 and MST2, regulate organ development and suppress tumor formation by balancing cell proliferation and death. In macrophages, inflammasomes detect molecular patterns from invading pathogens or damaged host cells and trigger programmed cell death. In addition to lytic pyroptosis, the signatures associated with apoptosis are induced by inflammasome activation, but how the inflammasomes coordinate different cell death processes remains unclear.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the impact of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) treatment on the miRNA and mRNA profiles of stem cell-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs). Specifically, it sought to identify key miRNAs and their target mRNAs associated with enhanced therapeutic efficacy in LIPUS-treated stem cell-derived EVs.

Methods: Utilizing miRNA deep-sequencing data from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, differential gene analysis was performed.

School of Basic Medicine, Jiamusi University, Jiamusi, Heilongjiang, 154000, People's Republic of China.

Background: Doxorubicin (DOX) is a chemotherapeutic agent widely used for cancer treatment and has non-negligible cardiotoxicity. Some previous studies have reported that cannabidiol (CBD) has cardioprotective effects. In this study, we evaluated the protective effects of CBD against DOX-induced cardiomyocyte injury, and explored the downstream molecular mechanism.

Background: Adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC) transplantation presents a promising approach for osteoporosis (OP) treatment. However, the therapeutic efficacy of ADSCs is hindered by low post-transplantation survival rates and limited capacities for adhesion, migration, and differentiation. Icariin (ICA), the primary active compound of Epimedium, has been shown to promote cell proliferation and induce osteogenic differentiation; however, its specific effects on ADSC osteogenesis and the mechanisms by which ICA enhances osteoporosis treatment through cell transplantation remain inadequately understood.
