Proteins can be rapidly prototyped with cell-free expression (CFE) but in most cases there is a lack of probes or assays to measure their function directly in the cell lysate, thereby limiting the throughput of these screens. Increased throughput is needed to build standardized, sequence to function data sets to feed machine learning guided protein optimization. Herein, we describe the use of fluorescent single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) as effective probes for measuring protease activity directly in cell-free lysate.

Peripheral nerve injury (PNI) is a common disease that is difficult to nerve regeneration with current therapies. Fortunately, Zou demonstrated the role and mechanism of bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in promoting nerve regeneration, revealing broad prospects for BMSCs transplantation in alleviating PNI. We confirmed the fact that BMSCs significantly alleviate PNI, but there are shortcomings such as low cell survival rate and immune rejection, which limit the wide application of BMSCs.

Increasing evidence of the significant clinical value of protection against ischemia/reperfusion injury has contributed to the realization of the independent importance of this approach in improving prognosis and reducing cardiovascular mortality. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived by adipose mesenchymal stem cells may mediate the paracrine effects of stem cells and provide regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties, which are enhanced by γ-aminobutyric acid. The protective effects on cardiac myocytes may result from the EV embarked by miR-21-5p, which is a target for thioredoxin-interacting protein, regulating the formation of thioredoxin-interacting protein-thioredoxin complexes and subsequently enhancing the antioxidant activity of thioredoxin.

To investigate the potential mechanisms underlying neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) confer ferroptosis resistance and CD8(+) T cell inhibition in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD). By the intravenous injection of LLC cells into the tail vein, a LUAD mouse model was created. Phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA) stimulated neutrophils to facilitate NETs formation and combined with NETs inhibitor DNase I to explore NETs mechanism on LLC cell proliferation, migration, ferroptosis resistance, and CD8(+) T cell activity.

Background: Asthma is a prevalent respiratory disease, and its management remains largely unsatisfactory. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been demonstrated to be efficacious in reducing airway inflammation in experimental allergic diseases, representing a potential alternative treatment for asthma. Migrasomes are recently identified extracellular vesicles (EVs) generated in migrating cells and facilitate intercellular communication.
