Background: Extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins play a crucial role in regulating the biological properties of adherent cells. For cryopreserved fibroblasts, a favourable ECM environment can help restore their natural morphology and function more rapidly, minimizing post-thaw stress responses.

Methods And Results: This study explored the functional responses of cryopreserved enriched caprine adult dermal fibroblast (cadFibroblast) cells to structural [collagen-IV and rat tail collagen (RTC)] and adhesion ECM proteins (laminin, fibronectin, and vitronectin) under in vitro culture conditions.

Introduction: Brain damage caused by subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) currently lacks effective treatment, leading to stagnation in the improvement of functional outcomes for decades. Recent studies have demonstrated the therapeutic potential of exosomes released from mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), which effectively attenuate neuronal apoptosis and inflammation in neurological diseases. Due to the challenge of systemic dilution associated with intravenous administration, intranasal delivery has emerged as a novel approach for targeting the brain.

Human parietal epithelial cells as Trojan horses in albumin overload.

Parietal Epithelial Cells (PECs) activation and proliferation are common to several distinct forms of glomerulopathies. Due to several stimuli, PECs can change to a progenitor (CD24 and CD133/2) or a pro-sclerotic (CD44) phenotype. In addition, PECs, which are constantly exposed to filtered albumin, are known to be involved in albumin internalization, but how this mechanism occurs is unknown.

Rotator cuff injury (RCI), characterized by shoulder pain and restricted mobility, represents a subset of tendon-bone insertion injuries (TBI). In the majority of cases, surgical reconstruction of the affected tendons or ligaments is required to address the damage. However, numerous clinical failures have underscored the suboptimal outcomes associated with such procedures.

Formation of epithelial polarity on the fluorinated-oil microdroplet surface by regulating cell adhesion.

Polarized epithelial cells are compartmentalized into apical and basement membranes with asymmetrically distributed proteins. This study aimed to establish a method for culturing epithelial cells at the fluorinated oil (Novec-7500) microdroplet surface for the formation of epithelial polarity, which is desirable for regenerative medicine and drug discovery research. Microdroplet surfaces treated with fibronectin, which regulates a variety of cell behaviors through direct interactions with cell surface integrin receptors, were prepared for culturing epithelial cells.
