Endometriosis is a gynecological disorder characterized by chronic inflammation, anatomical changes, prolonged pain, and infertility. On the other hand, is recognized for its pharmacological effects, which might be beneficial in managing endometriosis. The aim of the study was to investigate the pharmacological effects of as a potential therapy for endometriosis by using an animal model.

The cardiac microenvironment profoundly restricts the efficacy of myocardial regeneration tactics for the treatment of myocardial infarction (MI). A prospective approach for MI therapeutics encompasses the combined strategy of scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) to alleviate oxidative stress injury and facilitating macrophage polarization towards the regenerative M2 phenotype. In this investigation, we fabricated a ROS-sensitive hydrogel engineered to deliver our previously engineered IL-1β-VHH for myocardial restoration.

Aims: Endometriosis development is associated with peritoneal immune microenvironment abnormality; however, the specific mechanism is uncertain. We aimed to investigate the effects and underlying mechanisms of uterine cavity-derived exosomes on macrophage polarization and endometriosis progression.

Materials And Methods: Uterine cavity-derived exosomes, miR-210-3p inhibitor or siATP5D were used to treat macrophages.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the effectiveness and safety of dentifrices containing Nano silver fluoride (NSF) against the bacteria Streptococcus mutans, which causes tooth decay.
  • Researchers synthesized NSF particles and created dentifrices with varying concentrations of NSF, assessing their antimicrobial properties using an agar diffusion method and cytotoxicity on mouse macrophage cells.
  • Results showed that NSF dentifrices inhibited bacterial growth effectively while also evaluating their impact on cell viability to ensure safety for use in oral health products.

Dental inflammatory diseases remain a challenging clinical issue, whose causes and development are still not fully understood. During dental caries, bacteria penetrate the tooth pulp, causing pulpitis. To prevent pulp necrosis, it is crucial to promote tissue repair by recruiting immune cells, such as macrophages, able to secrete signal molecules for the pulp microenvironment and thus to recruit dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) in the damaged site.
