Stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can self-renew and differentiate into diverse types of mature and functional cells while maintaining their original identity. This profound potential of stem cells has been thoroughly investigated for its significance in regenerative medicine and has laid the foundation for cell-based therapies. Regenerative medicine is rapidly progressing in healthcare with the prospect of repair and restoration of specific organs or tissue injuries or chronic disease conditions where the body's regenerative process is not sufficient to heal. In this review, the recent advances in stem cell-based therapies in regenerative medicine are discussed, emphasizing mesenchymal stem cell-based therapies as these cells have been extensively studied for clinical use. Recent applications of artificial intelligence algorithms in stem cell-based therapies, their limitation, and future prospects are highlighted.

Background: Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is implicated as a necessary factor in the development of multiple sclerosis (MS) and may also be a driver of disease activity. Although it is not clear whether ongoing viral replication is the driver for MS pathology, MS researchers have considered the prospect of using drugs with potential efficacy against EBV in the treatment of MS. We have undertaken scientific and lived experience expert panel reviews to shortlist existing licensed therapies that could be used in later-stage clinical trials in MS.

Article Synopsis
- Amniotic fluid contains stem cells (AF-SCs) that have potential uses in regenerative medicine for treating various injuries and diseases.
- When exposed to basic Fibroblast Growth Factor (bFGF), AF-SCs show the ability to survive and migrate in a rat brain model, resembling characteristics of neuronal/glial progenitor cells.
- The study employs electrophysiological techniques to identify specific potassium currents in AF-SCs and confirms that histamine can influence calcium dynamics and potassium current activation in these cells.

Acinetobacter baumannii, an opportunistic bacterium prevalent in various environment, is a significant cause of nosocomial infections in ICUs. As the causative agent of pneumonia, septicemia, and meningitis, A. baumannii typically exhibits multidrug resistance and is associated with poor prognosis, thus led to a challenge for researchers in developing new treatment and prevention methods.

Introduction: Salmonella, a foodborne zoonotic pathogen, is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in animals and humans globally. With the prevalence of multidrug-resistant strains, Salmonellosis has become a formidable challenge. Host-directed therapy (HDT) has recently emerged as a promising anti-infective approach for treating intracellular bacterial infections.
