A hypoxic microenvironment is a common feature of skin wounds. Our previous study demonstrated that three-dimensional coculture of umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ucMSCs) and endothelial cells facilitates cell communication and host integration in skin tissue engineering. Here, we aimed to identify the mechanism by which ucMSCs affect endothelial cells under hypoxic conditions after skin injury. We demonstrate that hypoxia enhances the exosome-mediated paracrine function of ucMSCs, which increases endothelial cell proliferation and migration. In a mouse full-thickness skin injury model, ucMSC-derived exosomes can be taken up by endothelial cells and accelerate wound healing. Hypoxic exosomes lead to a better outcome than normoxic exosomes by promoting proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis. Mechanistically, microRNA-125b (miR-125b) transcription is induced by hypoxia in ucMSCs. After being packaged into hypoxic exosomes and transported to endothelial cells, miR-125b targets and suppresses the expression of tumor protein p53 inducible nuclear protein 1 (TP53INP1) and alleviates hypoxia-induced cell apoptosis. Inhibition of miR-125b-TP53INP1 interaction attenuates the protective effect of hypoxic exosomes. Moreover, artificial agomiR-125b can accelerate wound healing . Our findings reveal communication between ucMSCs and endothelial cells via exosomal miR-125b/TP53INP1 signaling in the hypoxic microenvironment and present hypoxic exosomes as a promising therapeutic strategy to enhance cutaneous repair.

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) typically reside in perivascular niches, but whether endothelial cells of blood vessels influence the stemness of cancer cells remains poorly understood. This study revealed that endothelial cell-specific GLTSCR1 deletion promotes colorectal cancer (CRC) tumorigenesis and metastasis by increasing cancer cell stemness. Mechanistically, knocking down GLTSCR1 induces the transformation of endothelial cells into tip cells by regulating the expression of Neuropilin-1 (NRP1), thereby increasing the direct contact and interaction between endothelial cells and tumour cells.

Lymphangiogenesis is vital for tissue fluid homeostasis, immune function, and lipid absorption. Abnormal lymphangiogenesis has been implicated in several diseases such as cancers, inflammatory, and autoimmune diseases. In this study, we elucidate the role of tsRNA-0032 in lymphangiogenesis and its molecular mechanism.

Preclinical and clinical studies have established that autoreactive immunoglobulin G (IgG) can drive neuropathic pain. We recently demonstrated that sciatic nerve chronic constriction injury (CCI) in male and female mice results in the production of pronociceptive IgG, which accumulates around the lumbar region, including within the dorsal root ganglia (DRG) and spinal cord, facilitating the development of neuropathic pain. These data raise the intriguing possibility that neuropathic pain may be alleviated by reducing the accumulation of IgG.

Rationale: The biodegradable polymer BioMatrix Alpha™ stent contains biolimus A9 drug which is sirolimus derivative increase in lipophicity. The biodegradable polymer sirolimus eluting Combo™ stent is a dual-therapy sirolimus-eluting and CD34+ antobody coated stent capturing endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs).
Hypothesis: The main hypothesis of the SORT OUT XI trial was that the biodegradable polymer biolimus A9 BioMatrix Alpha ™ stent is noninferior to the biodegradable polymer sirolimus eluting Combo™ stent in an all-comers population with coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Background: Loss of corneal endothelial cells after glaucoma surgery can lead to corneal decompensation and reduced vision. This loss may be accelerated by drainage implants like PreserFlo, which allow controlled subconjunctival filtration. In a retrospective analysis, we examined its impact on corneal endothelial cell density (ECD).
