The diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is chronic kidney disease caused by diabetes and one of the most common comorbidities. It is often more difficult to treat end-stage renal disease once it develops because of its complex metabolic disorders, so early prevention and treatment are important. However, currently available DKD therapies are not ideal, and novel therapeutic strategies are urgently needed. The potential of stem cell therapies partly depends on their ability to secrete exosomes. More and more studies have shown that stem cell-derived exosomes take part in the DKD pathophysiological process, which may offer an effective therapy for DKD treatment. Herein, we mainly review potential therapies of stem cell-derived exosomes mainly stem cell-derived exosomal microRNAs in DKD, including their protective effects on mesangial cells, podocytes and renal tubular epithelial cells. Using this secretome as possible therapeutic drugs without potential carcinogenicity should be the focus of further research.

Cardiomyocytes (CMs) lost during ischemic cardiac injury cannot be replaced due to their limited proliferative capacity. Calcium is an important signal transducer that regulates key cellular processes, but its role in regulating CM proliferation is incompletely understood. Here we show a robust pathway for new calcium signaling-based cardiac regenerative strategies.

Background: FT596 is an induced pluripotent stem-cell (iPSC)-derived chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) natural killer (NK) cell therapy with three antitumour modalities: a CD19 CAR; a high-affinity, non-cleavable CD16 Fc receptor; and interleukin-15-interleukin-15 receptor fusion. In this study, we aimed to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and evaluate the safety and tolerability of FT596 as monotherapy and in combination with rituximab. We also aimed to evaluate the antitumour activity and characterise the pharmacokinetics of FT596 as monotherapy and in combination with rituximab.

Human pluripotent stem cell-derived tissue engineering offers great promise for designer cell-based personalized therapeutics, but harnessing such potential requires a deeper understanding of tissue-level interactions. We previously developed a cell replacement manufacturing method for ectoderm-derived skin epithelium. However, it remains challenging to manufacture the endoderm-derived esophageal epithelium despite possessing a similar stratified epithelial structure.

Regeneration after ischemia requires to be promoted by (re)perfusion of the affected tissue, and, to date, there is no therapy that covers all needs. In treatment with mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), the secretome acts via paracrine mechanisms and has a positive influence on vascular regeneration via proangiogenic factors. A lack of standardization and the high complexity of vascular structures make it difficult to compare angiogenic readouts from different studies.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a highly challenging and fatal disease, with diverse challenges arising at different stages of its progression. As such, non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), which can broadly regulate cell fate, and stem cells with multi-differentiation potential are emerging as novel therapeutic approaches for treating MI across its various stages. NcRNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs) and long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs), can directly participate in regulating intracellular signaling pathways, influence cardiac angiogenesis, and promote the repair of infarcted myocardium.
