We generated a human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) line from erythroid progenitor cells (EPCs) of a 20-year-old female healthy donor using Sendai virus vector encoding Yamanaka factors OCT3/4, SOX2, c-MYC, and KLF4. The established hiPSCs showed a standard morphology and expression of typical undifferentiated stem cell markers, a normal karyotype (46, XX), and demonstrated potential for differentiation in vitro. Furthermore, they were successfully differentiated into cardiomyocytes that expressed cardiomyocyte-specific markers. The iPSC line and iPSC-derived cardiomyocytes will provide new avenues for future drug testing/development and personalized cell therapy for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).

Although silicon is a widespread constituent in dental materials, its possible influence on the formation and repair of teeth remains largely unexplored. Here, we studied the effect of two silicic acid-releasing nanomaterials, silica and bioglass, on a living model of pulp consisting of dental pulp stem cells seeded in dense type I collagen hydrogels. Silica nanoparticles and released silicic acid had little effect on cell viability and mineralization efficiency but impacted metabolic activity, delayed matrix remodeling, and led to heterogeneous cell distribution.

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is an Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated cancer, and immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have shown efficacy in its treatment. The combination of chemotherapy and ICIs represents a new trend in the standard care for metastatic NPC. In this study, we aim to clarify the immune cell profile and related prognostic factors in the ICI-based treatment of metastatic NPC.

This study investigated the potential of extended irradiation combined with immature embryo culture techniques to accelerate generation advancements in safflower ( L.) breeding programs. We developed an efficient speed breeding method by applying light-emitting diodes (LEDs) that emit specific wavelengths, alongside the in vitro germination of immature embryos under controlled environmental conditions.

Background: Circulating rare cells participate in breast cancer evolution as systemic components of the disease and thus, are a source of theranostic information. Exploration of cancer-associated rare cells is in its infancy.
Objectives: We aimed to investigate and classify abnormalities in the circulating rare cell population among early-stage breast cancer patients using fluorescence marker identification and cytomorphology.
Application of adipose tissue-derived stem cell therapy with a clinically relevant dose does not significantly affect atherosclerotic plaque characteristics in a streptozotocin-induced hyperglycaemia mouse model.

Aims: Diabetes mellitus (DM) induces increased inflammation of atherosclerotic plaques, resulting in elevated plaque instability. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) therapy was shown to decrease plaque size and increase stability in non-DM animal models. We now studied the effect of MSC therapy in a streptozotocin-induced hyperglycaemia mouse model using a clinically relevant dose of adipose tissue-derived MSCs (ASCs).
