AI Article Synopsis
- - This study examined the impact of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) on healing acute Achilles tendon ruptures in 15 patients, who were divided into three groups: one with ruptures only, one with surgical sutures, and one with ruptures treated using ADSCs.
- - Results showed that the group receiving ADSCs had significantly higher scores on the AOFAS scale indicating better function, while both the suture and ADSC groups scored better on the ATRS scale compared to the rupture-only group.
- - The study concluded that using ADSCs can enhance tissue regeneration and improve functional recovery, suggesting it could be a viable treatment option for Achilles tendon ruptures.
Article Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in the treatment of acute rupture of the Achilles tendon. It was a cross-sectional study involving 15 patients. Patients were randomly divided: group 1-rupture; group 2-suture; group 3-rupture + ADSCs. In the AOFAS score, the score was higher in group 3 with a significant difference. In the ATRS score, the score was higher in groups 2 and 3, also with a significant difference. As for the ultrasound score, there was a significant difference between the experimental groups in relation to this score, however, in the multiple comparisons test, comparing two groups at a time, it was possible to observe a significant difference of the experimental groups. It can be concluded that cell therapy in this condition may be a treatment option due to tissue regeneration and significant recovery of function.

Background: It has been reported the therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on hearing loss. This study explored the therapeutic effects of growth differentiation factor 6 (GDF6) overexpression-induced MSCs (MSCs-GDF6) on age-related hearing loss (ARHL) and its underlying mechanisms.
Methods: Reverse transcription-quantitative PCR and western blotting were used to evaluate gene expression.

Background: Thyroid Hormones (THs) critically impact human cancer. Although endowed with both tumor-promoting and inhibiting effects in different cancer types, excess of THs has been linked to enhanced tumor growth and progression. Breast cancer depends on the interaction between bulk tumor cells and the surrounding microenvironment in which mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exert powerful pro-tumorigenic activities.

Department of Biomedical Sciences, Grand Valley State University, Allendale, MI 49401, USA.
Background: Diabetes mellitus is associated with morphological and functional impairment of the heart primarily due to lipid toxicity caused by increased fatty acid metabolism. Extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) have been implicated in the metabolism of fatty acids in the liver and skeletal muscles. However, their role in the heart in diabetes remains unclear.
