Article Abstract
Objective: Our study aimed to compare aquaporin profiles in advanced and early passage bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BM-MSCs) and assess the impact of aquaporin changes after adipogenic differentiation. Aquaporins are crucial for stem cell survival and differentiation during their life cycle. We focused on the role of aquaporins in the cell structures of advanced and early passage stem cells.
Methods: In our study, BM-MSCs were used for our objectives. Characterization of the cells was evaluated via flow cytometry using stem cell surface markers. The characterized BM-MSCs were divided into control and differentiation groups at passages 3 (P3) and 8 (P8). AQP1, AQP3, AQP7, AQP9, and AQP10 expression levels on days 0, 1, 3, 7, 14, and 21 were evaluated using Real Time-PCR, ELISA, and immunofluorescence studies.
Results: The cells were characterized by flow cytometry and confirmed to exhibit BM-MSC characteristics. At P3 and P8, differentiation was initiated, and AQP protein expression was observed to initially increase and then decrease on subsequent days. The increase in AQP protein expression at P3 occurred earlier than that at P8. Gene expression analysis demonstrated a statistically significant increase in AQP gene expression on days when AQP protein expression decreased. Moreover, statistical differences were observed between late and early passage AQP profiles.
Conclusion: Our study examined the composition of AQPs in BM-MSCs in association with cell passage, and found that AQPs play a role in the differentiation process. The connection between the AQP profile and aging might be related to differentiation capacity, which could have implications for slowing down cellular aging and developing new therapeutic approaches.

Early pregnancy loss (EPL), also known as miscarriage or spontaneous abortion, makes up 15-20% of all clinically recognized pregnancies. EPL is a broad term that includes intrauterine pregnancies (IUPs) with findings that suggest the pregnancy may not progress or definitely will not progress; pregnancies with a gestational sac (GS) in the lower endometrial cavity or endocervical canal in the process of expulsion; residual pregnancy tissue or persistent GS; and complete passage of the GS without residual tissue. This document addresses medication management of EPL in which the complete passage of the GS has not yet occurred, including pregnancies concerning for and diagnostic of EPL (sometimes called "missed abortion") and EPL in progress.

Quercetin is a natural flavonoid renowned for its potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, and antibacterial properties, making it a highly promising candidate for the treatment of various medical conditions. Our current study investigates the influence of quercetin on energy metabolism, fatty acid composition, oxidative stress gene expression, and sirtuin expression in early- and late-stage passages of stem cells derived from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHEDs). Mitochondrial respiration was analyzed by measuring oxygen consumption following a 24 h quercetin treatment, while fatty acid profiles were examined using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

Background: There is no uniform conclusion as to whether internal or external drainage of the supporting duct is more clinically effective, especially in laparoscopic pancreaticoduodenectomy (LPD) which has not yet been reported in clinical studies. This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of external versus internal pancreatic duct drainage during LPD performed in a low-flow center at the beginning of the learning curve.
Methods: The clinical data of a total of 73 cases of patients who underwent LPD between January 2022 and June 2024 were retrospectively analyzed.

Fetal Bovine Serum (FBS) is an important ingredient in cell culture media and the current standard for most cells . However, the use of FBS is controversial for several reasons, including ethical concerns, political, and societal pressure, as well as scientific problems due to the undefined and variable nature of FBS. Nevertheless, scientists hesitate to change the paradigm without solid data de-risking the switch of their assays to alternatives.
