Article Abstract
➢ Skeletal stem cells (SSCs) continually replenish mature cell populations to support skeletal homeostasis.➢ SSCs repopulate by self-renewal, have multilineage potential, and are long-lived in vivo.➢ SSCs express specific combinations of cell surface markers that reflect their lineage identity.➢ SSCs adapt to their anatomic environment to support regional differences in skeletal behavior and pathology.
Lacking of suitable fish muscle stem cell line has greatly hindered the fabrication of cell-cultured fish meat. Here, we established and characterized a spontaneously immortalized marine fish muscle stem cell line (EfMS) from brown-marbled grouper (Epinephelus fuscoguttatus), which could actively proliferate with good genetic stability and well maintain the stemness of myogenesis potential for over 50 passages. Taurine was found to be able to serve as a substitute of fish muscle extract in maintaining stemness.
Background: Skeletal muscle atrophy significantly affects quality of life and has socio-economic and health implications. This study evaluates the effects of entacapone (ENT) on skeletal muscle atrophy linked with oxidative stress and proteolysis.
Methods: C2C12 cells were treated with dexamethasone (Dex) to simulate muscle atrophy.
Background: Sarcocystosis is a parasitic disease found worldwide, resulting from various Sarcocystis species. The current research was carried out in three significant economic areas in Egypt: Greater Cairo, the Nile Delta, and Upper Egypt. It aimed to investigate the occurrence of Sarcocystis spp.
Objective: Aim: To determine the effect of cell therapy on the intensity of lipid peroxidation processes in the liver, kidneys and lungs of rats of different ages under conditions of experimental cranio-skeletal trauma (CST).
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: In the experiments, 129 white male Wistar line rats of different age groups were used: immature rats aged 100-120 days and weighing 90-110 g; mature rats aged 6-8 months and weighing 180-200 g; and old rats aged 19-23 months and weighing 300-320 g. In each age group, CST was modeled under thiopental sodium anesthesia.
Skeletal disorders pose significant challenges to health and quality of life, underscoring the critical need for innovative bone repair methods. Recent studies have spotlighted the promising role of extracellular vesicles (EVs) derived from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) in conjunction with biomimetic peptide (BP) WKYMVm (WK) for bone repair. This research leveraged a self-healing hydrogel as a carrier, effectively loading EVs and WK to enhance treatment efficacy.
