Article Abstract
Background: Ischemic stroke (IS) remains a significant global health burden, necessitating the development of novel therapeutic strategies. This study aims to systematically evaluate the therapeutic effects of mesenchymal stem cell-derived exosomes (MSC-Exos) on IS outcomes in rodent models.
Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted across multiple databases to identify studies investigating the effects of MSC-Exos on rodent models of IS. Following rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria, 73 high-quality studies were selected for meta-analysis. Primary outcomes included reductions in infarct volume/ratio and improvements in functional recovery scores. Data extraction and analysis were performed using RevMan 5.3 software.
Results: Pooled data indicated that MSC-Exos administration significantly reduced infarct size and improved functional recovery scores in rodent models of IS. Treatment within 24 hours and beyond 24 hours of stroke induction both demonstrated substantial reductions in infarct volume/ratio compared to controls. Furthermore, MSC-Exos-treated groups exhibited marked improvements in functional recovery, as assessed by various neurobehavioral tests. The meta-analysis showed no significant publication bias, and heterogeneity levels were acceptable.
Conclusions: MSC-Exos reveal significant therapeutic potential for IS, with evidence supporting their efficacy in reducing infarct size and enhancing functional recovery in preclinical rodent models. These findings pave the way for further research and potential clinical translation.

Optimal fluid strategy for laparoscopic donor nephrectomy (LDN) remains unclear. LDN has been a domain for liberal fluid management to ensure graft perfusion, but this can result in adverse outcomes due to fluid overload. We compared postoperative outcome of living kidney donors according to the intraoperative fluid management.

After spinal cord injury (SCI), reactive astrocytes in the injured area are triggered after spinal cord injury (SCI) and to polarize into A1 astrocytes with a proinflammatory phenotype or A2 astrocytes with an anti-inflammatory phenotype. Monopolar spindle binder 2 (MOB2) induces astrocyte stellation, maintains cell homeostasis, and promotes neurite outgrowth; however, its role in the phenotypic transformation of reactive astrocytes remains unclear. Here, we confirmed for the first time that MOB2 is associated with A1/A2 phenotypic switching in reactive astrocytes following SCI in mice.

A vast sum of fish waste is being annually discarded by marine fishing industries imposing serious environmental pollution concerns. However, these aquatic discarded matters are captivating sources of collagen, a fibrous protein with eminent social and economic relevance. Collagen is conventionally recovered using outdated complex processes requiring many reagents, multiple steps, and extended periods.
