Organ failure (OF) is a sinister development in the clinical course of acute pancreatitis, and its prediction is crucial for triaging the patient. Persistent systemic inflammatory response syndrome and raised interleukin-6 levels have a good predictive accuracy. Pathophysiology involves the release of damage-associated molecular patterns as a consequence of pancreatic injury, recruitment of inflammatory cells, and the release of proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines causing cytokine storm.

Self-renewal capacity and potential to differentiate into almost any cell type of the human body makes pluripotent stem cells a valuable starting material for manufacturing of clinical grade cell therapies. Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by gradual loss of structure or function of neurons, often leading to neuronal death. This results in gradual decline of cognitive, motor, and physiological functions due to the degeneration of the central nervous systems.

Adult stem cells balance self-renewal and differentiation to build, maintain and repair tissues. The role of signalling pathways and transcriptional networks in controlling stem cell function has been extensively studied, but there is increasing appreciation that mechanical forces also have a crucial regulatory role. Mechanical forces, signalling pathways and transcriptional networks must be coordinated across diverse length and timescales to maintain tissue homeostasis and function.

2,3,7,8-tetrachlordibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) belongs to the category of persistent environmental pollutants, and gestational exposure to TCDD can lead to cognitive, memory, and motor deficits, as well as altered neuron development in rodents. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying TCDD's neurotoxicity remine unclear. Neural stem cells (NSCs) possess the capacity for self-renewal and can generate various cell types within the brain, playing fundamental roles in brain development and regeneration.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is a highly invasive brain tumor, and traditional treatments combining surgery with radiochemotherapy have limited effects, with tumor recurrence being almost inevitable. Given the lack of proliferative capacity in neurons, inducing terminal differentiation of GBM cells or glioma stem cells (GSCs) into neuron-like cells has emerged as a promising strategy. This approach aims to suppress their proliferation and self-renewal capabilities through differentiation.
