Umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (UC-MSCs) present low immunogenicity and potent immunomodulatory effects for treating various diseases. Human UC-MSCs are a heterogeneous population consisting of three main subpopulations with different cell shapes, proliferation rates, differentiation abilities, and immune regulatory functions. Previously, BAMBIMFGE8 UC-MSCs, the first subgroup successfully isolated from UC-MSCs were found to fail to alleviate lupus nephritis.

Flow cytometric (FC) immunophenotyping and T-cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangement studies are essential ancillary methods for the characterisation of T-cell lymphomas. Traditional manual gating and polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based analyses can be labour-intensive, operator-dependent, and have limitations in terms of sensitivity and specificity. The objective of our study was to investigate the efficacy of the Phenograph and t-SNE algorithms together with an antibody specific for the TCR β-chain constant region 1 (TRBC1) to identify monoclonal T-cell populations.

The selection of appropriate cell sources is vital for the regeneration and repair of tendons using stem cell-based approaches. Human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) have emerged as a promising therapeutic strategy for tendon injuries. However, the heterogeneity of hADSCs can lead to inconsistent or suboptimal therapeutic outcomes.

Background: Gastric Cancer (GC) was the third highest mortality rate among malignant tumors. Currently, no specific treatment is utilized to prevent the progression of GC. The detailed mechanism of GC was still elusive and this study aimed to clarify the mechanism of GC occurrence and development.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to elucidate the effect of itaconate (ITA) on experimental autoimmune uveitis (EAU), to explore its potential mechanism, and to identify potential therapeutic targets.
Methods: We established an animal model of EAU by constructing an immune map of mice treated with ITA and exploring the therapeutic mechanism of ITA by single-cell RNA sequencing and flow cytometry.
Results: ITA mitigated ocular inflammation associated with EAU and reversed the pathogenic differentiation linked to Th17 induction by EAU, along with the reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress pathways.
