Article Synopsis
  • Human multipotent mesenchymal stromal/stem cells (MSCs) have potential for treating various diseases, but their effectiveness is limited by variations in quality and heterogeneity among cell populations.
  • This study identified functional subpopulations of bone marrow-derived MSCs (BM-MSCs) that influence their ability to produce vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), which is important for angiogenic therapy.
  • The research highlighted LRRC75A as a key marker for these effective subpopulations, showing that it regulates VEGF secretion under ischemic conditions, suggesting it could help improve the selection of MSCs for therapeutic purposes.

Although the influenza A virus H7N9 subtype circulates within several avian species, it can also infect humans with a severe disease outcome. To better understand the biology of the H7N9 virus we examined the host response to infection in avian and human cells. In this study we used the A/Anhui/1/2013 strain, which was isolated during the first wave of the H7N9 epidemic.

Gastric cancer is a common disease with limited treatment options and a poor prognosis. Many gastric cancers harbour potentially actionable targets, including over-expression and mutations in tyrosine kinase pathways. Agents have been developed against these targets with varying success- in particular, the use of trastuzumab in HER2-overexpressing gastric cancers has resulted in overall survival benefits.
