Background: is recognized as a proinflammatory molecule and activates the inflammatory response in multiple disorders. However, little has been reported on in glioma. This study sought to explore its expression, biological function, and association with clinical pathological indicators, prognosis, and immune infiltration levels in glioma through glioma cohorts.

Background Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are a popular treatment candidate for myocardial injury. This work investigated the effects of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs)-secreted EVs-derived miR-200b-3p on cardiomyocyte apoptosis and inflammatory response after myocardial infarction (MI) through targeting BCL2L11 (Bcl-2-like protein 11) . Methods and Results EVs from MSCs were isolated and identified.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates focal osteoporosis defects and their correlation with vertebral compression fractures (VCF), aiming to develop a CT-based measurement method for quantifying these defects.
  • A total of 205 cases were reviewed, determining that the proposed measurement method demonstrated high reproducibility and was significantly higher in patients with fractures compared to controls.
  • This measurement was found to be independently associated with VCF prevalence, indicating that focal osteoporosis defects contribute to increased fracture risk and can be reliably quantified using routine CT.

Urine is commonly used for clinical diagnosis and biomedical research. The discovery of extracellular vesicles (EV) in urine opened a new fast-growing scientific field. In the last decade urinary extracellular vesicles (uEVs) were shown to mirror molecular processes as well as physiological and pathological conditions in kidney, urothelial and prostate tissue.

Thalassemia, classified as the main types α- and β-thalassemia, is a single gene disorder resulting from globin chain synthesis impairment through the mutation or deletion of globin genes. The incidence of thalassemia is high worldwide, with high associated mortality. Therefore, treatment is important to improve patient outcomes.
