1. Research Background and Significance Over the past decade, the role of epigenetics in regulating cell fate decisions and disease development has become increasingly prominent. As a crucial part of epigenetic regulation, modifications at the RNA level—especially N6-methyladenosine (m6A)—have been confirmed to be widely present within eukaryotic m...
Research Background and Academic Significance Olfaction is one of the most important ways for humans to sense the external environment, fundamentally relying on olfactory sensory neurons (OSNs) in the olfactory epithelium (OE). These neurons possess the ability to regenerate throughout life, primarily due to the presence of local basal stem cell po...
Academic Background and Research Motivation In recent years, the field of stem cell and regenerative medicine has developed rapidly. Due to their multipotency and self-renewal capacity, stem cells have become a vital cell source for tissue repair and regeneration. Among the many types of stem cells, Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs) have drawn consider...
Academic Research Background With the global population aging rapidly, osteoporosis has gradually become a major disease threatening public health. Characterized by reduced bone mass and deterioration of bone microarchitecture, osteoporosis significantly increases the risk of fractures, severely impacts the quality of life of the elderly, and bring...
Neuropeptide Substance P Regulates Stem Cell Division to Promote Wound Healing and Epidermal Stratification: An In-depth Interpretation of the Latest Study by Khalifa et al. Research Background and Scientific Questions Wound healing following skin injury has long been a central focus in both clinical and basic medical sciences. With aging, diabetes...
Research Progress on the Role of E3 Ubiquitin Ligase TRIM63 in Promoting Chondrogenic Differentiation of Mesenchymal Stem Cells — An Interpretation of the Paper “E3 ligase TRIM63 promotes the chondrogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells by catalyzing K27-linked cysteine ubiquitination of MYH11” 1. Academic Background and Research Motivati...
Advances in Cellular Therapies for the Prevention and Treatment of Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease (aGVHD) — An Authoritative Review on the Paper “Cellular therapies for the prevention and treatment of acute graft-versus-host disease” 1. Academic Background and Motivation Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) is one of the most severe complicatio...
1. Academic Background and Research Origin Hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) are the foundation for maintaining the steady state of the adult blood system. Every day, the human body needs to generate billions of new blood cells—a process that relies on the capacity of HSPCs for self-renewal and directed differentiation within the bone mar...
1. Academic Background and Research Significance Human bone tissue possesses a certain degree of self-healing capability. However, after suffering from severe trauma, tumor resection, infection, or congenital deformity, leading to large-volume bone defects, this regenerative ability becomes limited. The so-called “critical size bone defect” refers ...
Inflammatory Pathways and Bone Marrow Microenvironment in Inherited Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes: New Insights into Chronic Inflammation Research Background and Academic Significance Inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFS) are a group of genetic disorders characterized by reduced hematopoietic cell production due to blood stem cell dysfunc...
