Cellular Therapies for the Prevention and Treatment of Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease

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...

Critical Role of the Potential O-Linked Glycosylation Sites of CXCR4 in Cell Migration and Bone Marrow Homing of Hematopoietic Stem Progenitor Cells

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...

Overexpression of ZIC1 Transcription Factor in Segmental Bone Defects Promotes Brown Adipogenic and Osteogenic Differentiation

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 the Bone Marrow Microenvironment in Inherited Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes

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...

RUNX1 is a Key Inducer of Human Hematopoiesis Controlling Non-Hematopoietic Mesodermal Development

The Dominant Role of RUNX1 in Human Hematopoietic Development and Mesodermal Fate Balance — An Interpretation of “runx1 is a key inducer of human hematopoiesis controlling non-hematopoietic mesodermal development” 1. Academic Background and Research Motivation The development of the hematopoietic system is fundamental for the growth and maintenance...

Adult Human Heart Extracellular Matrix Improves Human iPSC-CM Function via Mitochondrial and Metabolic Maturation

1. Academic Background Cardiovascular diseases, especially myocardial infarction (MI), are among the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. After a myocardial infarction, up to one billion cardiomyocytes (CM) can be lost in just a few hours. However, adult myocardial tissue itself has extremely low regenerative capacity, which means the ...

Neonatal Apical Resection Preserves the Proliferative Capacity of Cardiomyocytes Throughout the Left Ventricle

I. Academic Background: The Cardiac Mystery Facing Regenerative Medicine Cardiovascular diseases, especially myocardial infarction (MI), are among the leading causes of death and disability worldwide due to heart damage. However, the adult mammalian heart has long been regarded as having essentially lost its endogenous regenerative ability, with th...

Renal Protective Effects of Extracellular Vesicle-Encapsulated Tumor Necrosis Factor-α-Induced Protein 6 Derived from Mesenchymal Stem Cells

I. Research Background and Academic Significance In recent years, the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) has been continuously rising worldwide. AKI not only leads to acute loss of renal function but is increasingly recognized as being closely related to the occurrence and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Numerous epidemiological an...

METTL3 Promotes Osteogenesis by Regulating N6-Methyladenosine-Dependent Primary Processing of hsa-mir-4526

New Mechanism of m6A Methylation Promoting Osteogenic Differentiation of Adipose-Derived Stem Cells Revealed — Study Based on METTL3-Mediated Primary microRNA Splicing Regulation of hsa-mir-4526 1. Academic Background and Research Motivation Bone tissue engineering has emerged as a cutting-edge interdisciplinary research field due to rapid advances...
