Reliable methods for the isolation and culture of human eccrine sweat gland cells (SGCs) are essential for studying glandular biology and developing tissue-engineered skin substitutes (TESs) that restore full skin function. However, maintaining the g...

Myocardial infarction (MI) remains a leading cause of mortality worldwide, yet effective cardioprotective strategies remain limited in clinical settings. Vascular endothelial growth factor B (VEGFB) has emerged as a promising therapeutic candidate in...

Background: Cervical cancer (CC) is one of the most common malignancies in women worldwide. Its progression involves a cascade of processes, including proliferation, migration, invasion, and metastasis. Each stage is regulated by specific signaling p...

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer among women worldwide and remains a significant cause of cancer-related mortality. Alcohol consumption is linked to an increased risk of several cancers and is a controversial risk factor for developin...

Pathological vascular remodeling—central to restenosis, atherosclerosis, and vasculo-proliferative diseases—depends on the phenotypic switching of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) from a quiescent, contractile state to a synthetic, pr...

Tau was initially identified as a microtubule-binding protein critical for microtubule stabilization. It is also a pathological hallmark of tauopathies, a group of neurodegenerative diseases that include Alzheimer’s disease. Under pathological...

Chronic wounds (CWs) represent a growing global health concern with profound clinical and socioeconomic implications. Studies indicate that approximately 15% of CWs remain unhealed one year after the initial treatment. At the same time, it is assumed...

Recently, we observed that pars planitis (PP) patients present alterations in peripheral blood (PB) Th17/Treg associated with dysregulation in the Th1 response. Yet, little is known about the systemic distribution of myeloid cells, which drive the re...

Receptor for advanced glycation end-products (RAGE) activation by hyperglycemia-induced AGE (advanced glycation end-products) accumulation is likely to play a crucial role in the development of complications such as diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DP...

Pluripotent stem cells (PSCs) exhibit remarkable self-renewal capacity and differentiation potential, necessitating tight regulation of gene expression at both transcriptional and post-transcriptional levels. Among post-transcriptional mechanisms, RN...
