Objective: Aim to differentiate adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) to Schwann cells (SCs), as one of the major cell sources in nerve regeneration.

Summary: Use of synergistic application of imprinting method and beta-carotene BC. Schwann cell imprinted substrates can mimic the morphology and topography of SCs and induce differentiation signals in mesenchymal stem cells. BC stimulates neural differentiation.

Summary: Itch is a common side effect of opioids, particularly as a result of epidural or intrathecal administration. Notably, morphine-elicited itch was suppressed by intrathecal administration of NPY and abolished by spinal ablation of GRPR+ neurons with intrathecal injection of Bombesin-SAP.

Usage: For ablation of GRPR+ neurons, mice were given an intrathecal injection of 400 ng Bombesin-SAP or Blank-SAP (control) 10 days before behavioral testing.

Objective: To investigate the contributions of HIF-1 in regulating glycolysis of cancer cells under hypoxia

Summary: HIF Antisense LncRNA (HIFAL) has a critical regulatory role in HIF-1-driven transactivation and glycolysis, identifying HIFAL as a therapeutic target of cancer treatment.

Objective: To assess the effect of salt intake on residual renal function in rats and explore the possible mechanism.

Summary: In rats with chronic renal failure, high salt intake promotes the activation of the renal RAS system, increases blood pressure, and aggravates renal fibrosis to accelerate the decline of residual renal function, and peritoneal dialysis partially reduces the damage of residual renal function induced by high-salt diets by removing excessive sodium.

Usage: Western Blot.

Front Behav Neurosci 15:602708. doi: 10.3389/fnbeh.2021.602708

Summary: A lesion of horizontal limb of the diagonal band of Broca (HDB) cholinergic neurons and followed hippocampus damage may be involved in the pathogenesis of depression.

Usage: Injections of 192-IgG-SAP were made bilaterally into the HDB in a volume of 0.5 µL per side with a concentration of 0.5 µg/µL.

Objective: Regeneration efficiency and behavior of peripheral nerves are compared under three treatment strategies: 1) transplantation of Schwann cell progenitors induced from purified neural crest stem cells; 2) implantation of a multiscale scaffold based on high-resolution 3D printing; and 3) implantation of this bionic scaffold loading Schwann cell progenitors.

Summary: Implantation of multiscale scaffolds preloaded with neural crest stem cell derived Schwann cell progenitors is the best strategy to promote peripheral nerve regeneration with improved anatomy and function among the three different strategies.

Summary: This report confirms the presence of myeloid progenitors at the meningeal border of the brain and lays the foundation to unravel their possible functions in CNS surveillance and local immune cell production. Compared to bone marrow transfer after whole-body irradiation, chimerism developed more slowly in the CD45-SAP (biotinylated anti-CD45 mixed with Streptavidin-ZAP) model and only reached around 50% in the blood myeloid compartment 15 weeks after transplantation.

Summary: PTGFRN is a cell-surface protein that is upregulated in certain cancer types, including head and neck and, notably, pediatric medulloblastoma, an aggressive cancer with limited therapeutic options. With the selection of the mouse monoclonal antibody 33B7, the authors identified PTGFRN as a potential therapy target, and show that it is internalized by incubation with 33B7. Purified 33B7 antibody was sent to Advanced Targeting Systems where saporin was directly conjugated to the Fc region of 33B7 using their proprietary cleavable linker.

Usage: In a 96-well plate, 2000 cells/well were plated in triplicate in 100 μL of DMEM/F12 medium supplemented with 2.5% FBS, 0.4 ug/ml 33B7 antibody, and 0.9ug/ml of Fab-ZAP mouse. As an isotype control, cells were incubated with mouse Fab IgG-SAP as control (instead of 33B7) and Fab-ZAP.
