Mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) have been extensively tested for the treatment of
numerous clinical conditions and have demonstrated good safety but mixed efficacy …

Angiogenesis, or the growth of new blood vessels from the preexisting vasculature, is a
visible and important component of wound repair. When tissue damage occurs, disruption of …

A robust comprehension of phagocytosis is crucial for understanding its importance in innate
immunity. A detailed description of the molecular mechanisms that lead to the uptake and …

Blood cells are thought to have emerged as phagocytes in the common ancestor of animals
followed by the appearance of novel blood cell lineages such as thrombocytes, erythrocytes …

The imbalance in oxidant production and chronic inflammation are the main mechanisms
that lead to the detrimental effects of diabetes on skin wound healing. Thus, administration of …

Apoptosis and clearance of apoptotic cells via efferocytosis are evolutionarily conserved
processes that drive tissue repair. However, the mechanisms by which recognition and …

Three-dimensional (3D) micronano structures have attracted much attention in tissue
engineering since they can better simulate the microenvironment in vivo. Two-photon …

Many factors regulate scar formation, which yields a modified extracellular matrix (ECM).
Among ECM components, microfibril-associated proteins have been minimally explored in …

Macrophages are the main cells present in the synovial membrane. They play an important
role in the development and progression of osteoarthritis (OA). After the establishment of the …

M. R2 k/b mice are identical to the MA/My parent strain aside from a 5.58-Mb C57L-derived
region on chromosome 17 (Cmv5 s) that causes increased susceptibility to acute murine …
