Abstract:
... Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) have been widely studied for their applications in immunoregulation and tissue repair. However, the therapeutic effects of BMSCs in the body are limited, partly due to the low homing efficiency of BMSCs to affected parts. The stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1)/C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) axis is well known to play an essential role ...

Abstract:
... This study aimed to investigate the impact of ultrasound assisted metal-free Fenton (H₂O₂-ascorbic acid system) reaction on structural and biological properties of a pectic-polysaccharide extracted from okra (OPP). Three degraded fractions (DOPP-1, DOPP-2, and DOPP-3) were successfully prepared by ultrasound assisted Fenton treatment of OPP for 0.5, 1.0, and 3.0 h, respectively. Molecular weights ...

A purified pulp polysaccharide of Rose laevigata Michx fruit (PPRLMF-2) was selenized into Se-PPRLMF-2 in this study. PPRLMF-2 + Se was formulated by Na₂SeO₃ according to the Se content of Se-PPRLMF-2. To investigate the effects of selenylation mo ...

Abstract:
... A failure of central immune tolerance driven by autoantigen specific T regulatory (Treg) cells is a major cause of many autoimmune diseases. Restoration of proper autoantigen Treg specific response holds promise as a highly effective, long-term therapy for a wide variety of autoimmune diseases. Generating autoantigen specific Tregs remains a challenge due to the non-specific nature of most toleriz ...
