Exosomes have specialized functions and play key roles in physiological and pathological processes. As a result, exosomes show potential for clinical applications in prognosis, diagnosis, drug delivery, and vaccine development. Exosomes can serve as diagnostic biomarkers found in bodily fluids and allow for minimally invasive approaches. They also show promise as drug delivery vehicles due to their biocompatibility, stability, and low toxicity. Additionally, exosomes may function as therapeutic cell-free vaccines by stimulating immune responses against tumors or infections. Stem cell derived exosomes also demonstrate potential in regenerative medicine applications.

This document describes a study investigating compartment-specific microRNA expression profiles in normal human colons and tumor counterparts. Tissue samples from normal colons were microdissected to enrich for different crypt compartments, including whole mucosa, top crypt, and basal crypt. High-throughput quantitative PCR was used to analyze the expression of 677 microRNAs across these samples. Statistical analysis identified microRNAs differentially expressed between compartments that are involved in intestinal epithelial development. Five candidate microRNAs were selected for further validation using individual quantitative PCR on formalin-fixed samples from 42 normal-tumor pairs and 16 top-basal crypt pairs from normal tissue. The aim is to identify microRNA markers that define colonic stem cell niches and
This chapter discusses perspectives on employing mesenchymal stem cells from Wharton's jelly of the umbilical cord for peripheral nerve repair. It provides background on regenerative medicine and peripheral nerve injuries. Various biomaterials that have been tested as scaffolds for delivering mesenchymal stem cells in models of rat sciatic nerve injury are described, including chitosan-silicate hybrid, collagen, PLGA90:10, poly(DL-lactide-e-caprolactone), and poly(vinyl alcohol) with conductive materials.

This study investigated how acellular gelatinous Wharton's jelly (AGWJ) enhances skin wound healing. Through proteomics analysis, they detected proteins characteristic of exosomes in AGWJ. Exosomes were isolated from AGWJ using ultracentrifugation. In vitro, these exosomes enhanced fibroblast viability and migration. In a mouse model of skin wounds, treatment with AGWJ exosomes enhanced wound healing. Mass spectrometry analysis revealed that AGWJ exosomes contain high amounts of alpha-2-macroglobulin, a protein that likely mimics the wound healing effects of AGWJ exosomes. Therefore, exosomes and their cargo, such as alpha-2-macroglobulin,

Umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UC-MSCs) show potential advantages over mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) from other sources for regenerative medicine applications. UC-MSCs display higher proliferation rates and expression of embryonic genes compared to adult MSCs. Transcriptomic analyses indicate UC-MSCs express genes related to development of multiple tissues including bone, liver, cardiovascular and neural systems. While UC-MSCs can differentiate into cell types of multiple lineages, their therapeutic impact is thought to be mainly due to their paracrine effects and immunomodulatory properties. UC-MSCs could have advantages for treating autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases.
This document discusses exosome isolation and characterization. It begins with an introduction to exosomes and their biogenesis. It then discusses two challenges in the field: simplifying isolation procedures and distinguishing exosomes from other extracellular vesicles. Six common exosome isolation strategies are described: ultracentrifugation, ultrafiltration, immunoaffinity capture, polymer precipitation, size-exclusion chromatography, and microfluidic techniques. The document concludes by outlining several characterization methods, including electron microscopy, dynamic light scattering, protein quantification assays, and assessing the presence of exosomal markers through western blotting.
A typical eukaryotic cell contains several membrane-bound organelles that carry out specialized functions. Organelles include the nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, lysosomes, endosomes, mitochondria, chloroplasts, and peroxisomes. The cytoskeleton, composed of microtubules, actin filaments, and intermediate filaments, helps organize these organelles within the cell and aids in transport between compartments. Protein sequences can serve as signals to direct attachment and trafficking of organelles along cytoskeletal networks.
This document discusses biomaterials inspired by the extracellular matrix (ECM). It defines biomimicry, bioinspiration and bioderivation as three paradigms for learning from biological systems. The document then describes three main types of ECM mimicry in biomaterials: 1) mimicking ECM functions by using ECM components, either through direct copying or partial copying, 2) mimicking ECM architecture and topography through hierarchical microstructure and topographical features, and 3) mimicking ECM protein design and assembly. The goal is to create biomaterials that interact with cells in similar ways to the native ECM environment.
Asymmetric stem cell division leads to self-renewal of one stem cell and differentiation of the other cell. Experimental studies in model organisms like C. elegans, Drosophila, and mice have identified conserved molecules like Aurora-A, aPKC, Mud/NuMa, and Numb that regulate this process. Understanding asymmetric stem cell division enhances our knowledge of stem cell biology and is important for regenerative medicine, as it provides a source for targeted cell replacement and tissue regeneration.
