Mesenchymal stem cell‐derived exosomes for cardiac repair: Challenges, standardization gaps and a realistic path to clinical translation

Clinical and Translational Discovery, Volume 6, Issue 4, August 2026.
Mesenchymal stem cell‐derived exosomes (MSC‐sEVs) show preclinical promise for cardiac repair via anti‐inflammatory, anti‐apoptotic, pro‐angiogenic and anti‐fibrotic effects. However, translational hurdles remain, including non‐standardized isolation, unvalidated potency assays, incomplete GMP manufacturing, and lack of completed Phase II/III trials ...

Presurgical miR‐675‐5p Associates With the Inflammatory Response Following Surgery and Increases Inflammatory Gene Expression In Vitro

Journal of Cachexia, Sarcopenia and Muscle, Volume 17, Issue 4, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Background A loss of muscle mass and strength is a marker of poor outcomes following surgery. Changes in muscle gene expression following surgery are likely to contribute to postsurgical muscle loss, but the mechanisms controlling these changes are not known. We have previously shown that miRNAs associate with muscle loss in disease, including

Biogeography and diversification patterns in the Irano‐Turanian biodiversity hotspots inferred from a molecular phylogeny of the subendemic Iris subgenus Scorpiris (Iridaceae)

Nordic Journal of Botany, Volume 2026, Issue 8, August 2026.
The Irano‐Turanian Floristic Region harbors a rich flora, but our understanding of the development of this diversity is limited by a lack of data on phylogenetic relationships and biogeographic patterns of endemic and more widespread plants. Hypotheses of in situ diversification versus allopatric diversification were tested using Iris subgen. Scorpiris,
