Keratinocyte growth factor gene delivery via mesenchymal stem cells protects against lipopolysaccharide-induced acute lung injury in mice. [PDF]
Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are associated with high morbidity and mortality, and have no specific therapy. Keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) is a critical factor for pulmonary epithelial repair and acts via the ...

Schisandrin B ameliorates non-alcoholic liver disease through anti-inflammation activation in diabetic mice. [PDF]
Abstract Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic risk factor associated with non‐alcoholic liver disease (NAFLD). Schisandrin B (Sch B) is a promising agent for NAFLD. However, the actions of Sch B on diabetes‐associated NAFLD and the underlying mechanisms are not characterized.

The Role of Microvesicles Derived from Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Lung Diseases. [PDF]
Microvesicles (MVs) are membrane vesicles that are released by many types of cells and have recently been considered important mediators of cell‐to‐cell communication. MVs serve as a vehicle to transfer proteins and messenger RNA and microRNA (miRNA) to distant cells, which alters the gene expression, proliferation, and differentiation of the recipient
