Mesenchymal Stem Cell‐Derived Extracellular Vesicles Modulate the Course of Peritoneal Inflammation Through Metabolic and Epigenetic Regulation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
MSC‐EVs alleviate peritoneal inflammation and fibrogenesis by disrupting the H3K18la‐CCL2 axis and crosstalk between mesothelial cells and Ly6c2⁺ macrophages. Model cartoons are constructed using the Biorender website (https://www.biorender.com/), and a usage license is obtained. Abstract Peritoneal dialysis (PD), as a renal replacement therapy, relies

Recombinant erythropoietin treatment improves serum podocyte marker levels in diabetic kidney disease

Advances in Biomarker Sciences and Technology, 2023
Background: Recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) is an effective treatment for renal anemia. Recently, there is evidence to suggest that rHuEPO may reduce podocyte injury in diabetic kidney disease (DKD).
