The Crosstalk between Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Macrophages in Bone Regeneration: A Systematic Review

Stem Cells International, Volume 2021, Issue 1, 2021., 2021
Bone regeneration is a complex and well‐coordinated process that involves crosstalk between immune cells and resident cells in the injury site. Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is a promising strategy to enhance bone regeneration.

Combating Implant Infections: Shifting Focus from Bacteria to Host

Advanced Materials, Volume 32, Issue 43, October 27, 2020., 2020
Biomaterials are known to frustrate the immune system, rendering them more likely to be colonized by pathogens. The importance of host immunomodulation in the development of anti‐infective biomaterials is described. Novel strategies in this field can help decrease the susceptibility to infection and the high reliance on antibiotic drugs.

The Clinical Significance of High Antimicrobial Resistance in Community‐Acquired Urinary Tract Infections

Canadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, Volume 2020, Issue 1, 2020., 2020
Background. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) affect up to 150 million individuals annually worldwide, mainly due to Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Klebsiella. The emergence and spread of multidrug‐resistant (MDR) bacteria are increasing, representing one of the biggest threats for human health.

Folate‐Functionalized Mesoporous Hollow SnO2 Nanofibers as a Targeting Drug Carrier to Improve the Antitumor Effect of Paclitaxel for Liver Cancer Therapy

BioMed Research International, Volume 2018, Issue 1, 2018., 2018
In this study, we prepared PTX‐loaded mesoporous hollow SnO2 nanofibers conjugated with folic acid (SFNFP) for liver cancer therapy. According to SEM and TEM characterization, SFNF showed a mesoporous hollow structure. The average outer diameter was 200 nm, and the wall thickness was 50 nm.
