Sodium selenite preserves rBM-MSCs’ stemness, differentiation potential, and immunophenotype and protects them against oxidative stress via activation of the Nrf2 signaling pathway

BMC Complementary Medicine and Therapies, 2023
Background The physiological level of reactive oxygen species (ROS) is necessary for many cellular functions. However, during the in-vitro manipulations, cells face a high level of ROS, leading to reduced cell quality.

Selenium inhibits ferroptosis in hyperglycemic cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury by stimulating the Hippo pathway.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Hyperglycemia can exacerbate cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury, and the mechanism involves oxidative stress, apoptosis, autophagy and mitochondrial function. Our previous research showed that selenium (Se) could alleviate this injury. The aim of
