A Novel Human Cellular System for Studying Normal Aging and for Anti‐Aging Discovery
This study introduces a human cellular aging model using placental trophoblasts (hTSC‐STBs) that mimics key aging features like senescence and genomic instability. It aligns with human tissue aging and responds to anti‐aging treatments, offering a scalable platform to screen potential therapies and bridge lab findings to clinical applications ...

Differential expression of ADAMTS -1, -4, -5 and TIMP -3 in rat spinal cord at different stages of acute experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis [PDF]
Experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis (EAE) is an animal model of inflammatory demyelination, a pathological event common to multiple sclerosis (MS). During CNS inflammation there are alterations in the extracellular matrix (ECM).

Integrins' prime syndecan [PDF]
University of Wisconsin–Madison researchers have shown that synstatin, a syndecan-1–derived peptide, prevented angiogenesis and decreased tumor growth in mice. If the results translate to human cancers, synstatin or a mimetic may offer an alternative to integrin inhibitors in the clinic.

Research Progress of Exosome‐Derived microRNA in Alcohol Use Disorders: A Critical Review
Exosome‐derived microRNAs represent stable and mechanistically active mediators of alcohol‐induced multi‐organ injury. This review summarizes how chronic alcohol exposure reshapes exosomal miRNA cargo across the liver, immune system, and brain, highlighting key miRNAs with diagnostic value and therapeutic potential.

Heparan Sulfate Regrowth Profiles Under Laminar Shear Flow Following Enzymatic Degradation [PDF]
The local hemodynamic shear stress waveforms present in an artery dictate the endothelial cell phenotype. The observed decrease of the apical glycocalyx layer on the endothelium in atheroprone regions of the circulation suggests that the glycocalyx may ...
