Renal IGFBP6 Interacts With THBS1 to Drive Renal Cellular Senescence and Fibrosis
ABSTRACT Epithelial dedifferentiation and myofibroblast activation are critical drivers of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression. Elevated levels of IGFBP6 have been linked to decreased renal function in CKD patients, but its precise role and underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Therapeutic role and mechanism of human urine stem cells (hUSCs) in pulmonary fibrosis. hUSCs alleviated pulmonary fibrosis by selectively inhibiting macrophage‐myofibroblast transition (MMT) in two ways: on one hand, hUSCs inhibited mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (mtROS) production and apoptosis/senescence of epithelial cells in pulmonary ...

Diagnostic Stewardship: Changing Behavior One Urine Culture At A Time
Urinalysis and urine cultures are important diagnostic tools for diagnosing urinary tract infections. Often urine cultures are ordered without appropriate clinical indications of infection attributable to the urinary tract.

Determination of Optimal Urine Culture Criteria
The criteria for setting up a urine culture are different based on the institution where the sample is collected. At Spectrum Health Ludington Hospital (SHLH), a urine culture is set up when the sample is determined to have one of the following: six or ...

An intelligent Au@CeO2 Hybrid Nanoparticles (ACEF) with microenvironment‐dependent self‐adjustability was engineered to not only perform efficient and tumor‐specific photothermal‐chemodynamic therapy for precise tumor elimination, but also serve as a ROS scavenger in healthy tissues around the tumor to avoid the unexpected oxidative damage and ...

Dielectric Elastomer Actuators as Safe and Effective Tools for Mechanostimulation of Human Cells
Replicating physiological forces is crucial for realistic cell models. Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) offer a soft alternative, though their high voltages raised toxicity concerns. We demonstrate that DEA stimulation causes no cell damage, cell death or cell‐cycle disruption, while activating mechanosensitive responses.
