Derivation and characterization of retinal pigment epithelium from urine‐derived iPSCs
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Age‐related macular degeneration causes vision loss via RPE dysfunction and loss. Traditional iPSC therapies rely on invasive biopsies, limiting scalability. Here, we utilize urine‐derived stem cells as an accessible source to generate u‐iPSCs, successfully differentiated into pigmented RPE. This “Urine‐to‐Retina” platform provides a promising path for

Acute caffeine treatment protects the developing retina from ischemia‐induced cell death
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Caffeine reduces cell death in the developing retina under ischemia (OGD). This effect does not involve BDNF upregulation or antioxidant pathways (NRF2/VEGF). Neuroprotection occurs mainly through adenosine A2A receptor antagonism, decreasing glutamate release and excitotoxicity, highlighting caffeine's potential as an acute neuroprotective agent in ...

Exploring the dermal immune and angiogenic responses to Schistosoma mansoni [PDF]
, 2011 Schistosoma mansoni is a parasitic helminth which gains access to the host’s vascular system by penetrating and migrating through the skin in search of a blood vessel.

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.IGFBP4 knockdown (KD) impairs preadipocyte proliferation and is associated with IGF1R protein downregulation and attenuated AKT phosphorylation. The mechanisms by which IGFBP4 KD influences the IGF1R/AKT signaling pathway involve newly synthesized proteins and lysosomal degradation pathways. Created in BioRender.

Cellular mechanisms during vascular development [PDF]
, 2012 The vascular system is an essential organ in vertebrate animals and provides the organism with enough oxygen and nutrients. It is composed of an interconnected network of blood vessels, which form using a number of different morphogenetic mechanisms ...
