This review systematically compares the size‐dependent toxicity of microplastics and nanoplastics in the intestine, liver, kidney, lung, and brain. Particle size determines bioavailability, barrier penetration, and injury mechanisms. Because of their small size and high surface reactivity, NPs readily cross the intestinal epithelium and blood–brain ...

Recent Advances in Exosome‐Based Nanodelivery Systems for Traumatic Brain Injury Treatment
An overview of functional modification, therapeutic effects, molecular composition, and delivery strategies for exosomes. ABSTRACT Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a highly heterogeneous neurological condition with extremely high rates of mortality and disability.

Unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) and genetic deletion of Mafb lead to tubular epithelial dedifferentiation, characterized by decreased E‐cadherin and increased α‐SMA and vimentin expression. Intravenous administration of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell‐derived exosomes (HucMSC‐Exos) partially restores Mafb expression in UUO kidneys ...

Excessive neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) extrusion (NETosis) links prenatal inflammation to bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) pathogenesis. Treatment with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell‐derived microvesicles suppresses NET formation, reduces lung injury, and promotes alveolarization in a preterm rat model, offering a promising cell‐free

ABSTRACT Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the colon with limited effectiveness and safety of current drug therapies. Betulinic acid (BA) is a naturally occurring pentacyclic triterpenoid present in traditional Chinese medicines used clinically as retention enemas for UC, but its direct effects and mechanisms remain unclear ...

ABSTRACT Vascular dementia (VaD), accounting for up to 20% of dementia cases globally, is primarily driven by chronic cerebral hypoperfusion (CCH), which leads to progressive cognitive impairment. Despite the increasing prevalence of VaD, effective treatments remain limited.
