Stable Long-Term Culture of Human Distal Airway Stem Cells for Transplantation by Yueqing Zhou, Yujia Wang, Dandan Li, Ting Zhang, Yu Ma, Wei Zuo

“…Their phenotype stability in long-term cell culture was analyzed, followed by safety evaluation and tumorigenic analysis using multiple animal models including rodents and nonhuman primate. The chimerism of the human-mouse lung model indicated that DASC pedigrees could give rise to multiple epithelial types, including type I alveolar cells as well as bronchiolar secretory cells, to regenerate the distal lung. …”

Neuroinflammation as Fuel for Axonal Regeneration in the Injured Vertebrate Central Nervous System by Ilse Bollaerts, Jessie Van houcke, Lien Andries, Lies De Groef, Lieve Moons

“…After optic nerve or spinal cord injury, inflammatory stimulation and/or modification greatly improve the regenerative outcome in rodents. Moreover, the hypothesis of a beneficial role of inflammation is further supported by evidence from adult zebrafish, which possess the remarkable capability to repair CNS lesions and even restore functionality. …”

The Gut Microbiome Profile in Obesity: A Systematic Review by Olga Castaner, Albert Goday, Yong-Moon Park, Seung-Hwan Lee, Faidon Magkos, Sue-Anne Toh Ee Shiow, Helmut Schröder

“…Most of the studies related to microbiome and obesity have been reported based on the associations between microbiota and obesity, and the in-depth study of the mechanisms related has been studied mainly in rodents and exceptionally in humans. Due to the quantity and diverse information published, the need of reviews is mandatory to recapitulate the relevant achievements. …”

CXCR2 in Acute Lung Injury by F. M. Konrad, J. Reutershan

“…CXCR2 gets activated by ELR+ chemokines, including MIP-2, KC (rodents) and IL-8 (human). Since multiple ELR+ CXC chemokines act on both receptors—CXCR1 and CXCR2—a pharmacologic agent blocking both receptors seems to be advantageous. …”

Cannabinoid Receptors CB1 and CB2 Modulate the Electroretinographic Waves in Vervet Monkeys by Joseph Bouskila, Vanessa Harrar, Pasha Javadi, Amy Beierschmitt, Roberta Palmour, Christian Casanova, Jean-François Bouchard, Maurice Ptito

“…The expression patterns of the cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1R) and the cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2R) are well documented in rodents and primates. In vervet monkeys, CB1R is present in the retinal neurons (photoreceptors, horizontal cells, bipolar cells, amacrine cells, and ganglion cells) and CB2R is exclusively found in the retinal glia (Müller cells). …”

Anesthetic-Induced Oxidative Stress and Potential Protection by Cheng Wang, Xuan Zhang, Fang Liu, Merle G. Paule, William Slikker, Jr.

“…Prevention of neuronal death by catalase and superoxide dismutase in vitro, or by M40403 (superoxide dismutase mimetic) in vivo, supports the contention that the involvement of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the nature of neuronal cell death in rodents is mainly apoptotic. However, more evidence is necessary to in order verify the role of the NMDA receptor subunit NR1 and ROS in anesthetic-induced neurodegeneration.…”
