Long Course Hyperbaric Oxygen Stimulates Neurogenesis and Attenuates Inflammation after Ischemic Stroke by Ying-Sheng Lee, Chung-Ching Chio, Ching-Ping Chang, Liang-Chao Wang, Po-Min Chiang, Kuo-Chi Niu, Kuen-Jer Tsai

“…Several studies have provided evidence with regard to the neuroprotection benefits of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy in cases of stroke, and HBO also promotes bone marrow stem cells (BMSCs) proliferation and mobilization. This study investigates the influence of HBO therapy on the migration of BMSCs, neurogenesis, gliosis, and inflammation after stroke. …”

Mechanism of Nerve Regeneration after Ischemic Stroke Induced by Exercise Intervention by TENG Lili, ZHANG Mei, SONG Wenjing, ZHU Luwen

“…Based on the plasticity of the central nervous system, exercise intervention can play a neuroprotective role in the brain through multi-levels, multi-pathways and multi-targets, such as regulating synaptic budding, connection and transmission efficiency, improving the functional connection between regenerative axons and target cells, promoting angiogenesis and protecting the integrity of neurovascular units, regulating related inhibitory nerve regeneration factors, and inducing the expression of various nerve growth factors related to nerve regeneration and promoting the proliferation of neural stem cells, so as to participate in the regulation of central nervous rege-neration environment, and improve the damaged nerve function after ischemia.…”

A Novel In Situ Dendritic Cell Vaccine Triggered by Rose Bengal Enhances Adaptive Antitumour Immunity by Lanlin Zhang, Jiangyuan Du, Qian Song, Chufan Zhang, Xianghua Wu

“…These effects were closely related to the induction of the expression of distinct ICD hallmarks by RB in both bulk cancer cells and cancer stem cells (CSCs), especially calreticulin (CRT), thus enhancing immune effector cell (i.e., CD4+, CD8+, and memory T cells) infiltration and attenuating the accumulation of immunosuppressive cells (i.e., Tregs, macrophages, and myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs)) in the TME. …”

Prominosomes - a particular class of extracellular vesicles containing prominin-1/CD133? by Jana Karbanová, Kristina Thamm, Christine A. Fargeas, Ilker A. Deniz, Aurelio Lorico, Denis Corbeil

“…We will further discuss the molecular and cellular characteristics of prominin-1, notably those that have a direct effect on the release of prominin-1+ EVs, a process that might be directly implicated in donor cell reprogramming of stem and cancer stem cells. Prominin-1+ EVs also mediate intercellular communication during embryonic development and adult homeostasis in healthy individuals, while disseminating biological information during diseases. …”
