MiR-181a-5p Delivered by Adipose-Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cell Exosomes Alleviates Klebsiella pneumonia Infection-Induced Lung Injury by Targeting STAT3 Signaling by Ren-Jing Hu, Xiao-Chun Chen, Lei Xu, Xiao-Hong Rui, Lin Wan, Jie Lu, Jun Liu, Hao Pei

“…Mechanically, miR-181a-5p was able to inhibit STAT3 expression at posttranscriptional levels and repressed Nlrp3 and Asc expression in BMDM. Conclusion. Consequently, we concluded that ADSC-derived exosomal miR-181a-5p alleviated Klebsiella pneumonia infection-induced lung injury by targeting STAT3 signaling. …”

Extensive Characterization of Mesenchymal Stem Cell Marker Expression on Freshly Isolated and In Vitro Expanded Human Adipose-Derived Stem Cells from Breast Cancer Patients by Premrutai Thitilertdecha, Visnu Lohsiriwat, Poonsin Poungpairoj, Varangkana Tantithavorn, Nattawat Onlamoon

“…This study, therefore, developed a polychromatic staining panel for an in-depth characterization of freshly isolated SVF and expanded adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC) from the patients. ADSC were found predominant in SVF (~65% of CD45- cells) with a homogenous phenotype of CD13+CD31-CD34+CD45-CD73+CD90+CD105-CD146- (~94% of total ADSC). …”

Surface Treatment on Nickel Oxide to Enhance the Efficiency of Inverted Perovskite Solar Cells by Kaijie Wang, Ye Tian, Heng Jiang, Meng Chen, Shuangyan Xu

“…It is found that high-temperature annealing (500°C) is required to ensure the perovskite solar cell (PSC) with an efficiency over 15%. Low-temperature annealing (100°C) cannot convert the precursor materials to fully covered NiOx film, while the PSC based on mediate-temperature annealing (300°C) NiOx has larger resistance and thus lower efficiency. …”
