Open AccessMechanisms of Wharton’s Jelly-derived MSCs in enhancing peripheral nerve regeneration
Warton’s jelly-derived Mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) play key roles in improving nerve regeneration in acellular nerve grafts (ANGs); however, the mechanism of WJ-MSCs-related nerve regeneration remains unc...

Mesenchymal Stem Cells Derived from Wharton’s Jelly Can Differentiate into Schwann Cell-Like Cells and Promote Peripheral Nerve Regeneration in Acellular Nerve Grafts
Schwann cells (SCs) secrete neurotrophic factors and provide structural support and guidance during axonal regeneration. However, nearby nerves may be damaged to obtain primary SCs, and there is a lack of nerv...

A microfluidic pore model to study the migration of fine particles in single-phase and multi-phase flows in porous media
Fine particles within porous media may migrate with the flowing fluid and cause bridging or clogging in the pore space. Bridging and clogging reduce the flow permeability of porous media, which has a significa...

Open AccessUse of a decision aid did not decrease decisional conflict in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome
Although a model for shared decision-making is important for patient-centered care, decisional conflict can emerge when patients participate in the decision-making. A decision aid is proposed to provide inform...
