Open AccessMicrovesicles derived from human Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells enhance autophagy and ameliorate acute lung injury via delivery of miR-100
Microvesicles (MVs) derived from human Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells (MSC-MVs) were demonstrated to ameliorate acute lung injury (ALI). We have previously found that MSC-MV-transferred hepatocyte grow...

An invasive population of Solidago canadensis is less sensitive to warming and nitrogen-addition than its native population in an invaded range
Native and invasive populations might behave differentially due to contrasting genetics and histories of environmental pressures. Here we attempted to understand how climate warming and atmospheric nitrogen (N...

Insecticidal effect of juglone and its disturbance analysis in metabolic profiles of Aphis gossypii glover using 1H NMR-based metabonomics approach
Juglone shows a wide range of biological activities but its insecticidal effect and mechanism on Aphis gossypii has not been reported up to now. In this study, on the basis of insecticidal effect research, a 1H N...

Open AccessAnalysis of Allelic Imbalance in Rice Hybrids Under Water Stress and Association of Asymmetrically Expressed Genes with Drought-Response QTLs
Information on the effect of stress on the allele-specific expression (ASE) profile of rice hybrids is limited. More so, the association of allelically imbalanced genes to important traits is yet to be underst...

Open AccessExosomes secreted by human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cells attenuate limb ischemia by promoting angiogenesis in mice
‘Patient-specific’ induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are attractive because they can generate abundant cells without the risk of immune rejection for cell therapy. Studies have shown that iPSC-derived mes...
