Macromolecular Cryoprotectants Improve THP-1 Banking
2026-08-31
A 2025 RSC Applied Polymers study shows that polyampholyte-based macromolecular cryoprotectants, combined with controlled ice nucleation, improve post-thaw recovery and macrophage differentiation of THP-1 cells in both vials and multi-well plates. Cryo-Raman imaging links this performance to reduced intracellular ice formation, supporting more consistent assay-ready immune-cell workflows.

Nicotine Signaling in Chronic Kidney Disease Progression
2026-08-30
Jain and Jaimes integrate clinical and experimental evidence showing that nicotine may directly accelerate chronic kidney disease through non-neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptors, oxidative stress, hemodynamic changes, and pro-fibrotic signaling. The review’s main practical contribution is a mechanistic framework for connecting smoking exposure with renal injury across diabetes, hypertension, transplantation, and other CKD settings.

HOXB4, BMSCs, and Wnt Signaling in Acute Lung Injury
2026-08-29
Lin et al. show that HOXB4-overexpressing bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells protect lipopolysaccharide-injured endothelial cells more effectively than unmodified BMSCs. Their transwell coculture and XAV-939 inhibition experiments connect this benefit partly to restoration of Wnt/β-catenin signaling, while also highlighting the need for in vivo validation.
