OM-MSCs, Golgi Stress, and PEDF–Akt/mTOR Signaling
2026-08-21
The reference study identifies Golgi apparatus stress as a modifiable component of cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury and shows that olfactory mucosa mesenchymal stem cells reduce this response through secreted PEDF and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling. Its combined cell, animal, knockdown, and pathway-rescue design provides a useful framework for studying organelle protection rather than viewing stem-cell therapy only as a source of replacement cells.

H2S Deficiency and Lipotoxicity in Diabetic Cardiomyopathy
2026-08-20
The reference study identifies reduced endogenous hydrogen sulfide production as a mechanistically important feature of lipotoxic myocardial injury in diabetic cardiomyopathy. By combining patient samples, a streptozotocin-induced rat model, and palmitate-treated AC16 cardiomyocytes, the authors connect H2S deficiency with endoplasmic reticulum stress and show that exogenous H2S can partially reverse injury-associated phenotypes.
