Abstract
Stem cells have been attractive targets for tissue regeneration due to their inherent ability to differentiate into various specialized cell types; however, efforts for stem cell transplantation for the treatment of degenerated tissues have been hampered by the propensity of some stem cell types to form teratomas and the lessened viability of stem cells after transplantation. These disadvantages can be prevented using tailored extracellular matrix-like materials that can be used as an aid for the transplantation of stem cells. Nanomaterials, in particular nanofibers, have great potential to be used as extracellular matrix-like materials for this purpose. In this article, we will review the use of stem cells and nanofibers for skin regeneration and wound healing.

Development of a Composite Hydrogel Containing Statistically Optimized PDGF-Loaded Polymeric Nanospheres for Skin Regeneration: In Vitro Evaluation and Stem Cell Differentiation Studies.

Abstract
Platelet-derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) is a polypeptide growth factor generated by platelet granules faced to cytokines. It plays a role in forming and remodeling various tissue types, including epithelial tissue, through interaction with cell-surface receptors on most mesenchymal origin cells. However, it breaks down quickly in biological fluids, emphasizing the importance of preserving them from biodegradation. To address this challenge, we formulated and evaluated PDGF-encapsulated nanospheres (PD@PCEC) using polycaprolactone-polyethylene glycol-polycaprolactone. PD@PCECs were fabricated through the triple emulsion methodology and optimized by using the Box-Behnken design. The encapsulation efficiency (EE) of nanoencapsulated PDGF-BB was investigated concerning four variables: stirring rate (X1), stirring duration (X2), poly(vinyl alcohol) concentration (X3), and PDGF-BB concentration (X4). The selected optimized nanospheres were integrated into a gelatin-collagen scaffold (PD@PCEC@GC) and assessed for morphology, biocompatibility, in vitro release, and differentiation-inducing activity in human adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs). The optimized PD@PCEC nanospheres exhibited a particle size of 177.9 ± 91 nm, a zeta potential of 5.2 mV, and an EE of 87.7 ± 0.44%. The release profile demonstrated approximately 85% of loaded PDGF-BB released during the first 360 h, with a sustained release over the entire 504 h period, maintaining bioactivity of 87.3%. The study also included an evaluation of the physicochemical properties of the scaffolds and an assessment of hADSC adhesion to the scaffold's surface. Additionally, hADSCs cultivated within the scaffold effectively differentiated into keratinocyte-like cells (KLCs) over 21 days, evidenced by morphological changes and upregulation of keratinocyte-specific genes, including cytokeratin 18, cytokeratin 19, and involucrin, at both transcriptional and protein levels.

Abstract
To improve wound healing or treatment of other skin diseases, and provide model cells for skin biology studies, in vitro differentiation of stem cells into keratinocyte-like cells (KLCs) is very desirable in regenerative medicine. This study examined the most recent advancements in in vitro differentiation of stem cells into KLCs, the effect of biofactors, procedures, and preparation for upcoming clinical cases. A range of stem cells with different origins could be differentiated into KLCs under appropriate conditions. The most effective ways of stem cell differentiation into keratinocytes were found to include the co-culture with primary epithelial cells and keratinocytes, and a cocktail of growth factors, cytokines, and small molecules. KLCs should also be supported by biomaterials for the extracellular matrix (ECM), which replicate the composition and functionality of the in vivo extracellular matrix (ECM) and, thus, support their phenotypic and functional characteristics. The detailed efficient characterization of different factors, and their combinations, could make it possible to find the significant inducers for stem cell differentiation into epidermal lineage. Moreover, it allows the development of chemically known media for directing multi-step differentiation procedures.In conclusion, the differentiation of stem cells to KLCs is feasible and KLCs were used in experimental, preclinical, and clinical trials. However, the translation of KLCs from in vitro investigational system to clinically valuable cells is challenging and extremely slow.

Abstract
Wound healing is a complex biological process with four main phases: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. Current treatments such as cotton and gauze may delay the wound healing process which gives a demand for more innovative treatments. Nanofibers are nanoparticles that resemble the extracellular matrix of the skin and have a large specific surface area, high porosity, good mechanical properties, controllable morphology, and size. Nanofibers are generated by electrospinning method that utilizes high electric force. Electrospinning device composed of high voltage power source, syringe that contains polymer solution, needle, and collector to collect nanofibers. Many polymers can be used in nanofiber that can be from natural or from synthetic origin. As such, electrospun nanofibers are potential scaffolds for wound healing applications. This review discusses the advanced electrospun nanofiber morphologies used in wound healing that is prepared by modified electrospinning techniques.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Enhancing the efficiency of cell-based skin tissue engineering (TE) approaches is possible via designing electrospun scaffolds possessing natural materials like amniotic membrane (AM) with wound healing characteristics. Concentrating on this aim, we fabricated innovative polycaprolactone (PCL)/AM scaffolds through the electrospinning process. METHODS The manufactured structures were characterized by employing scanning electron microscope (SEM), attenuated total reflection-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy, tensile testing, Bradford protein assay, etc. In addition, the mechanical properties of scaffolds were simulated by the multiscale modeling method. RESULTS As a result of conducting various tests, it was concluded that the uniformity and distribution of fibers decreased with an increase in the amniotic content. Furthermore, PCL-AM scaffolds contained amniotic and PCL characteristic bands. In the case of protein release, greater content of AM led to the release of higher amounts of collagen. Tensile testing revealed that scaffolds' ultimate strength increased when the AM content augmented. The multiscale modeling demonstrated that the scaffold had elastoplastic behavior. In order to assess cellular attachment, viability, and differentiation, human adipose-derived stem cells (ASCs) were seeded on the scaffolds. In this regard, SEM and 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assays showed significant cellular proliferation and viability on the proposed scaffolds, and these analyses illustrated that higher cell survival and adhesion could be achieved when scaffolds possessed a larger amount of AM. After 21 days of cultivation, particular keratinocyte markers, such as keratin I and involucrin, were identified through utilizing immunofluorescence and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests. The markers' expressions were higher in the PCL-AM scaffold with a ratio of 90:10 v v-1 compared with the PCL-epidermal growth factor (EGF) structure. Moreover, the presence of AM in the scaffolds resulted in the keratinogenic differentiation of ASCs even without employing EGF. Consequently, this state-of-the-art experiment suggests that the PCL-AM scaffold can be a promising candidate in skin bioengineering. CONCLUSION This study showed that mixing AM with PCL, a widely used polymer, in different concentrations can overcome PCL disadvantages such as high hydrophobicity and low cellular compatibility.

Abstract
Purpose: Promoting neurogenesis is a promising strategy to treat neurodegenerative disorders. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of mastic gum resin from the Pistacia lentiscus var. Chia (Anacardiaceae family) in proliferation capacity and differentiation of embryonic mesenchymal stem cells into a neural lineage. Methods: For this purpose, mastic gum was applied as a neural inducer for stem cell differentiation into the neuronal lineage. Following treatment of embryonic stem cells (ESCs) with mastic gum, verification differentiation of the ESCs into the neuronal lineage, gene expression analysis, and immunocytochemistry staining approach were performed. Results: Gene expression analysis demonstrated that mastic gum increased the expression level of neuron markers in the ESCs-derived neuron-like cells. Moreover, our immunocytochemistry staining results of two important neural stem cell markers, including Nestin and microtubule-associated protein-2 (Map2) expression confirmed that mastic gum has the potential to promote neuronal differentiation in ESCs. Conclusion: In summary, the use of mastic gum to stimulate the differentiation of ESCs into a neural lineage can be considered as a good candidate in stem cell therapy.

In vitro expansion of human adipose-derived stem cells with delayed senescence through dual stage release of curcumin from mesoporous silica nanoparticles/electrospun nanofibers.

Abstract
Electrospun nanofibers (NFs) were utilized to realize the dual-stage release of curcumin (Curc) to fully support the attachment, viability and proliferation of adipose-derived stem cells (hADSCs) with a delay in cellular senescence. For this purpose, both free Curc and Curc-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles (Curc@MSNs) were integrated into the electrospun polycaprolactone/gelatin (PCL/GEL) nanofibrous scaffolds and characterized via FTIR, BET, FE-SEM and TEM. In vitro drug release results demonstrated strong dual stage-discharge of Curc from the Curc/Curc@MSNs-NFs. Because of the combination of initial rapid release and late extended drug release, hADSCs cultured on the Curc/Curc@MSNs-NFs showed the greatest adhesion, metabolic activity and proliferation rate with a fibroblastic phenotype after 28 days of culture. Besides, a significant reduction in senescence-associated lysosomal α-L-fucosidase (SA-α-Fuc) expression and activity was also measured in hADSCs cultured on the Curc/Curc@MSNs-NFs. Moreover, not only the expression of hTERT in mRNA and protein levels was considerably increased in hADSCs seeded on the Curc/Curc@MSNs-NFs, but also the telomerase activity and telomere length were significantly enhanced in the scaffolds compared to the other types of scaffolds and control group. These results uncovered the potential of the two-stage discharge profile of Curc from Curc/Curc@MSNs-NFs to provide the biofunctionality of long-term cultured hADSCs for efficient stem cell-based regenerative therapies.

Abstract
The appropriate endodontic material should eliminate the infection and inflammation to provide a situation for regeneration and healing of pulp tissue besides biomineralization. Chrysin is one of the active ingredients of plant flavonoids, which has significant anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. In the present study, this natural substance was evaluated for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and mineralization properties on dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). SEM, FTIR, and TGA tests were used to determine the successful synthesize of chrysin-loaded scaffolds. The antimicrobial effects of the synthesized scaffold against Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, and Enterococcus faecalis were assessed by the agar diffusion test and live/dead assay. The proliferation of DPSCs on these scaffolds was determined by the MTT assay, DAPI staining, and DNA extraction. Moreover, the antioxidant and anti-inflammation activity of chrysin-loaded scaffolds on inflamed DPSCs was evaluated. Alkaline phosphatase activity and Alizarin Red S Stain tests were done to evaluate the mineralization of DPSCs seeded on these scaffolds. The chrysin-loaded scaffolds reported antimicrobial effects against evaluated bacterial strains. The proliferation of DPSCs seeded on these scaffolds was increased significantly (p < 0.05). The TNFα and DCF levels in inflamed DPSCs showed a significant decrease in the presence of chrysin-loaded scaffolds (p < 0.05). The ALP activity and formation of mineralized nodules of DPSCs on these scaffolds were significantly increased compared with the control group (p < 0.05). These results indicated that chrysin as an ancient therapeutic agent can accelerate the healing and regeneration of damaged pulp tissue, and this active ingredient can be a potential natural substance for regenerative endodontic procedures.

Abstract
Electrospun nanofibers (NFs)-based drug delivery approaches are of particular interest as a hopeful implantable nanoplatform for localized cancer therapy and treating tissue defect after resection, allowing the on-site drug delivery with minimal side effect to healthy cells. To maintain therapeutic concentrations of anticancer molecules for a relatively long time through a combination of burst and sustained drug release mechanisms, a hybrid of polycaprolactone and gelatin (PCL/GEL) was used for co-encapsulation of free curcumin (CUR) and CUR-loaded mesoporous silica nanoparticles (CUR@MSNs) via electrospinning, resulting in a novel drug-loaded nanofibrous scaffold, CUR/CUR@MSNs-NFs. The as-prepared MSNs and composite NFs were characterized via TGA, FTIR, FE-SEM, TEM, and BET. In vitro release profile of CUR from CUR/CUR@MSNs-NFs was examined, and the in vitro antitumor efficacy against MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells was also evaluated through MTT, scratch assay, DAPI staining, and real-time PCR. The results disclosed that the smooth, bead-free, and randomly oriented CUR/CUR@MSNs-NFs displayed a combination of initial rapid discharge and sustained release for CUR, which led to higher cytotoxicity, lower migration as well as a more pronounced effect on apoptosis induction than CUR-NFs and CUR@MSNs-NFs. The present study illustrated that the dual drug release mechanisms through MSN/NF-mediated drug delivery systems might have a highly hopeful application as a localized implantable scaffold for potential postoperative breast cancer therapy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND: A key moderator of wound healing is oxygen. Wound healing is a dynamic and carefully orchestrated process involving blood cells, cytokines, parenchymal cells (i.e. fibroblasts and mesenchymal stem cells) and extracellular matrix reorganization. Human adipose derived stem cells as well as human fibroblasts produce soluble factors, exhibit diverse effects on inflammation and anti inflammation response and are involved in wound healing processes. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an effective adjunct treatment for ischemic disorders such as chronic infection or chronic wounds. In vitro effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on human cells were presented in many studies except for those on mono- and co-cultures of human adipose derived stem cells and fibroblasts. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of hyperbaric oxygen therapy on mono- and co-cultures of human adipose derived stem cells and fibroblasts. METHODS: Mono- and co-cultures from human adipose derived stem cells and fibroblasts were established. These cultures were exposed to hyperbaric oxygen therapy every 24 h for five consecutive days. Measuring experiments were performed on the first, third and fifth day. Therapy effects on the expression of VEGF, IL 6 and reactive oxygen species were investigated. RESULTS: After exposure to hyperbaric oxygen, cell culturess showed a significant increase in the expression of VEGF after 3 and 5 days. All cultures showed significantly reduced formation of reactive oxygen species throughout the experiments. The expression of IL-6 decreased during the experiment in mono-cultures of human adipose derived stem cells and co-cultures. In contrast, mono-cultures of human skin fibroblasts showed an overall significantly increased expression of IL-6. CONCLUSIONS: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy leads to immunmodulatory and proangiogenetic effects in a wound-like enviroment of adipose derived stem cells and fibroblasts.

Abstract
Objective: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) expression has deregulated in several cancer types including breast cancer (BC). The present study aims at investigating the role, mechanism, clinical value of let-7d and miR-185 in BC, and the possible correlation these miRNAs with Rab25. Materials and Methods: Tumor samples as well adjacent normal tissues (ANT) were acquired from fresh surgical specimens from 110 patients and the expression levels of let-7d, miR-185, Rab25, and snail were evaluated using real-time PCR. The immunohistochemical (IHC) process and western blot were done to detect the level of Rab25 and Snail protein expression in BC samples. Results: By comparing miRNAs expression profiles in clinical tissues of 110 patients using real-time PCR, let-7d, and miR-185 expression were dramatically downregulated in BC tissues (P < 0.05). Tumor size, stage, and lymph node metastasis were significantly related to miRNAs expression. Based on qRT-PCR and bioinformatics database analyses, we also recognized Rab25 as a possible target of miR-185 and let-7d. Rab25 expression was enhanced in BC cells and associated inversely with the expression level of mentioned miRNAs. qRT-PCR, immunohistochemistry, and western blot studies verified that Rab25 upregulation increased the levels of the snail, that key transcription factor of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT). Conclusion: These findings demonstrated that let-7d and miR-185 inhibited EMT by targeting Rab25 expression in BC. Therefore, targeting the let-7d and miR-185/Rab25 interaction may offer new therapeutic opportunities for treating BC patients.

Abstract
Adipose-derived stem cell (ADSC)-based therapeutic strategies are in fast-pace advancement in wound treatment due to their availability and the ability to self-renew, undergo multilineage differentiation and self-renewal. Existing studies have successfully explored ADSCs to facilitate scar-free healing of small wounds, but whether the healing of large-area wounds that exhibit over 50% of skin tissue loss in the entire body could be achieved remains controversial. This study sought to review the mechanism of physiological wound healing, and discuss the roles played by chemokines, biological factors and biomaterial scaffolds. The possibility of applying ADSC-conditioned medium or ADSC-released exosomes as 'off-the-shelf' tissue engineering products, integrated with biomaterial scaffolds to facilitate wound healing, was analyzed.

Abstract
Regenerative medicine aims to repair damaged, tissues or organs for the treatment of various diseases, which have been poorly managed with conventional drugs and medical procedures. To date, multimodal regenerative methods include transplant of healthy organs, tissues, or cells, body stimulation to activate a self-healing response in damaged tissues, as well as the combined use of cells and bio-degradable scaffold to obtain functional tissues. Certainly, stem cells are promising tools in regenerative medicine due to their ability to induce de novo tissue formation and/or promote organ repair and regeneration. Currently, several studies have shown that the beneficial stem cell effects, especially for mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) in damaged tissue restore are not dependent on their engraftment and differentiation on the injury site, but rather to their paracrine activity. It is now well known that paracrine action of stem cells is due to their ability to release extracellular vesicles (EVs). EVs play a fundamental role in cell-to-cell communication and are directly involved in tissue regeneration. In the present review, we tried to summarize the molecular mechanisms through which MSCs and iPSCs-derived EVs carry out their therapeutic action and their possible application for the treatment of several diseases.

Abstract
Background Inflammation is one of the most important responses of the body against infection or disease, and it protects tissues from injury; however, it causes redness, swelling, pain, fever and loss of function. The aim of this present study was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activity of emu oil (Eu) formulated nanofibrous scaffold in HFFF2 fibroblast cells. Materials and methods Eu was formulated successfully in nanofibers through the electrospinning method. Besides, the morphological and structural properties of Eu nanofibres were evaluated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The MTT assay (3-[4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide) was performed to evaluate the HFFF2 fibroblast cells' viability. Also, real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to evaluate the anti-inflammatory signaling pathway in treated HFFF2 cells with Eu nanofiber. Results Our study showed that the Eu nanofiber increased the viability of fibroblast HFFF2 cells (p < 0.05). Also, the expression of interleukin1 (IL1), IL6 and tumor necrosis factor- alpha (TNF-α) pro-inflammatory cytokines genes were significantly decreased in treated HFFF2 cells with Eu nanofiber (p < 0.05). Conclusions In conclusion, Eu nanofiber scaffold potentially can reduce the inflammation process through downregulation of IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α cytokines.

Abstract
The use of biological macromolecules like quince seed mucilage (QSM), as the common curative practice has a long history in traditional folk medicine to cure wounds and burns. However, this gel cannot be applied on exudative wounds because of the high water content and non-absorption of infection of open wounds. It also limits cell-to-cell interactions and leads to the slow wound healing process. In this study to overcome these problems, a novel QSM-based hybrid scaffold modified by PCL/PEG copolymer was designed and characterized. The properties of this scaffold (PCL/QSM/PEG) were also compared with four scaffolds of PCL/PEG, PCL/Chitosan/PEG, chitosan, and QSM, to assess the role of QSM and the combined effect of polymers in improving the function of skin tissue-engineered scaffolds. It was found, the physicochemical properties play a crucial role in regulating cell behaviors so that, PCL/QSM/PEG as a smart/stimuli-responsive bio-matrix promotes not only human-adipose stem cells (h-ASCs) adhesion but also supports fibroblasts growth, via providing a porous-network. PCL/QSM/PEG could also induce keratinocytes at a desirable level for wound healing, by increasing the mechanobiological signals. Immunocytochemistry analysis confirmed keratinocytes differentiation pattern and their normal phenotype on PCL/QSM/PEG. Our study demonstrates, QSM as a differentiation/growth-promoting biological factor can be a proper candidate for design of wound dressings and skin tissue-engineered substrates containing cell.

Abstract
In this study, we explored whether co-nanoencapsulated Curcumin (Cur) and Chrysin (Chr), natural herbal compounds with antitumor activities, regulate miR-132 and miR-502c and their downstream targets, leading to the synergistic growth inhibition in MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells. For this purpose, Cur and Chr were co-encapsulated into PLGA-PEG nanoparticles (NPs) and characterized through DLS, FTIR and FE-SEM. MTT assay and cell cycle arrest analysis revealed that CurChr-loaded NPs had a considerable synergistic cytotoxicity against MDA-MB-231 cells with more cell accumulation in G2/M phase compared to the other groups. In addition, highest percentage of cell apoptosis was acquired in cells treated with CurChr-loaded NPs according to apoptosis analysis. Real-time PCR findings revealed that co-encapsulated form of Cur and Chr than free combination could further upregulate miR-132 and miR-502c expression (P < 0.001). Also, the strong reduction was detected in the protein levels of HN1 and P65 at the cells co-nanodelivered with Cur and Chr. These findings demonstrated that the co-nanodelivery of Cur and Chr through targeting miR-132 and miR-205c might be a novel strategy for the treatment of breast cancer.

Abstract
In recent years, induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have been considered as a promising approach in the field of regenerative medicine. iPSCs can be generated from patients' somatic cells and possess the potential to differentiate, under proper conditions, into any cell type. However, the clinical application of iPS cells is restricted because of their tumorigenic potential. Recent studies have indicated that stem cells exert their therapeutic benefit via a paracrine mechanism, and extracellular vesicles have been demonstrated that play a critical role in this paracrine mechanism. Due to lower immunogenicity, easier management, and presenting no risk of tumor formation, in recent years, researchers turned attention to exosomes as potential alternatives to whole-cell therapy. Application of exosomes derived from iPSCs and their derived precursor provides a promising approach for personalized regenerative medicine. This study reviews the physiological functions of extracellular vesicles and discusses their potential therapeutic benefit in regenerative medicine.

Abstract
Full-thickness skin defect is one of the main clinical problems, which cannot be repaired spontaneously. The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of combining nanofibers with ADM as a bilayer scaffold for treatment of full-thickness skin wounds in a single-step procedure. The nanofibrous polycaprolactone/fibrinogen scaffolds were fabricated by electrospinning. Subsequently, mesenchymal stem cells were isolated from rat adipose tissues and characterized by flow cytometry. Cell adhesion, proliferation, and the epidermal differentiation potential of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) on nanofibrous scaffolds were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), alamarBlue, and real-time PCR, respectively. In animal studies, full-thickness excisional wounds were created on the back of rats and treated with following groups: ADM, ADM-ADSCs, nanofiber, nanofiber-ADSCs, bilayer, and bilayer-ADSCs. In all groups, wounds were harvested on days 14 and 21 after treatment to evaluate re-epithelialization, blood vessel density, and collagen content. The results indicated that ADSCs seeded on ADM, nanofiber, and bilayer scaffolds can promote re-epithelialization, angiogenesis, and collagen remodeling in comparison with cell-free scaffolds. In conclusion, nanofiber-ADSCs showed the best results for re-epithelialization (according to histological scoring), average blood vessel density (92.7 ± 6.8), and collagen density (87.4 ± 4.9%) when compared to the control and other experimental groups.

Abstract
Herbs having various natural substances can be utilized for the biosynthesis of Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) and act as a stable, reliable and biocompatible alternative instead of the current physical and chemical approaches. It has been reported that Matricaria chamomilla possesses unique properties, especially anti-cancerous effects. The objective of the current work was to assess the chemical characteristics and anticancer effects of biosynthesized AgNPs applying aqueous extracts of M. chamomilla against A549 lung cancer cells. UV-visible spectrum showed the maximum absorption of the biosynthesized AgNPs at 430 nm. The crystalline structure of biosynthesized AgNPs in optimal conditions was confirmed by XRD. Moreover, the presence of Ag as the ingredient element was exhibited via EDX analysis. FT-IR results also verified the AgNPs synthesis using a plant extract. The spherical shapes of the AgNPs with an average diameter size around 45.12 nm and a zeta potential value of -34 mV were characterized using DLS, and confirmed through FE-SEM and TEM. In vitro cytotoxicity assay using MTT revealed that the biosynthesized AgNPs exhibited a dose- and time- dependent cytotoxic effect against A549 lung cancer cells. Moreover, the apoptotic effects of the AgNPs were demonstrated using DAPI staining, real-time PCR and flow cytometry. According to these findings, using M. chamomilla in combination with AgNPs via green-synthesis approach may be an efficient strategy for effective treatment of lung cancer.

Abstract
Our previous study indicated that loureirin A induces hair follicle stem cell (HFSC) differentiation through Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway activation. However, if and how microRNAs (miRNAs/miRs) modulate loureirin A-induced differentiation remains to be elucidated. In the present study, HFSCs were separated from the vibrissae of rats and identified by CD34 and keratin, type 1 cytoskeletal (K)15 expression. Microarray-based miRNA profiling analysis revealed that miR-339-5p was downregulated in loureirin A-induced HFSC differentiation. miR-339-5p overexpression by transfection with miR-339-5p mimics markedly inhibited the expression of K10 and involucrin, which are markers of epidermal differentiation, whereas inhibition of miR-339-5p by miR-339-5p inhibitor transfection promoted the expression of K10 and involucrin. These results suggest that miR-339-5p is a negative regulator of HFSC differentiation following induction by loureirin A. These findings were confirmed by a luciferase assay. Homeobox protein DLX-5 (DLX5) was identified as a direct target of miR-339-5p. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that miR-339-5p inhibited DLX5. Overexpression of miR-339-5p by mimic transfection significantly inhibited protein Wnt-3a (Wnt3a) expression, while inhibition of miR-339-5p by inhibitor transfection significantly increased the expression of Wnt3a. Furthermore, small interfering RNA targeting DLX5 was transfected into HFSCs, and western blot analysis revealed that Wnt3a, involucrin and K10 expression was significantly downregulated. Taken together, these results suggest that miR-339-5p negatively regulated loureirin A-induced HFSC differentiation by targeting DLX5, resulting in Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway inhibition. This may provide a possible therapeutic target for skin repair and regeneration.

Abstract
Stem cells have recently emerged as an important candidate for cell therapy. However, some major limitations still exist such as a small quantity of cell supply, senescence, and insufficient differentiation efficiency. Therefore, there is an unmet need to control stem cell behavior for better clinical performance. Since native microenvironment factors including stem cell niche, genetic factors, and growth factors direct stem cell fate cooperatively, user-specified in vitro settings are required to understand the regulatory roles and effects of each factor, thereby applying the factors for improved cell therapy. Among others, various types of biomaterials and transfection method have been employed as key tools for development of the in vitro settings. This review focuses on the current strategies to improve stemness maintenance, direct differentiation, and reprogramming using biomaterials and genetic factors without any aids from additional biochemicals and growth factors.

Abstract
In the regenerative medicine therapies, the availability of engineered scaffolds that modulate inflammatory states is highly required. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds containing natural substances with anti-inflammatory properties such as Emu oil (EO) to control inflammation and re-polarization of macrophages toward M2 anti-inflammatory phonotype. For this purpose, bead free and smooth EO-blended PCL/PEG electrospun nanofibrous mats were successfully fabricated and characterized using FE-SEM, FTIR, and Universal Testing Machine. GC/MS findings of pure EO revealed the fatty acids composition. MTT results showed that macrophage viability on EO-PCL/PEG nanofibres was higher than on PCL/PEG nanofibres and control (p ≤ .05). Additionally, the presence of EO into nanofibres was found to influence on macrophage morphologies, using FE-SEM. qPCR results showed a reduction in iNOS-2 and an increase in Arg-1 levels of macrophages seeded on EO-PCL/PEG nanofibres, indicating the successfully polarization of the macrophages to M2 phenotype. The change in macrophage phenotype on EO-based nanofibres could suppress the inflammation in LPS/IFN-γ stimulated macrophages as evidenced by a major reduction in pro-inflammatory cytokine levels TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6. Conclusively, the results demonstrated that EO-based nanofibres efficiently modulated RAW264.7 macrophage polarity toward an anti-inflammatory M2 phenotype.

Abstract
Adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ASCs) are promising candidate in stem cell therapies, and maintaining their stemness potential is vital to achieve effective treatment. Natural-based scaffolds have been recently attracted increasing attention in nanomedicine and drug delivery. In the present study, a polymeric nanofibrous scaffold was developed based on the polycaprolactone/Collagen (PCL/Coll) containing Emu oil as a bioactive material to induce the proliferation of ASCs, while simultaneously preserving the stemness property of those cells. Fabrication of the electrospun Emu oil-loaded PCL/Coll nanofibers was confirmed by using FE-SEM, FTIR, and tensile test. ASCs were seeded on two types of nanofibers (PCL/Coll and Emu oil-loaded PCL/Coll) and their proliferation, cell cycle progression, and stemness gene expressions were evaluated using MTT, propidium iodide staining, and qPCR during 14 days, respectively. The results indicated that ASCs displayed improved adhesion capacity with the higher rates of bioactivity and proliferation on the Emu oil-loaded nanofibers than the other groups. The proliferation capacity of ASCs on Emu oil-loaded PCL/Coll nanofibers was further confirmed by the cell cycle progression analysis. It was also found that Emu oil-loaded nanofibers significantly up-regulated the expression of stemness markers including sox-2, nanog, oct4, klf4, and c-Myc. The results demonstrated that the nanofibers containing Emu oil can reinforce the cell adhesion and enhance ASCs proliferation while preserving their stemness; therefore, using scaffolds containing natural products may have a great potential to enhance the in vitro expansion capacity of ASCs in the field of stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine.
