Comparison of exosomes secreted by induced pluripotent stem cell-derived mesenchymal stem cells and synovial membrane-derived mesenchymal stem cells for the treatment of osteoarthritis
BackgroundOsteoarthritis (OA) is the most common joint disease worldwide. In the past decade, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have been used widely for the treatment of OA. A potential mechanism of… Expand

Although multitargeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor sunitinib has been used as first‐line therapeutic agent against metastatic renal cell carcinoma (mRCC), the molecular mechanism and functional role… Expand
Isothiocyanates induce oxidative stress and suppress the metastasis potential of human non-small cell lung cancer cells
BackgroundIsothiocyanates are natural compounds found in consumable cruciferous vegetables. They have been shown to inhibit chemical carcinogenesis by a wide variety of chemical carcinogens in animal… Expand
Systemic inflammation score predicts postoperative prognosis of patients with clear-cell renal cell carcinoma
Background:Growing evidence indicates that inflammation has a crucial role in the development and progression of cancer. We developed a novel systemic inflammation score (SIS) based on preoperative… Expand
