Abstract Human umbilical cord matrix Wharton’s jelly mesenchymal stem cells (WJ-MSCs) are commonly utilized in regenerative medicine due to their therapeutic benefits. However, the microenvironmental stress present patients with hyperglycemia can significantly reduce cell (MSC) viability under high-glucose conditions body, ultimately reducing effectiveness. Enhancing survival rate of MSCs following transplantation remains a crucial challenge. This study investigates whether Quantum Hyperlight (QHL) counteract detrimental effects high glucose (HG), thereby improving MSC survival, proliferation, and mitochondrial function. We aimed evaluate effect QHL on cellular viability, activity WJ-MSCs exposed HG. were cultured medium containing normal (NG) (1 g/L) HG (4.5 g/L). for 90 s or 180 an energy density 2.4 Joules/cm 2 /minute average power 40 mW/cm . Then, proliferating nuclear antigen (PCNA), MTT assays, Mitotracker Green staining performed proliferation. The was increased QHL-treated groups (84% QHL-90 86% QHL-180 s) compared untreated group (65%, p < 0.001). PCNA expression showed significant increases ( 0.001) group. MitoTracker intensity higher environment reduced staining. In context NG environment, exhibited notable differences. rates when treated that did not receive QHL. introduces as novel approach enhance potential conditions, demonstrating its ability improve activity. highlights pretreatment clinical outcomes medicine.

Nanoparticles (NPs) and submicron particles are increasingly used as carriers for delivering therapeutic compounds to cells. Their entry into the cell represents initial step in this delivery process, being most of nanoparticles taken up by endocytosis, although other mechanisms can contribute uptake. To increase efficiency NPs is very relevant understand involved uptake process. This review covers proposed pathways cellular different types well role that some physicochemical nanoparticle characteristics play pathway preferentially gain access deliver their cargo inside cell.

Organ ischemia with inadequate oxygen supply followed by reperfusion (which initiates a complex of inflammatory responses and oxidative stress) occurs in different clinical conditions surgical procedures including stroke, myocardial infarction, limb ischemia, renal failure, organ transplantation, free-tissue-transfer, cardiopulmonary bypass, vascular surgery. Even though pharmacological treatments protect against experimental (I/R) injury, there has not been enough success their application for patient benefits. The main hurdles the treatment I/R injury are lack diagnosis tools understanding complicated chains I/R-induced signaling events, especially acute phase after determining affected regions tissue over time, then, targeting safe delivery antioxidants, drugs, peptides, genes cells to areas requiring treatment. Besides innate antioxidant free radical scavenging properties, some nanoparticles also show higher flexibility drug imaging. This review highlights three approaches nanoparticle-mediated injury: (1) as antioxidants reducing stress, (2) targeted therapeutic agents ischemic or cells, (3) imaging at molecular, cellular level monitoring its evolution using contrasts induced nanoparticles. These can be combined realize so called theranostics providing simultaneous delivery.
