Core Tip

Core Tip: Extracellular vesicles secreted by adipose mesenchymal stem cells derived from subcutaneous inguinal adipose tissue under γ-aminobutyric acid induction demonstrate a pronounced inhibitory effect on mitochondrial oxidative stress and showcases a safeguarding impact on the cardiomyocytes. The protective effects may result from extracellular vesicle microRNA-21-5p targeting thioredoxin (TXNIP)-interacting protein, regulating TXNIP-interacting protein-TXNIP complex formation and subsequent enhancing the antioxidant activity of TXNIP.
