Interleukin‐37 and Dendritic Cells Treated With Interleukin‐37 Plus Troponin I Ameliorate Cardiac Remodeling After Myocardial Infarction by Ruirui Zhu, Haitao Sun, Kunwu Yu, Yucheng Zhong, Huairui Shi, Yuzhen Wei, Xin Su, Wenbin Xu, Quan Luo, Fangyuan Zhang, Zhengfeng Zhu, Kai Meng, Xiaoqi Zhao, Yuzhou Liu, Yi Mao, Peng Cheng, Xiaobo Mao, Qiutang Zeng

“…Interestingly, we also found that adoptive transfer of these antigen‐loaded tDCs markedly increased the number of regulatory T cells in the spleen, attenuated the infiltration of inflammatory cells in the infarct hearts, decreased myocardial fibrosis, and improved cardiac function. Conclusions Our results reveal a beneficial role of IL‐37 or tDCs treated with IL‐37 plus TnI in post‐MI remodeling that is possibly mediated by reestablishing a tolerogenic immune response, indicating that IL‐37 or adoptive transfer of IL‐37 plus TnI–treated tDCs may be a novel therapeutic strategy for ventricular remodeling after MI.…”

Cloned airway basal progenitor cells to repair fibrotic lung through re-epithelialization by Yu Zhao, Yueqing Zhou, Weipan Zhang, Mingzhe Liu, Jun Duan, Xiaopeng Zhang, Qiwang Ma, Yujia Wang, Yuzhen Zhang, Zhongliang Guo, Ting Zhang, Wei Zuo

“…Transplantation of human progenitor cells into the mouse lung efficiently re-epithelializes the injured alveolar area, forms new respiratory tract and saccule-like structures, which ameliorates fibrotic lesions and improves survival of mice. Mechanistically, the engrafted human progenitor cells do not function by differentiating into mature alveolar cells in mouse lung; instead, they differentiate into saccular cells expressing multiple tight junction proteins such as CLDN4, which help the lung to re-establish epithelial barriers. …”
