Scalable EPSC-Derived MSC EV Manufacturing
2026-09-24
Gong and colleagues describe a bioreactor-based platform that generates mesenchymal stromal cells from extended pluripotent stem cells and supports scalable extracellular-vesicle production. The resulting EVs resembled primary MSC-EVs and showed comparable therapeutic efficacy in a mouse model of bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis, while important questions about clinical translation remain.

Arachidonic Acid Accelerates Vaccine-Induced Immunity
2026-09-23
A recent study reports that dietary arachidonic acid (ARA) increases rabies vaccine-induced neutralizing antibodies and protection in mice, while oral supplementation accelerated the appearance of potentially protective antibody levels in human volunteers. The findings link ARA-derived prostaglandin I2 signaling with B-cell activation, suggesting a dietary approach worth testing further—not an established substitute for vaccine optimization or clinical guidance.
