Interplays between Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Immune Responses
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) exist in almost all tissues and are crucial in maintaining the cellular homeostasis of multicellular organisms. They provide the ultimate cell source for tissue repair and regeneration. Under pathological conditions, these cells are awakened, activated, and mobilized to damaged tissue sites. Since tissue damages are often accompanied by inflammatory factors, from both innate immune response and adaptive immune response, it is sensible that MSCs delicately interact with inflammatory factors at the sites of tissue damages.
Depending on the type and persistence of the inflammatory factors, the activated MSCs could lead either to complete or partial tissue repair, or to chronic inflammation and further tissue damage, such as cancer and fibrosis. Indeed, recent studies have shown that there is a bidirectional interaction between MSCs and inflammatory cells and cytokines. However, much information of this information remains to be elucidated. Further investigations in this newly emerging exciting research area will undoubtedly lead to better understanding of pathogenesis of various diseases and novel treatment strategies.
SynVivo的应用
SynVivo是一款模拟体内血管环境的微流体芯片，可以模拟仓鼠、大鼠和小鼠的不同血管。提供形态和生物学仿真微环境，可以对药物等微粒与细胞的相互作用进行实时观察研究，其中一些特殊芯片可以培养特定组织类型的细胞，如神经元、肝细胞或肿瘤细胞等。
SynVivo在体外条件下，利用微循环网络模拟在体条件下细胞/微粒粘附、细胞-细胞或细胞-微粒相互作用。研究流体和形态对药物研发和细胞研究的影响.。得到剪切力-粘附效应图，分叉与分支粘附效应等。研究人员只需用适当的底物覆盖微芯片的通道（如纤连蛋白），然后在其中培养细胞，就可以建立人工的体内环境。这一系统可通过流动的液体来模拟天然的血液。
SynVivo在细胞行为、药物粒子粘附和吸收机制、药物输送、药物发现、药物毒性分析等领域有广泛应用。
